These days when anything goes perhaps we are in need to a guide to the correct way to behave in our sexual relationships, whether permanent or a one night stand. I am looking for your suggestions. The answers might well be wide ranging.

I am thinking of such things as: genital and butt hygiene before and afterwards; not rolling off your partner and going str8 to sleep; keeping the bed clean; complimenting your partner's body parts and/or performance; showering together or apart; which partner unrolls the rubber over the top's penis; how versatile partners might decide a dispute over acting as top and bottom; is it acceptable to give a potential partner a red rose? I am sure the experienced people out there can come forward with some interesting, informative and humorous replies.

Dear Nigel,

I deduce from the huge number of replies that this is a subject that it either too close to home or it is one that the forum doesn't feel expert in. (Which is a surprise to me. Maybe I'm wrong about that!)

To establish a form one has to do a lot of it and I never did much one night stands or casual sex - I soon discovered how much nicer things are if you know and like your partner (and if possible love them!) And all my experience is so long ago (and when it was against the law) that it's probably not relevant nowadays.

But people and relationships are so different one from another that the only thing I can see in common among my friends is that I would talk to them and they would talk to me and that once the initial barriers were down we weren't shy with each other to say or ask things.

Love,
Anthony

I tend to think that hygiene in any sexual relationship is an essential item unless one is into some fetishes.

I have never viewed taking a crap as a spectator sport, so I think anal hygiene is better performed personally in privacy and in advance. Others hold different views and make it a part of foreplay. Each to his own I guess.

I think in starting this thread I was not being entirely serious, but thought it might lead to some humorous and entertaining, maybe even satirical replies.

I was thinking in terms of those books in etiquette which might be found on the lifestyle shelves in a bookshop, or rather might have crept across to the humour section.

My mistake may have been that these days formal etiquette as taught at the finishing school is largely unknown and so the the topic did not really strike a chord with anyone.

Does this make things clearer?

But finishing school is for girls. So lesbians would know what is what!

Out of curiosity, I did a google search on the topic. I actually found a book on sex etiquette! It's at http://www.nerve.com/promos/SexEtiquette/

Here are a couple of humorous quotes from same:

How to Make the First Move: Do not lick your lips as you go in for the kiss. This is the equivalent of a renowned opera singer hocking up a loogie on stage in order to clear his throat before an aria.

Public Sex Protocol: In an alleyway, you must stay standing and should pull clothes aside rather than removing them. If you are caught by someone who claims the alley as a home, you must donate at least five dollars to their cause and move on quickly.

Oh my no!!!!!!!11

I am not allowed to do satire as it is read as combativness.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
