Use Both Hands<\/h2>\n<p>Your hands are wonderful, tactile tools that can completely control sensation when you vary the pressure of your touch. While behind or facing your partner, you can use interlocking fingers to mimic the sensation of a slow, intense penetration as if you were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/lending-a-helping-hand-how-to-give-the-perfect-hand-job\/\">giving a hand job<\/a>. Your top hand should pinch the top of the condom at the tip of the penis with thumb and forefinger, while the other hand rolls the condom down and strokes the shaft. (Watch those nails though.)<\/p>\n<h2>2. Keep Them Close to Your Heart<\/h2>\n<p>The chest can be an area of intense erogenous stimulation as well as visually exciting for your partner, so why not incorporate your form into function? Using your wrists to push your breasts together, make sure your hands meet at your cleavage so one hand can hold the tip of the condom while the other supports the ring to unroll it over your partner as they thrust (slowly and gently!) between them.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Take it from the Top<\/h2>\n<p>This is a technique best paired with your favorite on-top sex position, but it also requires a little skill and a lot of control.

Then, slowly insert the tip and (using hands to guide as necessary) slowly push yourself onto them until the condom is completely unrolled.
