5 Oral Sex Tips You Should Try

One of the first oral sex tips that most of you ever read– most probably from a magazine, is to put a peppermint sweet in your mouth before going down on a lady because that cooling effect drives us wild—and I am here to tell you that the one time someone did it, IT WORKED.?

But before you start raiding the candy aisle, let's remember that every person is unique, and what works for one might not work for another.

So, while the peppermint idea may have had its moment of glory, it's essential to understand how to give oral sex without cutting corners.?

How to Have Oral Sex

When it comes to oral sex, whether you're diving into fellatio, cunnilingus, or even exploring analingus (hey, no judgment here), there are a few key things to keep in mind:

• Communication
• The approach
• The build-up?
• Rhythm
• Consistency.

Now, the clitoris is the crown pleasure– a home to thousands of nerve endings, making it the ultimate pleasure center.?

Nestled at the top of the labia minora, the clitoral hood protects the sacred spot that can feel like a tantalizing pinpoint when arousal kicks in.

As we all know the clitoris is incredibly sensitive. Even the slightest difference in speed or pressure can turn a good experience into something mind-blowing.?

But, let's not forget about the rest of the vulva. The entire region is a playground of delight regarding oral stimulation.?

So, is there a correct way of giving oral sex?

Well, the short and sweet answer is a NO. When it comes to matters of sex, it all boils down to individual preferences and desires.

Everyone's tastes and sensations are beautifully unique. What might send one person into a state of bliss could have a completely different effect on another.?

So, discard any notion of a "correct" way to approach oral sex. Instead, try embracing the tips below, explore, be open-minded, and you’ll thank me later.

The Best 5 Oral Sex Tips

Now grab your notepad, and let’s dive into the best oral sex tips.

Communication

Talk to your partner about their desires, preferences, and any boundaries they might have. Create a comfortable and consensual space where both parties can express their needs and desires.

The most crucial step is to figure out what your partner likes.

The Approach?

Building up the anticipation is just as thrilling as the sex itself. So, don't rush into things like a bull in a china shop.?

Instead, start from the outside and work your way in.?

Start licking your partner over their underwear in wide, flat strokes. The indirect touching and hot breath on your partner will get them going.

Next, help your partner lose their pants and run your tongue along their labia (the inner and outer folds of their vulva) to spark arousal and boost blood flow to their clitoris, making every next touch feel more toe-curling.

Remember to be attentive to your partner's cues and reactions.?

The Build-up: Avoid Rushing?

As sexologist Sadie Allison, the brilliant mind behind Tickle Kitty, suggests, many men tend to go too fast and hard. Instead, a more delicate approach brings heightened pleasure.

Most women like the experience of ramping up with incredibly soft licking from a flat tongue, which covers a lot of surface area, but very gently.?

Use the same amount of pressure you’d use to lick ice cream that’s dripping down a cone lightly. You can work your way up from here.

Find Rythm

Begin by exploring different patterns and movements with your tongue, lips, and fingers.

According to a study, women are particularly fond of three key touching techniques down there:? rhythmic motion

• Repeated rhythmic motion

• Circling around the clitoris,?
• Seamlessly transitioning between different strokes, such as circular movements, up-and-down motions, and back again.

Pay attention to your partner's responses and cues. You gotta find a balance between listening to their body and allowing your own intuition to guide you.

Now create an intense and electrifying grand finale, by focusing on the clitoris using the tongue.?

As you engage, notice the subtle shifts in their breathing, the moans of delight, and the arching of their hips.?

These are the clues that will lead you to the perfect rhythm. Adapt your pace, pressure, and movements accordingly, syncing them with their responses until they climax!

Challenge Yourself to New Oral Positions

Explore these oral positions to ignite fiery passion between you and your partner.?

The "Exquisite 69"

For a sizzling twist on the classic 69 position, lie on your sides, facing each other and perfectly aligning your mouths and delicate regions.?

Open the gates of desire: Part your legs, granting your partner access to rest their head on your inner thigh as they show you their oral moves and vice versa.?

The "Passionate Perch"

Sit atop a surface of your choice, such as a chair or countertop, while you kneel before your partner.

This position grants you a commanding view and a great opportunity to lavish your partner with your oral prowess.

The “Wet and Wild”?

A steamy encounter in the shower. After sensual rubdown in the shower, let your partner prop one foot on the tub's edge, a shower bench, or even your shoulder as you kneel before them.

As the water gently caresses their skin, let skilled mouth comes into play.

Combining your passionate licks and the sensation of water running along their clitoris will elevate their pleasure to the next level.

Can You Get STIs From Oral Sex?

Yes, it is possible to contract Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) through oral sex.?

While the risk may be lower compared to other sexual activities, it is not completely without risk.

STIs can be transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as semen, vaginal fluids, or blood.

Some STIs that can be transmitted through oral sex include:

• Gonorrhea
• Syphilis
• Herpes
• Chlamydia
• HPV
• HIV

Using a dental dam during oral sex effectively reduces the risk of transmitting STIs.

A dental dam is a thin latex or polyurethane barrier that can be placed over the vulva or anus to create a protective barrier between the mouth and the genital area.

To use a dental dam, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the dental dam is intact and hasn't expired. Avoid using a damaged or expired dental dam.
2. Open the dental dam package carefully, avoiding sharp objects that could puncture or tear it.
3. Place the dental dam flat against the area you'll be stimulating; the vulva or anus.
4. You can now lick, suck, or engage in other forms of oral stimulation while the dental dam provides a barrier.

If a dental dam is not readily available, you can create a barrier using a non-microwavable plastic wrap or a cut-open condom.
