I would say in terms of sexual arousal and foreplay, adequate foreplay is essential for a woman to become aroused. So whatever that entails, and every woman is different. Some women enjoy, you know, breast sensations, others enjoy, you know, lower body sensations, whatever it is. But they do require sexual stimulation, foreplay to become aroused, and without sexual stimulation and foreplay, often times the sexual experience is not satisfying.
