Authoranon’s note: Femshep has control issues! Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
I borrowed a lot of Femshep’s hang-ups from conversations I’ve had with friends. There seems to be a ridiculous amount of pressure placed on a woman to be moved to fits of pornographic ecstasy if a guy so much as dangles his winky at her and it really annoys me. Almost every woman I’ve talked to who has trouble getting off always feels that there’s something secretly wrong with her, which is complete bullcrap as far as I’m concerned.
Mind you, the message of this fic is not that a woman’s orgasm rest solely on the prowess and/or observation skills of her partner (mind you, the observation skills HELP). I don’t believe that anymore than I believe in that ‘a woman is responsible for her own orgasm’ nonsense. People are different and need different things. Some women can do it on their own, some women need a partner. Some women need a partner, but it has to be the RIGHT partner. It really varies. The important thing is to keep trying until something (or someone!) works.
I recently stumbled into the MassEffect fandom and found myself with a severe craving for fanfic. I've been reading a LOT on Masskink and I wanted to finally do a fill in order to give back.

This was awesome, really mature and SO GODDAMN HOT I DIED. Wonderfully written, and Garrus dirty-talking... Holy God. I think both my ovaries blew up.
And also, I love the way you write out the problem, it was a wonderfull read, especially after all of the "garrus waves his winky in front of Shep and she orgasms like never before" that plague fanfiction everywhere.
lol OP again

Ilu. I totally agree with you on your sentiments, and yes, I am one of those girlies who feel a bit hopeless about being able to come, much less with a partner. -__-

Thank you. Others posting comments already covered this idea... but being similar to femShep as she was in this well-written moving story myself... I too hope that there is a Garrus out there somewhere for me. This story is so well-done and so gentle with femShep's difficulty rather than putting it all on her. Garrus is wonderfully funny and determined in the best possible way. I like the hot 'n' heavy moments of much Garrus fic- but this one really was personal and moving.
