For many women, clitoral stimulation is a necessity for orgasm. While there are certainly ways to incorporate that into penetrative sex, cunnilingus is a great way to give your partner an astounding experience via gentle attention to her clitoris—and its 8,000 + nerve endings. Cunnilingus is a way to connect with your partner and focus on her feelings, the reward from which may astound you. |
Ensure that her consent is the most important thing to gain before engaging in any sexual activity: “Make sure that you have discussed this in advance that the partner wants this to happen, and they are enthusiastically looking forward to enjoying this activity with you.” So if you’re ready to go down there, here’s everything you need to know about cunnilingus, from the best positions to giving your partner an unforgettable good time.
Do not let your previous experience dictate your expectations of her body
First, know that every vulva and clitoris is a little different. Do not let your previous experience dictate your expectations of her body. Do not be surprised if the labia or clitoris looks different from any others you may have seen. The size and sensitivity of the clitoris differ as does the position of the vulva, whether front-facing or back-facing, other actions and functions might feel good.
Your partner’s vulva will likely taste different, it could be slightly sharp, sweet, musky, or acidic but typically fresh. If the odour is particularly fishy that may be an indication it could be a sign of an infection but generally, its smell is perfectly healthy.
It’s a vulva, and there’s going to be a scent, many women are socialised to be concerned and worry about how they smell or taste down there. When performing cunnilingus, you must be extremely sensitive to a woman’s concern about how she smells, as this may well be the balancing point between success and disappointment.
STI or UTI?
Speaking of healthy vaginas, do not let your partner worry about douching! Washing the vagina can disrupt its natural bacteria and even cause micro-tears that could increase her and your risk of contracting an STI or UTI. Washing the external areas with soap and water is all that is needed vulva. The interior of the Virgina is magical in that it is both self-cleaning and lubricating.
What position you adopt depends on how new you are new to giving or receiving cunnilingus. A tried-and-true position is where the lady lies on her back with the giver either on their knees at the end of the bed or on their belly, depending on the giver’s agility and size.
Depending on the shape and positioning of the lady’s vulva, it may help to slide a pillow or wedge under her bottom to angle her hips upwards, making her more readily available to her partner’s attention.
Once you’re both in a vigorous frame, you probably don’t want to head straight for their vulva. (Unless, of course, that’s something they’re into—no shame.) The clitoris is extremely sensitive, so applying tongue pressure can be too much, too soon. Instead, “work your way [down] there. It’s good to take your time,” Brito says. “Enjoy their body, focusing on non-genital areas first, and show appreciation and care.”
Many women are sensitive to exposure and feel vulnerable
Cunnilingus is all about creating intimacy and trust, feeling good, and making your partner feel super good. So before you even head to the bedroom, try to create a relaxing atmosphere. In many situations, men must remember that many women are sensitive to exposure and feel vulnerable. So enjoy their body, focusing on non-genital areas first to show appreciation and care.
Once you are both relaxed and showing desire, it’s time to increase the pace and let your mouth, hands and tongue head south, exploring every facet whilst letting her know of your appreciation of her. If you sense your partner might feel vulnerable, tell them how good they taste, feel, and look and how turned on you are.
“Especially if you know your partner might feel vulnerable, feel free to tell them how good they taste, feel, and look and how turned on you are. Some light moans will help confirm your excitement.”
Once you reach that final objective, the clitoris, remember that this is the most sensitive part of her body, go slowly and pay the rest of the sexual organ attention too. As a guy, you might not be accustomed to how long it could take a woman to climax from oral sex. Do not get frustrated, it may take you a little longer than anticipated but she will know if you see this as just a chore instead of something you love and enjoy doing. She will know, and if you spend that energy with enthusiasm, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest expectations, try and see!
