The Mating Game...

I consider every sexual encounter that I get into to be a brand new learning experience. Whether it's a guaranteed one-night stand or a long termer. The first time or 100th time, I'm always gathering information. What makes sex such an interesting study, is the fact that you have two people, sometimes complete strangers, trying to find a way to use the other person's body to get to the peak of physical satisfaction. More times than not, these two people are from completely different backgrounds of sex. They may want completely different things, they may expect one thing or another, but the desired end result is the same. However, where the most interesting and satisfying end results come are when you get two people who want to get their satisfaction from another person's satisfaction. Here is where the manipulation comes in. This is where it becomes a game.
I consider myself a student of people. That's to say that I like to study the way people behave and respond. The most interesting subsection to study is sexual behavior. I've found women who love to be roughed up and abused. I've found women who want to be slow stroked and caressed. I personally hate those women. I'm the type of guy that wants to dominate the situation. Get a little rough, maybe. That's where I like to click with my women. But I'm smart enough to be flexible in that aspect. Not all women like the choke and the spank. But whatever it is that they do like, I like to meet them there, and take them somewhere they may have never known they wanted to go.
Foreplay: Foreplay is the best way to start figuring out how to best go about playing the mating game and winning. During foreplay, you have the opportunity to look for a few of your partner's hotspots, these are usually biting/sucking targets, e.g. neck, ears, nipples. As a dominating man, I like to slide my hand around the neck and have it in choking position just momentarily, to check the reaction and see whether or not my woman is definitely into that. The hotspots are your reference points for when you're dealing with any issues getting your partner off. They're great for going back to when it's time for the big climax, and even if you can make it there without them, they can definitely enhance, and often lighten the load of work required for getting some of your more complicated challengers to their final destination.
Initial Entry: I don't consider oral and manual (using hands) sex to be a part of the main event, nor do I consider it foreplay. I categorize it separately. Foreplay happens above the belt and/or over the clothes down bottom. The second part of the process is what I call Initial Entry. This is where you make your first up close and personal with your partner's home plate. When it comes to women, this is a very important time for their partner to pay attention to how they respond to certain touches and finger/ tongue locations. If she doesn't give you much on clitoris action, then you may be better off inside, which is always better for the next part. If she doesn't really dig the inside stuff, and you were better off outside then take note, and do what you can to get her to come because there's a possibility that it will be your only chance.
The Stroke: The stroke is the bread and butter of the entire operation. No matter who you are, you have a very high possibility that you'll have to deal with a stroke of some kind or another. Outside of modern robotics, it's not always a walk in the park to take your lady back to funky town, using only your penis. It's possible, and sometimes, very easy, but in the occasion where you can't just drop in and change her perception of reality, having her question everything from physics to her own existence, you need to know just how to move to make that happen. It's about reading the body language. Listen to her breathing, feel every quiver and twitch when you move one way or another, when you speed up, slow down, go deep or shallow. Keep watching, keep feeling. It shouldn't be hard seeing a how you're literally inside of her. Once you catch the rhythm that she needs, you keep it up no matter what; through cramps, exhaustion, global warming and Armageddon. You keep up the stroke rate and depth until she crosses that finish line and loses control of her body for that perfect 10 to 15 seconds you've been working for for an hour. Remember to pump through to the end unless she gives you the indication that she's the type to either clench you inside, or hop away as fast as possible for recovery.
After she gets her one, feel free to get yours without guilt. Once a woman has had an orgasm, she may be ready for more, but feel free to relax after that. It reality, most women actually orgasm more easily once they've had their first one. So have fun with it, and get your rocks off. You made it. Good job.
I have a lot more tips and tricks I've been harvesting  over my years and through my studies, but I can't make it too easy on you guys. Go out and bone your ladies proper.
