Bag O’ Tricks

Is there ever a right time to bring out your sexual ‘bag of tricks?’ You know, the ‘Look, Mum, no hands!’ moves and manoeuvres we’ve picked up over the years from Cosmo sealed sections, ex-boyfriends, helpful best friends and handy sex books. Think ice-cubes, chocolate sauce, feathers, handcuffs, that quirky thing you can do with your tongue ... ooh, is it getting hot in here?
Personally I think that the first time you sleep with someone new (and keen on seeing again) you should be delivering a short, spicy covering letter. A highlights reel, rather than the whole movie. Sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but I reckon first-time sex should be as no-frills as possible. I certainly don’t want to be showing off any tantric yoga moves, giving him the best blow-job of his life and making him a full cooked breakfast afterwards. Surely a chick has to keep some things in reserve for later on down the track? A little mystery and a poker face?
A guy friend of mine agrees some women can be a little too eager to show off their bag o’ tricks. He formed this opinion after spending a disconcerting night in the boudoir with a girl who made Paris Hilton look demure. After a bit of foreplay she whispered into his ear that she had a sexual trick that would make him weak at the knees. She certainly delivered on that promise - proceeding to shove two fingers where the sun don't shine. Ouch. Some warning and/or lubrication would have been nice. His reaction was to scream and hide under the doona, causing his flatmates to think he was being assaulted. Which, perhaps, he was...
Another girlfriend just doesn’t get the withholding of sexual prowess. She reckons once you’re naked, all bets are off. And why wouldn’t you want to be as versatile and surprising as possible with a new lover?
What exactly is in your bag of tricks anyway RC?!, she said, demanding specifics. But, of course ... that's a whole other post...
Tell me... what’s in your bag of tricks? And are you revealing them all on the first night?
