Could you be satisfied with just foreplay?
By definition, foreplay is any act or series of acts intended to create desire for sexual activity, i.e. intercourse; or which cause sexual arousal. Foreplay is not necessarily an act or series of acts that leads to intercourse, though it may. For the purposes of our answer, foreplay includes but is not limited to intimate touching, masturbation and mutual masturbation, kissing on the lips or other parts of the body, and oral sex.
In the event that one of us suffered a debilitating physical malady that prevented us from having penetrative sex, could we still be happy with the sex life that remained? Could we maintain our sanity and our sunny dispositions were we, from this day forward, unable to ever again enjoy the manner of sexual pleasure that comes from being so physically close that we nearly share the same body? It seems unlikely.
We might be satisfied with a drastic diminishment of the amount of intercourse provided that foreplay was allowed to take place, but we can’t imagine never having intercourse again. We suppose we could stand being limited to foreplay 80% of the time provided that the remaining 20% of our sex life included penetrative sex. We’re still relatively young; the thought of living the rest of our lives without fucking is a tunnel with no light at the end.
To be clear, we have an exciting and satisfying sex life. We enjoy the foreplay that we have, but we have always seen it primarily as a precursor to penetrative sex. Were we to be forever limited in this fashion, we would make the most of the situation. We would more than likely never wind up unsatisfied physically. Without the intimacy we derive from intercourse, however, emotional satisfaction may be lacking.

Wow that is a tough question. I think I could. While I do enjoy penetrative sex I can get just as satisfied knowing my partner has been satisfied. Although I also know there are those times that the itch has to be scratched. When nothing will do but being filled to capacity and stretched with him inside me.. mmmm maybe not..
Excellent question. but I leave you no answer, because I want you to try and just imagine among yourself, no foreplay other then casual kissing. No tongue sliding down her slit, no tongue lapping inside her pink walls. No dick slapping the back of her throat, while being envelope by the tightness of her lips. Try it for a week, and I think your answer will change just a little. 🙂
If foreplay could still lead to orgasm it wouldn’t be too terrible.
I think I’m in line with your “80%” answer
I REALLY like tihs post and how you answered it. I want to think a bit before I add my 2 cents
