How important is foreplay to you?

Personally I like it. Working my way up to sex, instead of just fucking right off the bat.

It makes me feel more welcome and like I'm not forcing anything on someone. I like it when the girl leads the way so to speak (at some point I like to take charge), just don't want her to feel pressured in any way, so she feels safe and I feel like shes comftorable with me. It makes me feel like were both working up in comfort to the sexual experience, so we can enjoy it uninhibited.

The physical affection itself just turns me on. I have found so far working your way up is better than just jumping into sex. Sometimes I would rather just cuddle up than have sex, because it's so pleasant. A hand hold on the couch, move into cuddling, work into some kissing then go dry hump a bit, start taking each others close off slowly then when were at sex, it's like we worked our passion up and it is way better.

So, foreplay is a big thing for me, how about y'all?
