Personally, I never liked the term "foreplay". To me it made it seem like sex was formulaic, like a recipe. Do this and that in this amount before adding this. I just prefer to think of sex as one giant build up. It starts the moment you wake up in the morning, continues to build throughout the day, until ending in a grand crecendo that night. Thoughts, words and gestures to let the other know how special they are. Then on to physical contact, again slowly building up the attraction between the two. Then after neither can stand it anymore....
