sunday-themed character asks
🩷 Orgasm - What does it take for them to orgasm? What do their orgasms usually look like/how obvious are they? Do they need to orgasm to feel like a sexual encounter was successful, or good?
ㅤStarting from the end, an orgasm is not necessarily mandatory nor does it always imply that a sexual encounter was successful/good, in Itachi's opinion. It's more like a cherry on top of the cake, so to speak: if the relationship is meaningful, then intimacy will ensue naturally and so will its climax (pun semi-intended). It's not something that you should rush towards or take it for a proof of something, because it will naturally happen at some point if you know your partner and they know you. And, even if it doesn't happen for whatever motive, that's no tragedy either. Reducing intimacy to a moment that lasts for a few seconds is something that doesn't really make sense to him.
ㅤAs for what does it take... it's not too complicated to bring him to the edge. Despite how stoic he usually is, Itachi is not someone who actively tries to resist it for the sake of pride or anything of the like — in fact, the feeling of being with someone he can fully trust to completely take control away from him and lead him to "lose" himself is an aphrodisiac in itself. Yes, please make me turn to putty in your hands, I trust you completely, thank you.
ㅤThere's the obvious things, of course, like touching and stimulating his sensitive spots (mainly, the neck and his sides and the small of his back). He also has a soft spot for hearing words of praise may or may not have a bit of a praise kink which is the only useful thing his pathological perfectionism has ever done for him. And, whereas he kind of hates it, at the same time he loves a good tease. Hates it in the sense that only HE should be allowed to tease his partner, the audacity/how dare, and loves it because, again, it loops back into being with someone who knows him so well they are able to play him like a fiddle like this. Someone who knows his weakest spots and will take advantage of them without ever making him feel unsafe. Trusting someone enough to submit to them in such a way always leads to the best orgasms.
ㅤFinally, in experiencing and expressing an orgasm, Itachi isn't too over the top. He's not really someone to scream until the neighbors can hear it or someone who will bounce so much the bed breaks. He's a naturally serene soul and it shows in this as well. No need to make a scene, what's important for him is that his partner can witness it and know that they were the one responsible for bringing him to such state. Itachi is naturally pale, due to his health condition, so he blushes rather easily and it really shows in moments like this. He's gonna be having them pink, warm cheeks for a while even after things are done. Same thing for bruises and love marks (which, mind you, he loves to wear). And also, courtesy of that same chronic condition, his blood circulation is a disgrace, which means wobbly legs after sex happen very often. Don't ever let him get up from bed (or whatever surface shenanigans were made on) immediately after, unless you're willing and prepared to catch him. Itachi is one of those persons who look unfairly pretty in their fucked-out state and he makes it very obvious and very satisfying for a partner to see how much of a hot mess they made out of him~
🧡 Masturbation - What is their opinion on self pleasuring? Do they do it? Would they enjoy watching a partner do it?
ㅤIt's not really a big thing for Itachi. Having always been way too mature for his age, it also meant that he has been dealing with a lot of responsibilities and duties from a very young age — which in turn means not much time to explore or indulge in this kind of thing. Even if it wasn't for this, though, masturbation doesn't really mean much for him because, to Itachi, intimacy is only truly worth it if it's with a meaningful partner. So, a hand doesn't really quality, even though it can be a true savior sometimes.
ㅤOn the other hand... (pun again semi-intended) one way to make this incredibly erotic would be to masturbate for a partner/watch the partner masturbate. This he would gladly do, either or. Could even have the kinkiness cranked up to eleven by, for example, having one partner be bound and unable to do much while the other touches themself. Creativity is always endless!
💛 Research - Do they like reading/watching/viewing any kind of pornography or erotic work? What kinds do they enjoy, if so?
(tagging @panelborn who also sent this one)
ㅤThis is kinda the same thing as with masturbation. Pornography doesn't really mean much to Itachi, not because he is against it or considers it immoral or anything of the like, but rather because, by itself, it feels very shallow to him. There's no bond, there's no meaningful partner, it can be artsy and tasteful but it doesn't tick his boxes. Actually, he is that person who would sooner read the Kama Sutra, for example, out of genuine curiosity and wanting to study it instead of doing it for the sake of lewd things. Who needs models in a magazine or a movie when your partner is already the most beautiful and most arousing person in the entire world in your opinion? It's not something that he would judge others for enjoying, it's none of his business and more power to them, but it's not for him.
💚 Foreplay - What do they consider foreplay? Do they enjoy it, and how much will they tolerate?
(tagging @formaberserkir who also sent this one)
ㅤItachi absolutely LOVES foreplay! It's one of his favorite parts during intimacy. It ties back into some things I mentioned above, for the "Orgasm" prompt, especially the part about teasing — usually at a lesser level, since by definition foreplay means that things are just getting started and there's not much "urging" just yet. One of his favorite things to do is body worship, let him take his sweet time and appreciate and love and touch and kiss and suck and bite his partner's whole body, from top to bottom and then back up again. Also, little kinks such as light bondage or temperature play can add wonders to this stage. No need to rush, orgasm will happen when it has to, for now let's explore and enjoy all these sensations together and let blood rush out of our brain and then gradually revert to normal because we still have so much ahead of us. Foreplay is also always a perfect excuse for kisses, which is something Itachi will never say no to. Give this man all the kisses.
ㅤAnd also — foreplay doesn't have to be one single category of things nor does it have to always follow the same rules. On the contrary, let's innovate. Let's do whatever makes sense at the moment and whatever we are craving. Sometimes, it's just some sweet soft kissing and hand holding and intense cuddles that lead to slow, lazy, perfect sex. And, sometimes, it's smack me against this wall and attack my neck till it's covered in hickies and eat me out and/or let me eat you out until we both cum and then we rinse and repeat and then we move on to fuck like rabbits because we are both dying for each other and we can't handle this anymore. Both are so valid, as is everything in-between~
💙 Aftercare - How important to them is it? What kind of aftercare would they get the most gratification from, if any?
(tagging @formaberserkir who also sent this one)
ㅤVery important! Aftercare marks the difference between fucking and making love, between casual someone you grabbed for a one-night stand and the love of your life you want to spend forever with. It's in the name: if you care for the person you are being intimate with, you will want to (after)care for them. Itachi, in fact, is a giver. He loves to spoil his partner and to provide acts of service, and aftercare is surely included in this. Let him gently clean you up, let him bring you water and some snacks in bed, let him brush your hair and bring you clean and comfy clothes, let him kiss you all over and tell you how amazing that just was.
ㅤAnd, in reverse, he always loves having it done to him. There isn't one single thing in particular that is his favorite, but it's always incredibly heartwarming to him when aftercare includes care related to issues that come with his chronic condition. A bit like what I mentioned above, in the "Orgasm" prompt. Simple things such as making sure he's stable before getting out of bed, keeping an eye on him for some time longer, wrapping him in a fluffy blanket if it's a cold day. And, like I mentioned for that prompt and even though he'd never admit to it, gratifying aftercare should also include letting him know how perfect he looks after you've had your way with him and turned him into a puddle of goo~
