DlrtyDrew. My girlfriend and I have been to- gether for three years. We are very physical people and usually tend to make love several times a week. I am not complaining about the sex, be- cause it is great. The problem is fore- play. It lacks variety. It is the same routine every time. Will you give us some" Ideas on ways to change up our pre-sex arousal? -StImulant Searcher StImulant Searcher. New partners have a flavorful as- sortment of tricks to add to hot bed- room rendezvous'. But after some time with that particular partner, the maneuvers that once wooed you over have become mundane. Therefore, newfound spice is need- ed to entice "randy behaviors and create mind-blowing sexual stimu- lation. It Is easier sald than done, be- cause when you begin having sexual encounters with a new person, you test various positions, stimulants and romantic gestures to 'try it on for size.' In testing, you are able to find your partner's trigger points to satisfy them sexually. Over time, senses change and stimulants can as well. Foreplay is an extreme climax in- tensifier. Depending on the mood, a PHOTOS COURTESY OF CODY RAYL gentle touch on the back of the neck Anna Demetrlades (right) a sophomore at Boise State Is assisting Jen Kniss (left) in organizing project OM.

Gender zones are commonly perceived as similar from one to the next. This is not true. Just as taste varies from one individual to another, so do g-spots. Ask your partner what they enjoy. Respect them and tell them what they can do to make your toes curl in sheer ecstasy. A common misconception of foreplay is oral sex, or actions centered on oral sex. While oral sex can be a part of foreplay, it is not re- quired. Start foreplay off subtly. Run your woman a warm bubble bath with vanilla. She will savor the relaxing feeling, plus vanilla is an aromatic sexual stimulant for men. This will release hormones for each gender.
