I don't think anyone would refute that the more effort you put into anything the better the reward- same goes with intimacy.
Any guy who jumps into bed and thinks that a couple of minutes of squirming around with his willing partner is going to produce mind-blowing results due to his uniquely male anatomy is sadly delusional.
My experience has been if a guy focuses on the pleasure of his partner then the "reward" is so much more intense. I was fortunate enough to have had a relationship with an older lady when I was younger who taught me a lot about what it takes to aid the orgasmic experience for both. You really don't need a lot of props or toys, just take your time and make it fun and uncomplicated. Penetration is only part of it, there is so much more a guy can do to take care of his partner. I've found that the fewer inhibitions I have the fewer my partner has, it never ceases to amaze me how the right stimulation will turn the quietest of partners into near nymphomaniacs. The biggest turn-on for me is having my partner shaking and twitching due to an intense orgasm, it makes my finish so much more enjoyable.
I've realized that there are many people who just can't let go, be it for cultural, emotional, physical, or other reasons. I really feel for those who for one reason or other are unable to ......relax?...... enough to enjoy one of the greatest gifts imaginable. Too bad it gets complicated with hang ups, being used as control, etc.
Heres a hint guys- you respect your partner and spend some time worshipping her body, chances are that she'll do the same for you.
So really, it's not about who's better (despite my earlier light-hearted response), to me it's more about being willing and uninhibited.
