What do I do with my hands?

Ok some backstory. I’m female, married, and never been great with using my hands on a man and need some tips. I’m pretty inexperienced, all of my exes were virgins and my DH was my fourth partner.

sex life has been rubbish (2x a month on average) and very much ‘grab some lube, get it over with’ due to lack of interest on my part / young children.

We are working hard to change that and are now having sex a few times a week. However during foreplay I don’t feel comfortable just lying there whilst he touches me and because I’m rubbish with my hands I tend to use my mouth. However he has said he doesn’t want to receive BJs as standard and wants them to be more of a treat.

he doesn’t like his nipples being touched. I run my hands over his back, in his hair, over his buttocks, kiss him, but sometimes feel like I need to do more in the appropriate area.

my hands are often clammy, he’s circumcised and I don’t want to just wank him off (which would probably be uncomfortable given the clammy hands and lack of foreskin), avoiding my palms and just stroking him with my fingers feels a bit twee (and would surely be ticklish / irritating?)

I have mentioned it to him but we are both very vanilla and don’t feel overly comfortable discussing stuff like that / being graphic. For example if I sent him a picture of my vagina it would turn him off, same with sexting. To be fair if he sent me a dick pic i’d cringe too. So basically looking for tips from real people!

also the thought of spitting on my hand or something like that first makes me feel a bit yuck, and we both enjoy not using condoms / lube so there’s no disruption during, it all feels a bit more natural. So not sure how he’d feel if I bent over to get some lube out of the drawer (which he hates anyway as it goes sticky).

thanks in advance.

He's your husband. Presumably you've been together for years. You must surely have an idea of what he likes in bed by now. And if not, then you're best communicating with him rather than asking strangers, as sex is a personal thing and we're all different.

I prefer lotion to lube when using my hands.

Mysticguru · 29/05/2024 14:56

Ask him to show you. Or go tantric!

PanteneQueen · 29/05/2024 16:04

@Yozzer87 yes I do, but I have never ever ever used my hands on him so I don’t know what to do there, and if I’ve ever seen him touch himself it’s not something I can do with clammy hands.

another issue with lube is that I get wet enough so add lube to the mix and it’s too slippery when we come to penetration and then you really don’t want to do oral if that does come next.

As a man I'd say just touch him and see how he reacts.
Play with his balls very gently and see if he likes it.
I love my wife rubbing my bum cheeks.

Rub the back of his neck.
The most important thing is that you enjoy what you are doing.

Jessica Parker ran some great workshops about penis massage during lockdown. Worth keeping an eye out for more. You are fully clothed and join via zoom. She has a vulva one on 17 June if your DH is interested in learning something new.

Her blog about it is here www.killingkittens.com/blog/penis-massage-tips/

Ruth Ramsay is another great sex educator who I'd recommend www.ruthramsay.com/blog

Thank you both!

This may sound a bit crazy (bear with me!) but I was also a bit icky about saliva or lube, and found using medical-type disposable gloves worked really well.

It started off as a part of some dress up play, but it helped me get over the ick of using lube, DH swears it feels amazing (apparently smoother/slicker than bare hands) and I also love the lack of clean up (just take the gloves off!). It's also made me more willing to play with DH's bum, which he likes, and occasionally finger his prostate.

There's also something weirdly kinky about snapping on the black gloves....

PanteneQueen · 30/05/2024 16:26

@NSFWnamechange thank you for the tip! Not sure it’s right for us as this is more for foreplay before we have intercourse. Foreplay doesn’t tend to last very long, no longer than 5-10 minutes so I’m not too sure about slapping on some gloves. Likely touching him will only be a minute or two of that as the rest is usually kissing / grinding, him touching me, it’s more to reciprocate a bit rather than just lying there. Vs a full on mutual masturbation sesh which we’ve never done (but I’d like to). As I say we are very vanilla!

my DH and I don’t do anything anal related so I think we are ok on that front :)

If you're rubbing / massaging his back and bum then move your hand round to the inside of his thighs which is often very sensitive and even round the lower end of his tummy.....sort of teasing at being near his penis without actually touching it.

Namechangednorth · 31/05/2024 07:07

Sounds like you are doing ok the right things. I think as you move towards his penis area, take your time touching, even tickling his legs, around his bum, balls and really avoiding his penis until he is literally begging for it. I think you should celebrate he is circumcised ( I really love that and my DH is) and just gently hold it, kiss and suck a little but then use a little lube. Hold any excess foreskin back if he doesn't have a tight circumcision and gradually rub up and down the full length with your fingers until he is begging to go inside you or actually wants you to take him all the way using fingers and your mouth. Although being cut (as I call it) and being less sensitive this is a great thing as he will last longer. Good for both of you.

When I do this for my husband and he is so turned on he so,times indicates for me to take him all the way using my mouth. What I like is that he usually reciprocates for me and we both have lovely orgasms without even having PIV.

Good luck and well done for working on things.

Sweet almond oil (organic food grade) makes a great massage oil / lube and it doesn’t go sticky. Why not start off with giving him a massage (so the oil is already out and there doesn't need to be an interruption to add it). Ask him to tell you what feels good or to show you what he likes... then next time suggest he returns the favour

StarlightLady · 01/06/2024 09:15

I think you are overthinking this. Just go for what comes naturally, plus do have that little conversation.

For what it’s worth, l can usually bring a man to his conclusion without touching him at all, even with hands behind my back.

PanteneQueen · 01/06/2024 10:02

@AltitudeCheck funnily enough did exactly that last night (minus asking / showing); I don’t think that’s worth the time tbh as we had a chat about it and he can basically sort himself out in under 2 minutes! So him showing me that is pretty pointless…
