Protection

Maintain Hygiene

Concentrate On Your Breath

Put On Easy To Strip Clothes
The foreplay could get agonizingly difficult if both of your anticipations go through the trouble of taking off those ridiculously tight jeans.
Sex is an unplanned maneuver, but make sure that you and your partner dress in loose-fitting clothes that may easily be stripped off before having sex. In other words, it would make the sexual foreplay pretty smooth sailing.
Conclusion
