MrHP performs foreplay for a long time, also. He pretty much does whatever I want or need him to do, but the problem with guys like him is that he then gets resentful and I have NO idea about it.
The "astroglide instead of foreplay" was actually my idea to sorta level the playing field a bit, but he is turning to that a little too frequently for my tastes lately.
He simply does not relish the experience in the same way I do. Most of the time that is okay with me, because he takes care of me anyway.
