Tortoise is an intercourse technique that uses extremely slow motions so you can really feel each other. The sexual tension built up during this technique is often released as an explosive orgasm you won’t soon forget!

This intercourse technique allows you to slow down, be present and really feel and experience your spouse during sex. Husbands, read this guide on touch. It explains what we mean by “really feel and experience.”
How to Perform the Tortoise Intercourse Technique
- Set the mood by turning the TV off and lighting a few candles, so your wife can relax and enjoy her time with you.
- Start with foreplay without climax until both of you are very aroused. Touching, kissing, and maybe a little oral sex without climax.
- Get into a comfortable sex position where the husband won’t get tired while taking things extremely slow during sex. Here are examples of sex positions that work well with this technique.
- Begin by barely pressing the head of the penis against her vulva and then slowly back off after a moment. Slowly push it against her and back away a few times.
- Next, push the head slowly, so her inner lips open a little to receive it, and then back off slowly. Repeat this step slowly several times.
- Next, push until the head of the penis is just inside of her vagina. Hold it there for a moment and then slowly back out. Repeat this step several times.
- You get the idea. Keep repeating these steps while going a little deeper each time until you’re entirely inside of her.
- If you’ve made it to the point where you’re all the way in, but she hasn’t climaxed, pull out a little and hold still while you or she stimulate her clitoris with your fingers or a small vibrator until she climaxes.
- Once she climaxes, you can pound away and get yours.

I have already been doing this. I never knew it has a name. Sometimes, I can get all the way in without getting mine, sometimes I can’t. This is an amazing technique. We about always love it.

I made the name up today. It seemed to fit nicely.
Randy says
We call it the “Close” when we’re not in a hurry. There are times when she wants me to pound away, or I just need to, but this is by far the most sensual and satisfying of anything that comes to mind. this is what the marriage bed is all about.
Samantha says
Huh? This technique would never result in orgasm for me.
Marriage Bed Tips says
Every technique isn’t designed to bring you to orgasm. Some techniques, such as this one, work well to slowly build up sexual tension or give him a chance to cool down while staying connected so that lovemaking can last longer. This technique is also great for edging and ultimately leading to a more powerful orgasm.
Cait says
I see sex advice all the time about her climaxing first and then him. But for me, if I go first it can be extremely painful for him to enter or keep going inside.
Two Cents says
I wholeheartedly agree. We’ve found that the best technique for us is to make sure she doesn’t cum first, but make sure she does cum, whether during round two or with manual finger/tongue/penis stimulation. Often times I can stay hard after ejaculation and continue until she orgasms. If she cums first it’s hard/painful and too sensitive for me to continue until I climax.
