Get a stehoscope and play doctor.  I'm only partially kidding, because that is a way I introcued them into play with a reluctant partner once, and it worked really well. Too, manual sex for women feels a WHOLE lot nicer with gloves, because it provides a nice, smooth surface. Really, given the choice between gloved and non-gloved manual sex -- even if there were NO risks present -- I'd pick using a glove, just because I like the way it feels better. ------------------ My epitaph should read: "She worked herself into this ground."

Of course: ask her to try it with you once and find out. I'll be plain: when it comes to sexual health, if you have a partner who isn't willing to try any reliable and safe safer sex method at least once, you might want to ask yourself if that partner is really ready to be sexually active. Me? I find the idea of having a permanent sexual infection a far bigger "turn-off" than having some fun with a little latex. if being as safe as you can with what you do is a turn-off, I'd earnestly suggest you put the brakes on the sexual relationship until your partner is really ready to go about it responsibly. I just can never see it being wise or sane to jeapordizxe your health of your partner's because they're inflexible about something small and easy, if you follow me. ------------------ My epitaph should read: "She worked herself into this ground."

Definitely! A long term STD can *really* put a cramp in your sex life! Honestly, you might want to say something like," I've been reading a bit about safer sex, and I'd like to start by adding gloves to our safe sex kit .(you should have one, if you are sexually active) I also think you will really like how it feels. Can we try them together?" If she feels threatened by a totally casual approach such as that, I'm betting your partner isn't ready for sex. IP: Logged |

Although I don't have any personal experience of this situation, I would guess it would be useful to have some information on hand as 'back-up' to what you're asking. For someone who has never heard about the risks of manual sex, they could interpret the suggestion of using gloves as similar to being asked to put on a PVC nurses outfit and brandish a leather whip (although that may well appeal to them of course!  ) Maybe go over Safe Sound and Sexy together-let her see the benefits for herself so it's her informed choice as well as yours. Good on you for deciding to take this step-you too can be one of the Scarleteen latex kings and queens (and what a lovely bunch they are ------------------ Witness the infinite justice of the new century.

my 2¢ ... offer them and tell her you're afraid of scratching her inside. and then try them out. i'm sure she's not going to object. some people might (unfortunately) freak out if you go in lecturing about STDs -- they (wrongly) think it kills the "mood." but if you give a reason that's not so dire, it might be less frightening to her. then afterwards, you can bring her over to ST, read some articles with her and talk about safer sex. just an idea ------------------ IP: Logged |
