Foreplay is very nuanced. It can even be just rubbing the hands and build tension from it. So it’s like dancing where both partners dance together knowing each other’s moves. Then they both get primed and reach pleasure at the same time. One thing you can do is see where and how you focus and how your partner focuses.
A shortcut people take is rough sex. That isn’t foreplay when it’s just that but it can be on the side. Such stuff has both focus on a specific act. When one is on edge, their senses heightened and now are more sensitive which then heightens pleasure. So the partner creates ordeal to bring that edge in.
Foreplay however, maps out the senses and emotions and doesn’t need just that. This is why the dance is learned overtime. Each person is different and it takes time what they like and feel. Rough sex is a primal mechanism people use as a shortcut without knowing them that can be dangerous as they seek more pleasure.
Each person is different. There is the love languages as an example of archetypes. That is where one starts. I like to blend all together and weave it depending on the situation and mood. Knowing to do a massage makes the whole thing therapeutic too. So there are all kinds of avenues.
