I won't dissemble: I went into this musing with preconceived notions, and I didn't think I'd like it. Color me quite wrong. It's rare, but it does happen.

I hadn't heard this term ("fluid bonding") and knew it only as "unsafe sex" or "bareback": borrowed from equestrians (saddleless -- not a fan, I like a saddle on my horse) then Vietnam GIs, then the LGBT+ community. "Fluid bonding" is definitely more applicable to what it actually is and likely should be. Especially as you so lyrically described it.

Now that I fully understand your PRE-criteria, and the mutuality of it, it's the easiest way to mimic committed coitus, wherein one doesn't worry about intimacy inhibitors tied to infection and worse.

You are absolutely right; the explosive end is often the second best part, and I've no doubt it's because I believe I'm part of what brought it off.

I'd like to also say to any other men reading along -- CLIPPED IS CAPTIVATING; every man I know who's done this (and it's nowhere nearly enough) was pleasantly surprised at how painless and effective it was, and as a woman, it's a relief not to be held responsible for that side of the condom-free equation, too.

the mind always softens once it feels safe enough to listen.

And again, another fortune cook contestant on ... well it's not the Price is Right.
