Week 3 — Tempo Matching
Lead / follow switches
Adults 18+. Consent-first. Either partner can abort with zero penalty. Not a performance review of desire. Print or share this URL.
Roles
Inserting / receiving / either — not gendered.
Inserting. When you lead, be followable. When you follow, match — do not secretly speed up.
Receiving. You lead at least half the sets. Lead is a skill, not a personality.
Either. Timer calls the switch. No debate. Either person can pause and redirect.
Warm-up · 8 min, clothed ok
Eight minutes clothed or light contact. Breath match, boundary refresh, pick a count or metronome.
Signals
Slow / more / stop stay in play mid-set. A pause resumes at the agreed tempo, not faster. Keep 1–10 live.
RPE budget
RPE 5. If someone is performing, drop one RPE. Performing is a fault.
Abort rule
Either partner can abort with zero penalty. A random pause by either is a successful drill, not a mood.
This week's drill
Four short tempo sets with a leader switch each time, plus three pause-and-redirects that resume cleanly.
Aftercare
Ten minutes aftercare. Debrief energy / connection / adjust — no scorekeeping.
Next week
Week 4 is feedback loops — in-session and post-session. Data, not a verdict.
Educational athletic framing for adults 18+ — not medical or therapeutic advice. The session player stays behind Premium; this 1-pager does not unlock it.
