As always SexyWriter, I like the way you think. You see people, what she is suggesting is in the intress of finding an answer to a question which we are all divided. That’s all. So I’ll bring a case of bottled water… ~t ---

Sorry but the fellators have it easier than the cunnilingerers. Much more ‘mission oriented’. Guys can get off dry humping the sheets after a sexy dream(for those nocturnal emissions). Swallow, throat, slow, fast. Doesn’t matter. Just rub the damn thing and the genie will come (unless numbnuts is too drunk). Good lord ladies are picky about getting eaten. Don’t. Stop. Don’t. Don’t. Stop. Oooooh! Don’t stop! There are tongue exercises I used to do detailed in the sacred ancient scrolls of “The Sensuous Man”. As to cleanliness: may I gross you out with imagery of little toilet paper balls and genuine cunt buggars (like from the nose only longer). Fortunately I was young and in love. For crying out loud wash that thing! I can appreciate some of the days sweat, a little musk is pheremonally attractive. But if at all crusty find a bidet. My favorite cunnilingus line from a movie: Dennis Hopper as the biker Feck in ‘River’s Edge’: “I ate so much pussy in those days my beard looked like a glazed doughnut!” ---

I’d have to go with those that say it depends on who you’re working on and what you’re working with. As a general rule, I have no problems getting the guys I’m going down on off. (In fact, my ex used to brag about my “skills” to his friends and I was a big hit during our swinging days) The women have been a little more difficult, but I think that’s more because I don’t have the practice with them that I do with the guys. What **I** always seem to have the hardest time with is 69… Trying to concentrate on two things at once, whether it be guy or girl… Just kinda lose what I’m doing every once in awhile… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by handy \* > \*\* > A guy can be straight & do both of these. First he can do cunnilingus on a woman & fellatio on himself & compare. Won’t say where i learned that one though. VBG \*\* …if only this was true, I’d never leave the house. Maybe for some men, but I’m just not that flexible. Can’t report on fellatio, but the difficulty of cunnilingus has always seemed to a function of how much she was enjoying it. On my current SO going down is a joy, but some girls are a lot harder to get off, and much more picky. Going down on a multi-orgasmic female is one of the great pleasures in life. I’ll have to get back to you on the fellatio. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Giraffe \* > \*\ ***dpr** said it. Fellatio is more physically challenging. Cunnilingus takes more skill and adaptability, IMO. \*\* absolutely… there’s a lot more physical activity in fellatio than cunnilingus, but you really need a good idea of what you’re doing with cunnilingus… any idiot can wrap her(his) lips around a penis and eventually make the guy reach some kind of an orgasm… but to make a woman really experience pleasure, that takes talent… and I don’t mean “wow that felt great” pleasure, I mean the kind of experience that can make a woman stop breathing, or make her pull the hair out of the back of your head in a writhing convolution of pleasure, or make her break the post off the bed frame… a bad b.j. is still pretty good, a good b.j. can make you really enjoy being a man (and skip a heartbeat or lose your breath if you’re lucky)… whereas bad cunilingus is pretty much pointless (except for the lubricant effect leading up to other sexual acts), and good cunnilingus can make her unable to breath/speak/move… part of it is the difference in male-vs-female orgasms… the best orgasm I could possibly experience will never even begin to measure up to the multiples of great orgasms my wife can have while I give her head… I wish I could feel (physically) what she feels while I pleasure her… oh well, atleast I can enjoy her pleasure on an emotional level (though I’m still envious of the physical aspects 🙂 ---

that’s good the distinction has been made. both have their challenges. but that’s what makes it fun, I suppose. I wish I could say it was just the technique used on me as far as cunnilingus goes (in the sense that it doesn’t really do anything for me), but I fear not. I’m in the dark on its powers. ---

With cunninglingus (a cunning linguist?) a person has to be able to hold their breath & get ready for the ride! hang on! Lucky I surf a lot & can hold my breath. It’s pretty handy! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-difficult-cunnilingus-or-fellatio/61746.md?page=1)
