We’re not sexperts. We’re just a couple who’ve had our fair share of “oops, wrong spot” moments — and a hell of a lot of laughs figuring things out along the way. 

One thing we’ve learned (the hard way)? The clit isn’t some mythical red button you just jab at and hope for the best. And no — fast and furious isn’t always the vibe.  

Truth is, there are loads of things most women wish their partners knew about the clitoris… they just don’t always say it out loud. Why? Because they don’t want to hurt your ego. Or they’ve tried — and been ignored. Or maybe, they just didn’t know how to explain it themselves.

This blog isn’t here to embarrass anyone. It’s here to help. Whether you’re brand new to exploring this glorious little bundle of nerves, or you think you’ve got it nailed — we promise there’s something in here that’ll change the way you touch, tease, and turn her on.

🔥 It’s Not Just Foreplay — It Is the Main Event

I’m just going to say it — if you still think the clitoris is some kind of starter course before “real sex,” you’ve been watching too much bad porn and not listening to enough actual women.

For most of us, the clit is how we orgasm. Full stop. Not your thrusting. Not that one magic position. The clit. In fact, science backs me up — around 75% of women need clitoral stimulation to climax.

Now, before anyone screams “but my girlfriend prefers penetration!” — let’s clear something up:
She’s probably still getting clitoral stimulation — just indirectly.

The internal clit wraps around the vaginal canal, so when you hit the right spot (especially toward the front), you are still working the clit. Add in grinding, rubbing, or using a toy during penetration? That’s the clit putting in overtime.

So yes — some women climax from penetration alone.
But most of the time, the clitoris is still involved — even if it’s not being directly touched.

Here’s the truth we don’t always say out loud:

  • 👉 Penetration doesn’t replace clitoral stimulation.
  • 👉 If you treat it like a pit stop, you’re missing the point.
  • 👉 And no, five seconds of “just checking in” doesn’t cut it.

We want you to focus on it. Like it matters. Like it’s the whole damn plot. Because for many of us, it is.

🧠 Clit Fact Check (Because We Know You’ll Google It)

The clitoris isn’t just that little nub up top — it’s actually a complex internal structure with legs that wrap around the vaginal canal. That means even during penetrative sex, the clit might still be getting stimulated — especially in positions that rub against the front wall (think missionary or cowgirl).

So when someone says they orgasm from penetration alone? Chances are, their clit’s just playing it cool in the background.

The clit isn’t a joystick. Start soft, tune in, and don’t rush the moment.

💁‍♀️ Start Soft — It’s a Sensation, Not a Performance

Right, let’s talk about technique — or more specifically, what not to do.

You know when you’re really into something, and your partner thinks that means “yes, now harder, faster, let’s goooo!”? Yeah… no. That’s not it. That’s not ever it.

The clit is ridiculously sensitive — we’re talking 8,000 nerve endings in one small spot. That’s double what you’ve got in your penis. So imagine someone rubbing your tip like they’re trying to win a scratch card, and you’ll understand why we sometimes go from “mm, yes” to “ouch, stop” in about two seconds.

Lighter is usually better. Slower is sexier.
And most importantly — what felt good two minutes ago might not feel good now. Her body shifts. Her nerves adjust. And what once hit right might suddenly feel too much.

Want to upgrade your game?
Start with gentle fingers or tongue — then ask if she wants more pressure. Use flat, wide strokes. Don’t just poke. Don’t go straight for the tip. And don’t treat it like a joystick. This is a symphony, not a wrestling match.

Also: toys.
If you’re going to bring one in, choose something with soft, adjustable intensity — like a clitoral suction toy. Not something that sounds like it belongs in a toolbox.

Here’s the bottom line:
If she flinches, freezes, or goes quiet — don’t assume she’s about to come. She’s probably trying not to kill the vibe while hoping you stop. Be better than that.

⏳ Timing Matters — Don’t Rush Past the Moment

Here’s something I wish someone had told us years ago: you can ruin a perfectly good orgasm by rushing it. Not even kidding.

We’ve had moments where everything was building just right — breath getting heavier, body curling, clit right on the edge — and then boom… he sped up, changed rhythm, or tried to switch positions because he thought it would make it better.

Spoiler: it didn’t.

What actually works? Staying in the moment. Holding the rhythm. Keeping the pressure the same. Women’s arousal works differently — it’s like a slow climb. One tiny disruption, and the whole tower can wobble. Go too fast, too soon, and you skip the orgasm that was literally seconds away.

Here’s a wild idea: don’t escalate — extend.
When she’s close, don’t add more — stay right where you are. And if you’re feeling confident, try edging — slowly backing off to build it up again. Done right, it turns one orgasm into a full-body aftershock.

And please, for the love of all things holy: don’t treat sex like a race.
If your goal is to finish quickly, cool — go solo. But if you’re with her, learn to enjoy the suspense.

Trust me — she’ll thank you later. Probably out loud. With shaking legs.

The clit’s not a vending machine.
Some days it’s up for it, some days it just wants a cuddle.

🌥️ Some Days It Works, Some Days It Doesn’t — And That’s Normal

You know what makes sex better? Feeling like you’re allowed to have an off day.

No pressure. No guilt. No “what’s wrong with you today?” looks when things aren’t going how they usually do.

Because let me be real with you — the clit is not a vending machine. You don’t just press the right buttons and get an orgasm every single time. Sometimes it’s sensitive. Sometimes it’s numb. Sometimes it’s distracted. And sometimes? It just wants a cuddle and a snack.

Hormones, stress, lack of sleep, body image, emotions — they all affect how we feel. And if she’s anxious, rushed, or worrying about whether she’s “performing” enough? You can guarantee her orgasm just left the chat.

This is where your energy matters. Confidence is sexy — but entitlement is not. Don’t take it personally if she’s not into it tonight. Don’t sulk if she asks you to stop. And don’t act like it’s your fault — or worse, her fault.

Just stay connected. Stay kind. Maybe offer to rub her back and hold her instead. That kind of emotional safety? That’s what makes a woman trust you with her pleasure — and want to keep giving it to you.


❓ Asking & Assuming

Can we just say this once and for all? Asking is hot.

There’s this weird myth that if you have to ask her what she likes, you’re somehow less confident. But here’s the truth: guessing is way less sexy than asking and actually getting it right.

Things like:

  • “Do you want me to keep going like that?”
  • “Want it slower?”
  • “Too much?”
  • “Is this the spot?”

…they’re not awkward. They’re respectful, connected, and intimate as hell.

And don’t just ask once — keep checking in. The clit isn’t static. It can change minute to minute, depending on pressure, rhythm, mood, and how close she is.

Also — we know when you’re doing that thing where you keep going because you think you should. But if your mind’s wandered, your body feels bored, or you’re just trying to “finish the job,” trust us — she can feel it. And it kills the moment.

Being present is the sexiest thing you can do. Not perfect technique. Not 8 hours of foreplay. Just being there with her. Curious. Caring. Willing to ask and willing to adjust.




💬 Final Thoughts — Get Curious, Not Defensive

There were times we got it wrong. Well… quite a few times. But we learned — mostly because we stopped assuming, and started asking.

This isn’t about blaming. It’s about getting better together.

And honestly? When clitoral pleasure is treated like the priority it deserves to be — not a footnote or warm-up — the whole experience changes. It becomes more connected, more orgasmic, and way more fun for both of you.

If you’ve ever felt unsure — or thought, “am I even doing this right?” — you’re not alone. Most partners have been there. This stuff isn’t taught. But that’s why this blog exists.

So if you’ve read this far, gold star. Now go try something new tonight — and maybe let her read this too.
