Has anyone else ever asked anyone to have an STI test? How did they react?

I’ve edged and been edged by different partners in the past. It can be quite fun with the right partner and as @forrestwalker said, can be quite an intense experience. However, not everyone enjoys it. It really depends on personal preference!

Theres a bit more space for your mouth so its easier to breath. It also prevents some of the fumes from passing cars from being inhaled. Perhaps this might be the go for sex as well?

Definitely think that these sorts of activities can be super enjoyable and facilitate a different sort of intimacy with your sexual partners.

I feel like by having this broader view of sex as not just penetration, we can still enjoy ourselves even when we might not have the energy to go as far with it as we usually would!

Just speaking from personal experience, I don’t think think it’s worthwhile just having sex with anyone just for the sake of not being a virgin. When I was younger I did that and it was not an enjoyable experience!

I would definitely recommend durex because sometimes if you or your partner have a penis then its good to get the right size condom!

My partner found the standard size condom didn’t fit him too well but we got a different size and now he finds it much more enjoyable.

Just my 2 cents!
