Sounds very cool! Obviously, from my point of view, he's a fool! If only my wife could be where you are in this process.

I realized how much I should have been part of the experience. I didn't know, and I also was ashamed of touching myself in his presence.

Wouldn't be surprised if my wife felt the same way. For some of us HD men with few inhibitions about our own bodies, we probably don't fully understand that shame. I never felt an ounce of shame in that regard, ever. The more pleasure, the better. And so we think women should think the same way. I mean, did you ever feel any shame enjoying a good pizza or chocolate cake? A woman once explained to me that she was ashamed as a teenager because she had heard that God was watching her. I tried my best to keep from laughing and cracking jokes about God being a voyeur.

I wish there was a little book given to brides on their wedding night/day! Who knows maybe I'll write one!

Haven't seen a book for that specific readership, though there certainly are many books along those lines. The problem is convincing young couples to take such a book seriously. Many people assume love and nature will overcome all of their inhibitions and why not let things be "natural". For too many people, a committed exclusive sexual relationship ends up being a bubble of sexual ignorance which is never corrected. I've even heard of cases where couples went years without being able to have children, only to find out from the doctor that they didn't put the right anatomical parts together correctly to get pregnant!
