> [@Patty\_O\_Furniture](#): > > If it was my partner, I’d reach behind the head with both hands and grab on to the hair by the roots and pull back a bit. Not enough to pull hair out, just enough to give the hint that you’d like her to dial it down a bit. Just saying, if a girl did that to me, I’d assume that she was in the throes of passion and really enjoyed what I was doing, so I’d do it more. Don’t pull the hair. ---

I wouldn’t joke about it, or make fun, or anything. Tell her, yea, but not jokes. Personally, I adapt to various styles, and try to accomodate them to what I like (either keep my mouth open or close, or pull apart, or do something else). Hint (usually) taken, adaptations done. ---

That sounds hot. If she’s that into it, I do not see a problem. ---

I’d take control of the situation by restraining her a bit and controlling the speed, depth and intensity of the kissing. If she attacks the back of your throat with her tongue pull away, hold her face and show her how it’s done. Teach by doing - introduce her to sensuality and the art of the tease. ---

Failing that, introduce her to me. 😉 ---
