Your experience sounds similar to mine. My girlfriend (Now wife) introduced me to this when I was in my mid 40's. I had never given it much thought before. Now it is a big part or life. I love it, maybe even more than she does. I don't know that any other woman could gave got me to open my mind to this. She was so tricky about it too. There were subtle nuances when we were intimate that should have given me a clue as to what she was up to. Then one day, when she had lead me to being half way there, she told me what her intentions were. I've never looked back. Lucky man, I am.
