Proper Fingernail Etiquette.

Many people seem to be confused when it comes to the different ways to scratch someone. Many think that one way is just as good as another. There are, however, several different methods to using your fingernails, and each person is different, so it really pays to know how the scratching post prefers their passion.
First rule is that nobody, at least not that I have ever met, likes jagged, unkempt nails or hangnails. So trim them up nice and smooth like. If you want to please your recipient take the time to properly groom yourself. This holds true in almost every situation and scratching is no different.
When grooming your nails for someone, know whether they prefer sharp nails or dull nails. There is a big difference in sensation when it comes to the sharpness of one's nails. Using sharp nails on someone that prefers dullness will most likely result in pain that the recipient will not like, and quite possibly not want you to do it anymore. On the flip side of that coin, using dull nails on someone that prefers a sharp, cutting sensation may lead to an under-stimulating experience.
There are three different ways of scratching:

Clawing: To give a better description of this type, imagine the old cartoons in which a cat was scared and clung to the ceiling. This is most passionate when in the missionary, or any front facing position. It is simply digging your claws into the flesh. Be sure to know how hard your partner likes for you to dig. Some just want the feeling of "I could hurt you if I wanted to", and some, such as myself, prefer for blood to be drawn. If you can claw hard enough to break a fingernail, congratulations you just made my top ten list! Only one woman has managed to do that, but according to her that was more of my doing. BTW, you are welcome.
Raking: There are five steps to this method:
1) Brandish your weapons. This is where the sharp vs. dull comes into play the most.
2) Targeting: Thoughtfully choose your target area. There's nothing pleasant about being raked in an area that isn't pleasurable to the recipient. You shouldn't just look at your quarry and decide that you're going to rip open their taint when they just wanted you to take care of the itch on their back. Which brings us to numbers 3 & 4.
3) The raking: Start as if you are going for the "clawing" method. Again, know your partner and how much force he/she enjoys. Too much and it becomes a painful unpleasant experience, too little it is unsatisfying.
4) Know your speed limit: Some prefer slow and steady, not like trying to pull a tablecloth from under fine china. However, some prefer the feeling of being ripped to shreds by a pack of rabid Siamese tomcats. I, personally, prefer the former.
5) Enjoy your handiwork: Pretty self explanatory, at least for most.

Petting: Yes, this is very much like what you would do to your or cat, or platypus if that's what you have. Typically a light scratching on sensitive parts of the body such as the back, inner thigh (one of my favorites), and the lower abdomen (my "Holy Fuck I'm Not Even Having Sex And I Just Might Shoot My Load!" Spot). The lower abdomen = very nice. To give you a better idea of the purpose of the "petting" method, this is the exact reason we men are always scratching our balls. Not necessarily because they itch, but because it feels GREAT! And it feels even better when someone else does it, as long as the other person remembers about the speed and pressure.
I believe that everyone would love scratching if done properly. It is a most sensual connection that can take multiple forms, and provide many types of release. It can be simple and friendly, it can be erotic and enticing, it can be playful and fun, or it can be relaxing and soothing. It can start a night off in the right direction, or it can end an encounter with a delicious conclusion. But if not done properly it can simply end a rendezvous at just the wrong moment.
If you are unsure of what method your partner(s) prefer(s), ask. If you don't want to ruin the experience by sounding inexperienced, or if your partner(s) is/are unsure themselves, the petting method is a perfect starting point. It's the one that truly can't miss.
