Well, if it’ll make you feel better, I, for one, never ever ever ever ever think about the sports pages.

However, I DO think about the computer advertisements that are often on the back of the sports pages… mmmmm… 256 megs of RAM, $99…

[raises hand] I do, I do! My best friend (who is female, and with whom I’ve never had sex with) has explained, in detail, exactly what is needed to save the inner lips and such. And I’ve seen her handiwork… she’s quite bald. No stubble at all. She’s been shaving herself for years.

And, just 'tween you and me (and everyone else who reads this), it ain’t exactly a walk in the park to shave testicles, either.

True- and yet, it’s arousing to gaze upon, sometimes. At the other end of the visual stimulii spectrum, I’ve never seen a photograph of light gently cast upon a breast that wasn’t stunning to behold.

Re: **Dire Wolf** - For all you rookie pussy-eaters…

I swear we must be long-lost brothers, **Wolvie**. There is nothing quite like the scent of a woman or the taste of her excitement. Good post for rookies _and_ pro’s.

Remember, though, if you’re interested in pleasing your partner, do what _they_ like, not always what _you_ like.

Yes I _know_ that shaving and extracurricular grooming is a pain in the … well… you know, but good God it’s worth it. I actually start getting a little excited before I even finish because I know I’m going to get something amazing for my efforts.

My husband loves eating me evenmore than usual when I’m freshly smooth and (nearly )hairless. I have found that for me it’s better not to try to get the area just above the lips totally smooth cause the hairs all grow in different directions and it’s nearly impossible. I leave a little strip of hair, trimmed, and it’s soft and really quite pretty if I do say so myself. Oh and I’ve found if you use a little mouthwash as a sort of after-shave it’s even better. Stay away from the listerine though, ughh.

All women are different I suppose. I loved the alphabet technique, and I love having the lips sucked and Hell I love any attention there. Lips, tongues, toys props …it’s all good.

Oh and yes, I will definately give him a very enthusastic kiss afterwards. It’s only fair. mmmmm minty fresh.

This could be an exercise in emotional exchange, too, you know. Mechanical technique is only an aspect. Me, well, I’ve been celibate for a fairly long time, but I do have memories of good experiences. Take your time. Enjoy yourself, and experience every part of your lover’s body. Get involved.

Oh, and right after that very intense special moment, try this: Open your mouth very wide, and gently cover her mons with your teeth. Gently, ever so gently, press down with your teeth. Growl. Then nuzzle her with your whole face.

Yeah. Good memories.

But don’t think of it as a chore. Who wants a sexual favor, when you can have a sexual adventure?

I’m sorry, Eft, I just used your quote as a context, nothing rage-filled aimed at you. I actually agreed with what you said; I trim mine every week or so to keep it neat. And am I the only weirdo who used shampoo and conditioner when I know I’m gonna get some action? Probably.

All of mine grows in opposite directions. My college boyfriend was terribly into the shaved thing, and I made _such_ an effort. I was so happy to please him. I shaved, and since it grows in opposite directions, it hurt so much growing back in, and it was impossible to get it completely smooth anyway. I tried Nair, and I cried for five days. That stuff burns! I even paid $45 for a waxing, and aside from the fact it’s about as enjoyable as a gyno visit, it hurts like a motherfucker (I tried to block it out, but still cringe when I think about it). I finally told the guy that it was neat or no nookie - I just couldn’t take the pain!

I’m all for doing whatever turns the guy on. If he asks nicely, I’ll make an effort. But that’s where I draw the line!

Nope. You’re not the only one. Not sure if it actually helps, but I figure it can’t hurt, and my shampoo smells better than my soap anyway.

Or don’t. I had a guy growl once in bed. After I got done rolling my eyes at the utter lameness and contrived nature of it, I managed to still enjoy myself, but it was really quite irritating. I don’t think I’d like the whole mouth over the area thing either… it’s all individual. I’m picky about those things and that stuff doesn’t sound at all appealing.

Personally, I’d like to keep my amateur status to retain Olympic eligibility. You never know; someday cunnilingus might make it in. It could be as big as synchronized swimming. Besides, this is one area where the term “professional” has decidedly negative connotations.

The key here, I think, is to keep in mind that, sadly, there is no one-size-fits-all method. What some women love, others like, others merely tolerate, and still others don’t enjoy.

Any of the tricks and techniques mentioned above are worth trying… but you have to combine trying with _sensing_ how your lady is reacting. Mechanically trying the alphabet business is no good if it’s not producing a reaction.

Listen and feel her slight motions, her shifts in breathing, the way she makes little noises under her breath… _those_ are the clues to what’s working and what isn’t, and it avoids putting her in ‘traffic cop’ mode: “Over to the right… right there… faster… faster…”

I’ve been thinking of this for some time, and since this thread now exists, I have a question.

I LOVE eating pussy. Though I have been told that I’m good (I learned LouisB’s secret years ago, and it works) I’d like to know–how much time should I spend on the clit? I usually vary my technique and get the entire vagina involved, but if there’s anything else I should know, please tell me.

One more question, and if it’s stupid chalk it up to me being a man. I like, for lack of a better way to say it, to tongue-fuck when I’m down there. Do you really get as much pleasure out of that as I think you do? I’ve always felt that the sensation of something that can be both firm and soft at the same time going inside of you would be a huge turn on.

Nothing wrong with canvassing some opinions, but what’s more important - what a thousand ladies on the internet like, or what your own sexual partner likes?

Ask her.

I agree with that. And if you find out what she does like, practice, practice, practice. And if she not around to practice, don’t go and practice on somebody else. Definite no-no.

And if your S.O. has eight legs, just go where they all meet, and you’ll do just fine.:D:D

Hey! I _like_ that!

I’m beginning to think threads like this are a little silly though.
