How important is it to make your partner cum before you? I always have to make sure my girlfriend cums at least 3 times before I even think about trying to cum myself. 3 is my bare bones minimal, but I like to make her cum more than that if there is time.
As one gets more mature, "O's" are possibly less important. It is the intimacy that matters, and an "O" is a wonderful adjunct, but not necessarily critical. Of course going solo, it's the whole point, but I don't think that was the gist of the question.
Because I've always been the one who initiates sex, I usually get her aroused first or turned on, but sometimes I get her to stimulate me & then whatever happens after that, both of us are going to cum sometime.
Of course I make her cum before I do (or both at the same time), because she is capable of multiple orgasms one after other, while myself cumming as a guy means we need to stop or at least take a break. That being said, I used to try and fuck my gf really thoroughly and make her cum at least 10 times to try to impress her, but she started complaining about getting sore too often so now I settle for less. My cock is big enough for her tight pussy and sometimes it seems perfectly enough if I just fuck her really good until she starts orgasming for the first time and then release my load in the same, because nothing beats cumming at the same time. Her convulsions suck the semen up into her uterus, and she loves to keep it inside her.
I have found that with me and my girlfriend that the older we get the more intense the orgasms are... I can feel her orgasm begin and she whispers "help me, help me" and her vagina begins to gyrate and suck on me til I cum with her which brings on her grand orgasm where her pelvic and vagina go into massive pulsations and draws my fluid deep into her...
is it very important but i dont count how many times she has to cum before me.. I try to hold on as long as possible and try to make her orgasms as much times as possible.. than i let go my explosion.. usually is she that decide when she wants me to cum
