  • Goin’ Down: Oral Sex Pointers From An Actual Female



    One of my personal dating criteria is that you must be willing to give and receive oral sex. That is not a topic easily discussed on a first date (although it would be helpful to weed out guys who just aren’t going to be able to satisfy me in that way), however I have been in a few rare situations where everything is going great (we like each other, we have fun, etc.), however once we get down to business, he reaches straight for the condoms (even though I have made it very clear what my needs are). I’m sorry, but for me cunnilingus is not a “perk,” it’s part of the standard. It’s just what needs to happen. I will admit, some guys are just inexperienced and maybe a little nervous about giving women oral sex, but I have met a few men who just don’t do it.

    That being said, I don’t ever recommend doing anything in the bedroom that you are not comfortable with. First of all, everyone is entitled to his or her boundaries, likes and dislikes. Part of being a healthy, sexually active adult is being aware of your limits, and being able to say “no.” But, I have certainly met straight men that simply assert that the idea of mouth to female genital contact is a little “gross.” Perhaps they’ve had bad experiences with taste, textures and scents of female genitals, but again, there are high individual differences between women, so don’t let one bad experience ruin a possibly enjoyable sexual encounter.

    For men who are simply a little intimidated, here are a few pointers:

    • Listen. I know it sounds cliché, but asking questions about her likes and dislikes and really listening to the answers can be both hot and informative.
    • Some women are reluctant to let men give them oral sex, because they are anxious about any possible aversive tastes or scents. Keep this in mind. If you enjoy what you taste, etc, let her know! This will relax her, and help her feel more open and trusting.
    • Female genitals are not on a completely different planet from male genitals. I’ve heard male friends of mine describe, “spelling the alphabet” with their tongues on the under parts of their lady friends. Maybe this works for some women I’ve never met, but erectile tissue pretty much just needs a steady (well lubricated) bit of methodical friction. In other words, changing what you are doing every 4 seconds is probably going to make it more difficult for her to climax. Find a nice spot, pace, etc, and stick with it for a while (until instructed otherwise).
    • Movie editing has pretty much conditioned us to believe that sex is supposed to be a quick montage where the woman achieves orgasm the moment you begin oral sex. Give her time, and let her know that she has all the time she needs. Strategically adjusted pillows under your chest can relieve any neck and shoulder pain that you may feel.
    • Obviously there are going to be high individual differences between women, but the upper left quadrant of the clitoris (from her perspective) is generally very sensitive in most women (this is not true for all women).
    • Here is a small guide that I love with some more detailed pointers, suggestions and encouragement: http://www.guys.clitical.com/better-cunnilingus.php

    How do you feel about cunnilingus? Is it something that you aren’t comfortable doing? Or do you LOVE it? If so, comment, and let me know why!
