A couple can do mutual masturbation and put on "shows" for each other during foreplay all they want.
As long as he doesn't "get there." She can, as many times as she can/wants, but if he does it's a horrible "sin."
You are correct. Since every sex act has to be "ordered to procreation" (not to be confused with intending procreation), the man should always try to finish inside his wife. Of course, if it happens outside by accident, it's not a problem.

I don't know how old you are but that "intrinsic relationship to the procreation of human life" does not mean vibrators and blow jobs. Those are apparently only acceptable inside the rectory or convent.
Don't forget you are speaking to a devout Catholic herself.

All that was meant by that phrase was that we should not contracept. There are no "restrictions" on what we can and cannot do (and use) during foreplay leading up to intercourse. Vibrators are not against Church teaching.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
