I think cunnilingus is the noun. However, to fill in the sentence: This certificate entitles the bearer to 10(tongue lashings). ---

Didn’t we find that cunnilingue is the verb? it seems that if you’re saying that “cunnilingus” is (according to the title) a “specific sexual act”, then you’re already admitting that “cunnilingus” is the noun form… ---

hmm, I said that waiting for the link to the other thread to load. Keep in mind that > [@](#): > > Didn’t we find that cunnilingue is the verb was said w/o that knowledge. I think it sounds a bit snippy, but you guys might not even notice (and here I was thinking that I got to contribute something to a thread that hadn’t been said in it before… ) ---

No, no… all those except “tongue lashings” sound more like it’s worded as a gift to the cunnilinguist. If you want the gift to be romantic, include 10 individual coupons that each say something along the lines of “This certificate entitles the bearer to an evening of very intimate and selfish pleasure.” Believe me, that will work! ---
