Ladies, how did you bring up wanting more foreplay in a respectful way?

Curious how y’all bring up wanting more pre-sex connection and foreplay with your partner — especially without it turning awkward or defensive. I honestly thought I was the only one feeling this way until I read a piece that broke it all down. It really helped me see how often the the importance of foreplay gets overlooked, even when women are left feeling disconnected.

Just sharing in case someone else is silently struggling with the same thing.
