I Vote for an Overhaul of What “Making Love” Means
So I’m reading a James Patterson book right now. And two of the characters “make love,” meaning he takes her clothes off and starts pounding away in five minutes flat. You know what went through my brain? OWWWWWWW! My number one fustration with any dating relationship is how little attention men pay to my body. I’m almost never ready for intercourse when the man is. And, honestly, it’s irritating when the man has to go straight to intercourse. Women are not one giant pussy just waiting around for a man’s convenience. The number one cause of vaginal pain during intercourse is dryness. And you know why? Women are usually dry because the man has never really understood what foreplay means. A woman needs time to become lubricated. And, yes, foreplay lasts longer than five minutes. Just once, I’d like to hear a man who understands that making love means paying attention to a woman’s ENTIRE body. You know, massaging, kissing, actually exploring her. And, I don’t know, maybe he could go crazy and give her breasts more than one glance. And for writers like Mr. Patterson, maybe you could describe real, emotional love instead of wham, bam, thank you maam.
Quite agree with what you said.
