It will probably happen to you at least a few times until you get the feel for how much is enough, as you experiment. But if it’s a common and chronic issue with you, then lighten up and go easy. Going Backwards in a Seduction Another mistake guys make is moving backwards in the seduction. Instead of moving the process along forward to the next step, they start repeating steps they’ve already made! For example, a guy will build social value through stories and teasing, screen and accept the girl, build one-onone bond and connection with the girl… and then, when she’s ready to sleep with him, he goes back to doing more stories and teasing.
She may say, “No please…” verbally but give you no physical resistance whatsoever. In fact, I had a girl telling me, “We shouldn’t be doing this,” while she was unfastening her bra! So in many cases you can just IGNORE her token resistance and keep going. She crumbles in no time flat. If she keeps saying, “We shouldn’t really be doing this…” and you sense the situation calls for you to say something, simply start talking SEXY to her. Her: “Oh god… we shouldn’t be doing this…” You: “You’re right… we shouldn’t do this… it’s so bad…” And keep going.
Lean her back on the bed and keep making out. You can further proceed by slipping your hand under her shirt and bra and cupping her breasts and slipping your hand down her pants to massage the area around her pussy. Continue to proceed to sex. What NOT to do You’re sitting with girl on your bed. She's making out with your tongue, playing field hockey with your tonsils. You kiss her neck while you pass your palm over her breasts through her shirt and with the other hand stroke her thigh. You slip one of your hands down her jeans and start massaging her lips with your fingers.
