Inspired (or at least reluctantly intrigued) by this thread: Married Men: Are you still getting BJs?, I thought we needed to hear some data from the other side of the equation. And yes, I mean by your spouse.
I’ll avoid getting overly graphic, but I will speak for the Mrs. by saying that yes, she is. And she’s happy with the frequency.
(Apologies if this topic was already covered recently, my search turned up no such thread)
As with fellatio, no teeth! Pay attention to the nub at the top of the slot, albeit gently. And most women are pretty good at feedback, but sometimes you have to encourage them and/or interpret.
Use a dental dam unless the receiving party has been tested for STDs. Oral sex is still sex.
If you run out of breath and/or get your face all sloppy wet, don’t sit up and make a big gasping noise while wiping your face with the back of your hand as if you just got done holding your breath for 5 minutes while bobbing for apples in a vat of goo. My first boyfriend did this to me and it horrified me, turning me off of receiving oral for the rest of my life.
Don’t worry, I do realize that he was and is the world’s biggest idiot and real men can enjoy giving oral or at least be tender about it. But it still squicks me out.
I also think some guys expect to do a few licks then get some wild orgasm out of the woman and then it’s back to doing something else. Let the lady just sit back and enjoy it for however long she wants to enjoy it, dammit. Don’t just chomp away harder.
Damn it! Seems like they just keep getting in the way. They match a lot of the clothes I own though.
Seriously though, thanks for the pointers. Anything above Basic Level Strategy though? I am not a complete n00b at it, so I’m comfortable in that, area. I have a little more grace than to come up for air and wiping my face down like I almost drowned. So I don’t need to be tought manners/etiquette.
I’m looking more for Intermediate Strategy tips? Something to take the basics up a notch, ya know?
I’m a married man who loves to give my wife of 27 years head.
My tips?
Like good fellatio, it’s not just the lips and tongue. Use your fingers and thumbs as well, stroking her labia at the same time you’re licking her clitoris, or vis-versa. It’s pretty basic, but avoid touching her labia or clitoris dry when you first get started - wet your fingers.
If you’re going to indulge in any anal insertion, pick one hand or digit for that and use only that one. If she’s freshly showered, analingus can, in my personal experience, produce some truly astounding orgasms, especially if you combine it with stimulating the clitoris with your thumb. But if you’re planning to lick, don’t insert your fingers or thumb beforehand.
Other than that, enjoy it. Far too many women are intensely self-conscious about their bodies like **ZipperJJ’**s story (sorry your first was an idiot) and can lose their ability to receive pleasure.
If the woman pulls back that DOES NOT MEAN PURSUE AND DO IT HARDER!!!
Seriously, this is the BIGGEST mistake men make. If she pulls back YOU pull back, then gently approach the target again. If she’s retreating from you it’s because you’re doing it too hard/too intensely.
If the woman wants more, or wants a more intense stimulation, she will generally smoosh her crotch into your face. (I’m sorry, was that too explicit?) Start gently. She won’t want heavy stimulation until she’s already aroused.
I never saw it mentioned before (i’m not married, no contribution to the poll) but about giving head: Spoiler for TMI maybe
[spoiler]
Have anyone tried (that their receiving partner is a woman) the following (maybe try it on her nipples first):
Hold the nub between your lips (gently, it is supposed to be able to ‘escape’)
Make sure lips are wet, or the nub is far enough inside the lips where the wetness is, (or imagine your lips pursed in a sloppy kiss gesture)
Do not let your teeth come in contact with partner,
Move lips (or your head) slowly in a side to side motion (as in non-verbal No)
the trick is that it’s your lips that move but your partner’s nub stays put. Vary firmness of lips to partner’s response.[/spoiler]
The techniques I’ve seen in porn movies don’t translate into real life for me. Holding the labia wide open and doing a rather harsh flick of the tongue over the clitoris is a no-no. The clitoris is extremely sensitive when a woman is aroused, and stimulation on either side with the mouth and tongue is lovely. You can slide your tongue into the vagina. Move around and explore the whole vulva. If she has public hair, play with it. Everything from light licks to gentle sucking is wonderful. Stop and tease by kissing and caressing the inner thighs. When she makes sounds of pleasure, that’s a cue that you’re doing well, and keep doing that. Pulling back means “ow!”, so lighten it up. No teeth has been covered. When she’s close and needs to come, I think my husband gently sucks the whole clitoris into his mouth, but I’m not sure. It’s all lost in swirling sensation.
When she clamps her thighs rigidly around your head and holds you prisoner while raggedly shouting DO NOT STOP! Well, that’s an ace job, sir. You can breathe when she’s finished coming, and no one’s really broken a male skull with just a pair of excited thighs.
