There is a new show I just watched called Love At First Kiss. You should check it out. It's hilarious!

There's this one guy who is 27 and has never kissed before. They set him up with a girl and they are supposed to kiss upon first seeing each other. He has no idea what to do and it is the most awkward thing in the world. He has a woman eventually help him learn how to kiss. They pick apart the movements of what he did that was terrible to what the woman told him to do.

This is like what I have lived through. Only it has taken 20 years of awkward and horrible!

I admit my part in it. I am ticklish and hate being tickled. It started with me reacting to him unintentionally tickling me with his touch. When I addressed that, his touch became overcompensatingly firm, no good either.

And this sent us down the road to this severe extreme.

So, in answer to your question, yes, if he could have just done the few things I absolutely needed, we would have been great.
