I gotta say, I’m sure glad I asked about this before I actually attempted it! Judging from the reactions here, were I to try and pull this off in real life, I’d be lucky to wake up alive the next morning! I had a feeling that the general opinion would be that no woman would go for this, but I figured I’d better ask on the off-chance that I might be wrong. Still, up until the part where the guy’s supposed to say, “That’s it for now” it _does_ sound fun! 😃 ---

They lost me with the restraint = good husband thing. Can you imagine? “Honey, can you take out the garbage, please?” “Sure!” _Husband goes up garbage bag, ties the top off, and then lifts the bag out of the can and places it on the floor_ “That’s enough for tonight.” ---

I think a big part of the joy in sex is giving pleasure, not just getting it. I would **not** like being told I couldn’t reciprocate. No, not at all. Nope. Nyet. Nu-uh. I’d also wonder if there was an impotence problem, or whether he actually **wanted** to have sex. [sub]It’s hard to be generous and completely self-centered at the same time, but I see I’ve mastered it.[/sub] ---

Wouldn’t the fact that the couple has been dating for a while, and hasn’t had sex yet, be a sign that the man has more on his mind than getting into her pants? That speaks for a certain amount of restraint in my book. Personally, if a man did that to me, I’d spend the rest of the evening breaking mirrors and crying. I have low enough self esteem without some asshole walking away from my naked, hungry flesh. 🙂 ---

Any man who gets me all lathered up and ready to rumble had _better_ finish what he started. Sexual teasing is not nice, regardless of which gender is doing it. That said - some women might find this appealing, but you better be damn sure of it before you try it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-your-opinions-please/74295.md?page=1)
