I really enjoy these threads … they seem to confirm to me that there IS a normalcy in the world that I often times miss thru my native cynicism.
As to the topic: I have never had a “one-night stand” and don’t really know about them. All my “relationships” have been relatively long-term, -except the one that was causitive of my first marriage to collapse - and in the course of these relationships I have enjoyed some excellent sex with my partners.
Even tho I am not an “expert” lover by any means, I have always tried to make sure that my partner/mate has enjoyed herself as fully as possible. I am not now - hopefully will be - very well endowed, but I have found that touching, kissing, nibbling and “slurping” have gone a long way toward helping “her” feel the full experience of her sexuality.
A great resource for this is the classic, THE KAMA SUTRA. Even tho it is a bit dated and the language may be a bit uncomfortable for some (style, not content), this is a GREAT resource. In addition, the late LEWIS SMEDES, Theologian & ethicist has written one of the best books on the subject of intimacy called SEX FOR CHRISTIANS. It is not a “manual” or a “thou shalt not” book, and in fact, for the conservative Dr. Smedes was a radical departure.
I guess that it may be summed up in the truth that if one expects the best for their partner, one will be rewarded with the best.
Keep up the “chat.” I am a learning fool here … a regular fool elsewhere.
SHALOM!
