CLIMBING THE LADDER TO SEXUAL CLIMAX:

During sexual intercourse, do both of you climax at the same time or its only the husband satisfying himself and leaving his wife unsatisfied? Paul tells Christian married couples to “stop depriving one another” of satisfying sex (1 Cor. 7:5). Moreover, the Song of Solomon will make most people blush. Solomon tells his lover, “Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit” Song 7:7. Then he writes, “I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its branches. Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine, The fragrance of your breath like apples, 9 And the roof of your mouth like the best wine". Song 7:8-9 The wife responded, "The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of sleepers". 

Solomon depicts the woman’s stature as a “Palm Tree with Clusters of Fruit”. How do you climb a Palm Tree. Climbing a palm tree is relatively simple when you know what to do. It takes skill to climb a Palm tree. If you climb too fast, there is tendency you might fall. That means, if a man rush in intercourse, he will release too quickly and then his body becomes weak and he fall asleep, leaving the wife longing for a climax. Therefore, in sexual intercourse, the husband is to spend more time caressing his wife (climbing the palm tree) and keep going until he reaches the climax where he lay hold on her breasts. Her breasts is like clusters of the vine, when pressed, all the sexual juices will come out. And that is the right moment for copulation.

The husband stimulates the wife's clitoris and vulva and the wife strokes the husband's penis. This may be done alternately or simultaneously until both reach orgasm. The wife may enjoy her nipples being kissed, licked or sucked while the husband is fondling her vulva. [Careful, husbands: sometimes less is more. Wives: let him know what feels good to you.]

Solomon said, "Your stature is like a palm tree and your breasts are like its clusters" Song 7:7. She has an admirable body. To look upon the clusters of the palm causes the beholder to want to taste them. This simile of subjective response, then, suggests Solomon's desire to kiss and suck her breasts, but he has to start kissing from her legs, the vulva and to the waist , then finally to the breasts before inserting his penis in her vagina. Here is the description of what happen when couples are on bed, "His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me" Song 2: 6. Wow, while his mouth was busy with sucking her breasts, his hands was going through her entire body and gently touching her clitoris until she reach her climax, then she ask him to enter her juicy vagina. 

To "climb the palm tree" had a special meaning. In the Ancient Near East the artificial fertilization of the female palm tree flowers by the male palm tree flowers has been practiced from earliest times. The male and female flowers are born on separate trees in clusters among the leaves. In order to fertilize the female tree, one must climb the male tree and get some of its flowers. One then ascends the female tree and ties among its flowers a bunch of the pollen-bearing male flowers. Thus, to climb the palm tree is to fertilize it. Solomon 's using some contemporary language of the vineyard to say he intends to make love to his wife right away!

Solomon says he will caress her fruit stalks - her breasts. Now he changes images from palms to grape clusters for breasts, which seems more appropriate. Grapes swell and become increasingly round and elastic as they ripen, similar to the female breasts when sexually aroused. Solomon and his wife enjoy making love all night long (Song 2:17).
