Communication doesn't need to be verbal - and I'm more talking about setting the precedent for communicating about pleasure as a practice. Being able to communicate about pleasure takes you a lot further in mutual pleasure than having a "trick", yknow?

Yeah well, you said to ask, while the actual point is "listen" (and "feel"), that is what I meant

Well, even if the other person doesn't communicate their answer verbally, you can ask verbally :) it is the most direct way to establish an open pathway for communication.

Yeah my problem in the past has been that they may be embarrassed to answer or just not know what to ask for

For sure, but that's kinds the point in a way, you identify that communication is an issue and you can work on it :3
