Wow. I was told to check out this thread. Now I see why. How did I miss this??? :eek: re: the OP. As long as it takes, as so many have already said. Not much I can add there, except to say that if I were single, Tibs and Thinksnow would be getting emails from me! Oh, and Dire Wolf, evilbeth? Maybe Mr Bear might volunteer to help me help you with your research. Won’t you dear? 😉 One last thing. Zen, my dear. I’m a _very_ curious person. I have been trying to figure out what exactly you’re supposed to do, and how, with the Halls. Would you please explain? And, in as much detail as you wish. You have me intrigued. Btw, how did you discover this thing with the Halls? ---

\>\>One last thing. Zen, my dear. I’m a very curious person. I have been trying to figure out what exactly you’re supposed to do, and how, with the Halls. Would you please explain? And, in as much detail as you wish. You have me intrigued. Enjoy a Halls Mentholyptus coughdrop in the usual way. Perform oral sex immediately. It’s common lore. I’ve never tried it, either giving or receiving, but it seems plausible - they sure do something to my tongue, and here’s tissue very similar to a tongue. The question for me is, is it pleasurable? I don’t think I’d enjoy that sensation down there. BTW, if you were using the question to Zen as a pickup line, please excuse this intrusion. My wife tells me I’m terrible at reading between the lines. ---

So who says the clit has to be the sole beneficiary? At the outset, anyway, I find licking the outer lips and inner thighs, especially the spot where the leg meets hip, to be a lot of fun, for both parties involved. Shivers of anticipation and whatnot. For those that cant figure it out, I definetly enjoy giving. A lot. Never understood guys who didnt… it’s such fun! ---

I was intrigued, and wanted some more info, that’s all. Maybe Mr Bear and I will try it, maybe not. I haven’t decided yet. 😛 Oh, and Mnementh? Two things: 1. Have you met Mr Bear? Mr Bear, meet Mnementh. Mnementh, meet Mr Bear. 😉 😃 and 2. Are you an Anne McCaffrey fan by any chance? 🙂 ---

Actually, there’s also quite the urban legend surrounding sucking on an Altoids lozenge ( you know, it’s really minty) and then performing oral sex. Haven’t tried that one yet. ---

Are you an Anne McCaffrey fan by any chance? 🙂 \*\* Having read the post about you _from_ Mr Bear, I’d say Mr Bear has no need of meeting me in the near future (have fun, btw! :D) And yeah, you could say that. Though that was a while ago and I’ve disassociated myself from the Draconic character quite a bit, I still think the name suits me. It always surprises me to see how many people recognize it on the 'net, most people I know cant even pronounce it, even if I say it first… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-long-must-i-lick-a-clit/47738.md?page=4)
