Consider using a water-based lubricant during foreplay. (We say water- based because lubricants like Vaseline can damage condoms.) And if you don’t have any lube, use an ample amount of saliva to prevent him from feeling discomfort. He’ll thank you later.

3.    You didn’t take care of your, um, nether region.

While this can be an awkward subject to approach, it’s an important part of considerate sex. Hygiene is one of the most important parts of intimacy. So don’t overlook this important aspect of satisfaction in the bedroom.

If he “grooms,” chances are he’ll want you to too. Just be very careful in the shower. Know that “oopsies” can lead to cuts and painful razor burn. Find a grooming tool, like a razor specifically designed for the bikini area, to take care of down-there trims.

Take caution when using popular scented feminine washes. These products can affect your natural PH level, which can lead to infections.

4.    You’re not communicating enough.

In truth, communication is one of the most important parts of good love making. While your guy might be experienced, he’s not a mind reader. That’s why you have to talk to him about what you like -- and vice versa.

That said, no one wants a chatter box. In other words, don’t interrupt the moment to tell him about that great conversation you had with your best friend this afternoon. Let it flow naturally -- and be fully present with the experience.
