My relationship may appear wildly mundane from the outside looking in. It’s drama-free, for the most part, with the occasional blip.

My lover and I have a routine. We go on a date at least once a week, and on most weekends, you can find us binge-watching television or playing Rummikub while keeping our jowls stuffed with crunchy snacks and takeout.

Sounds like a snooze-fest. But our sex life is HOT!

I can’t seem to keep my lips and hands off ‌him. I have this impulse to wrap my body around his and fondle his genitals all the time.

Why? Because I’m greedy and I can’t get enough? Well, yeah.

My compulsion to jump his bones isn’t because his sexual prowess is on ten. Although he would love to take complete credit for giving me multitudinous orgasms (with and without penetration). But the reality is simpler than that.

I orgasm often because he’s great at following instructions.

Don’t be confused. I am not a sexual drill sergeant, and he is not a sub. But my pleasure is almost guaranteed, because he’s learned how to give me what I want.

Which is precisely what almost every woman wants: a partner that listens.

I know that sounds insanely simple, and it is.

But if you want a few tips on how to do that, keep reading; I got you.
