ocr: work with your partner to find out more about her individual desires and responses. Ifyou find it difficult to ask your partner for her cooperation, you may need to look at ways ofbecoming more sexually assertive. Don't be discouraged by thinking that she expects you to know everything and always to take the lead. Men can suffer from having to take the responsibility for initiating sex, but please get it clear, first to yourself and then to your lover, that good lovemaking involves both partners fully - with neither consistently making all the moves.
