The Lowdown: You are excited to learn and master the skills and tricks of creating pleasure. Like picking a lock or crafting a watch, you pay attention to specific details in perfecting your partners’ physical and emotional experience.
The Partner’s Job: When you are with a Technician, your main job is to pay attention to your own body and be sensitive yourself to what feels good so you can provide your partner specific feedback.

* We also recorded data from Americans who identified as pansexual, asexual, and (separately) nonbinary, but each of these identifications was so small as to be less than half of our margin of error, so we’re not including this data due to the potential for misrepresenting their views.

What TECHNICIANs fantasize about:
“I learned a new trick with eating pussy, insert two fingers while flicking your tongue on the clitoris, start rubbing upwards with the two fingers as you simultaneously start flicking your tongue faster. I mastered this before trying in real life. Instant cum in your mouth.”
- Technician, to us (25, Man, Heterosexual, Insurance)
“I'd lay her down and as I ate her pussy, I'd listen to her body, to the noises she's making, this is how I know I am hitting all of the right spots.”
- Technician, to us (38, Woman, Bisexual, Medical Claims Analyst)
“I like to try new things to see if my partner likes it. If I see she does, I stick to it. [I want] to master it to give her the best pleasure possible.”

Coaching from TECHNICIANS
• Invest time in understanding your own pleasure • Provide coaching on what feels good and what doesn't • Relax your expectations, allow space to learn together •
“I would encourage them to verbally tell me how I am doing in pleasing them. Where I need to go farther. Where I need to stop and go a different direction.”
- Technician, to us (75, Man, Heterosexual)
“First, and most importantly, forget anything and everything you think of sex in common parlance. That is not what’s happening here. This will be a collaboration and investigation of electromagnetism and communication via any form. Nothing should be left unsaid, unasked, undone if we find our way to it.”
- Technician, to us (44, Woman, Asexual, Design Director)
“The very best advice I'd give is to always listen to your partner's body, it says everything you need to know about how to please them. I'd also say to, and this applies to all the lesbians, I'd say to do to your partner what you like to have done to you. It works every time.”
- Technician, to us (38, Woman, Bisexual, Medical Claims Analyst)
Steal a trick
Value-neutral adjustments
Feedback is the lifeblood of a technician, but many people worry about criticizing their partner. Try “value-neutral” adjustments. Rather than saying “I don’t like that,” experiment with giving active statements on what to do like: “faster,” “slower,” “more to the right,” “more to the left,” “flick your tongue up,” “deeper,” etc. Allow yourself to experiment; you won’t always know what works till you try it.
Watchouts
Avoid the following:
1. Fear around giving any feedback
2. Leaning too hard into criticism
3. Having patience for failures and learning curves
