Relationships & Dating: the part with your clothes on

I used to think “romantic sex” meant whispery nonsense and zero real clit action, right up until a partner stopped mid‑kiss, looked me in the eye, and said, “You’re allowed to move your hips, you know.” Turns out the Hollywood version never shows a woman tilting her pelvis for G‑spot access or a guy grinding in a slow circle to actually hit the clitoris.
