Everyone's bodies are different so this may or may not match your experience. Does it?
After I climax, I like to just float in my pleasure. I don't want to be touched anywhere within five feet of my clitoris. I don't want to move for fear of ending the feeling. I don't want to talk for a while and I'm definitely not up for any deep conversation. I'm not saying that I'm happy with a guy who just pulls out, turns over, and goes to sleep. I just want him to give me a couple of minutes or so.
I appreciate a guy who wants to make sure I'm happy but asking me if I came isn't it. Several guys (and a couple of roommates) have told me that my orgasms aren't subtle so if he can't tell from my sounds and movements, I don't know how to help him.
Wanting to extend that post-orgasmic feeling as long as possible, I've gotten pretty good at blocking out any distractions. If he wants to know something, he's just going to have to wait for a bit until my body finishes lingering in orgasm land and my head reconnects to my body, landing back on the planet.
Pete and I have been together long enough that he knows my pattern and respects my need to be left to my own pleasure for a while. I only had to explain it to him once and whether or not he understands, it lets me be. When he's licked me to a climax, he knows that he can't just climb on and stick it in. Fortunately, he's patient and I do my best to make his wait worthwhile. I've gotten used to opening my eyes and seeing his head resting on his hand and his eyes focusing on my face as he waits for me. Usually, I kiss him to signal him that it's his turn and he can now touch me.
Tonight, after our post-orgasm kiss, I rolled over to cuddle with him. He draped his arm across me and we pulled together. Finally, I said "Hi."
"Hi back" he replied and he leaned in to kiss me again. We held each other and, even though my post-orgasm bliss had mostly ebbed, my body still felt the wonderful glow that he had produced in it.
I wasn't ready for round two yet. Actually, round three since my first orgasm had come from his tongue and a second in the cowgirl positions. If his penis felt as well used as my vagina, he probably wouldn't be ready to go again and if he did want to, I'd probably use my mouth to give myself a rest down there.
His arm slowly stroked up and down my side. At the bottom of its arc, his fingers brushed my butt and at the top, his thumb gently caressed the side of my boob just enough to know it was there. If he kept that up, another round might be coming.
But no, he wanted to talk. "There are times when you cum that I want to know what it feels like for you."
"My orgasm?" Once we had traded descriptions of our climaxes which was how he knew why touching me immediately ruined my feeling of joy and wasn't appreciated.
"No, you've given me a pretty good description of that. I meant generally, what does sex feel like for you?"
"Physically or mentally?" I asked him, trying to avoid answering his question.
"Both." Yeah, I should have figured that one.
I pondered his question, thought about quick answers I could give him, and then decided that I should welcome his efforts to understand my body. "I'm not sure if I can explain it but I'll try. How about if you go refill my wine glass and let me go to the bathroom first?"
We both got out of bed, him going to the kitchen where we had the left the unfinished wine from dinner. I went to his bathroom and sat down to pee while I considered his question.
When I came back, a full wine glass was on the nightstand on my side of the bed. I sipped it and climbed back under the covers. "Okay, what do you want to know?"
"I want to know everything but start with your ears."
"With my ears?
"Yeah." He leaned over and licked one of my ear lobes and neither of us was surprised at the resulting shiver. "What is it about your ears that make you react like that?"
"I don't know. I only know that it does."
"Okay, so what does it feel like?"
"Physically, not much. I feel you licking me. Your tongue is wet and it rubs on my ear.
That's it."
"And mentally?"
"Mentally is... I don't know. I guess there are a bunch of nerve endings there. My ears are obviously an erogenous zone." I shrugged.
"Obviously." He smiled. Does me licking your ears feel as good as having me lick your clit?"
"Nope." I smile. "There's nothing that feels that good. I think there must be similar collections of nerves in other parts of my body like my ears but I'm pretty sure that my clitoris has more nerve endings than anywhere else."
"I figured that but wanted to make sure." His hand, which had been resting on my hip slid up and he first cupped my breast before his fingers rubbed my underboob. "Is this the same as your ears?"
I thought for a second, enjoying the dance of his fingers. "No, not the same. It's not better or worse, but it's different."
"In what way?"
"Well, I love the feeling of your hands on my boobs... "
"I've noticed that you like that. No complaint from me."
"I've noticed that you don't complain about touching me there. But, even though I love the feeling, I don't get the same physical feeling when you're holding my boob that way that I do in other areas. It's nice but not electric. Maybe fewer nerve endings?
"So why do you like it?
"Would you prefer me to say don't touch me there?" I teased.
"No! Not that!" He smiled at me and switched to the other side.
"Don't worry. I won't. I didn't say I didn't like it, just that my underboob doesn't give me the same level of feeling that I get elsewhere. Maybe it's more psychological then physical."
"Hmmm."
I mean there is something symbolic about boobs. When I allow a guy to touch me there, it's an important step. It's more than just a kiss and less then sex but it's a signal that sex is a good possibility. That's why I say it's more psychological."
"Makes sense and I see what you mean about symbolism. When I'm kissing I wonder if or when I should move there so if or when I do... well, touching bare is like climbing a mountain and reaching the top."
That made me curious. "If bare boob is a mountain, then what's sex?"
He smiled. "Mount Everest."
His fingers had been walking around my underboob and climbing up Mt. Boob toward my nipple then backing away. Now, he moved it up and it circled around my areola but carefully avoided my nipple.
"Mmmm. Now that feels nice." I did like it but now, knowing that he was going to ask, I thought about why I liked it.
"Physical or mental?" he asked.
"Probably more mental. It feels nice but there's not an incredible physical feeling like electric shocks. I'm just feeling the touch of your finger going around. But I do like it."
"Same as here?" he asked, quickly rubbing my underboob again before moving back.
"No, different. I think it's more of the teasing that you're doing. What I really want is for you to touch my nipple. If you move around like that without touching it, I have to force myself to wait and not grab your hand and move it there."
He smiled. Is that why your nipples stick out when I do that? Trying to grow toward my finger?"
"That's not really it but they do tend to stick out, don't they?"
"Okay, so you really want me to touch your nipples. So, what does being touched on them feel like? His fingers were now circling my nip and he occasionally flicked it back and forth. I became aware of the early stages of arousal and wondered if another round might be possible.
"On one level it just feels like you touching me. Almost some friction between your finger and my skin."
"Like me touching your elbow?" He sounded truly curious and maybe confused since my elbow doesn't react like my nips.
"As far as the touch, maybe. I think the skin on my nipples are different though. Plus..."
