Oral Sex: An Art of Pleasure with the Tongue

Posted by John Isner on June 7th, 2021

There is a myth that oral sex isn’t actually sex. Sex is everything that results in arousal and gives a sensation of pleasure when indulged in by the partners.

Oral sex is real sex, it is equally pleasurable as the penis in vagina sex. Oral sex has become one of the most common sexual practices in recent years. In common practice unfortunately men, as compared to women, haven’t been lucky enough to receive the same amount of oral stimulation even though it’s what that turns them on the most but as per the census, 97.1% of men and 95.4% of women said that receiving oral sex was at least somewhat or very pleasurable.

Oral sex is often linked with foreplay before penetrative intercourse. Undoubtedly this act can help set the mood but it can be a stand-alone act in itself. As said, the act requires both the partners to be involved, where one of the partners uses their mouth, lips, or tongue to stimulate their partner’s penis, vagina, or anus.


There are two terms that are associated with oral sex:

Fellatio: This involves sucking and licking the penis and stimulating it with lips, tongue or teeth.

Cunnilingus: This involves stimulating the vagina or clitoris by sucking or licking outside and around the vulva. Lelo Ora 2 gives an unforgettable and the most exciting pleasure imaginable. A larger rotating nub sits beneath its smooth silicone skin, promising long seductive swirls and intense pulsations on and around the clitoris.

Except these the casual sneaky words that are used to describe oral sex are:

  • Going down
  • Giving head
  • Rimming
  • 69
  • Blow job

Benefits of engaging in oral sex:

  • One of the main advantages of oral stimulation is the lower risk. There are no chances of pregnancy even when you are involved without any protection or condom.
  • It increases the intimacy between the partners. Direct penetration might prove a little turn-off by the other partner. It should always begin with a slow act of kissing and slowly moving to other parts of the body.
  • It is an essential part of foreplay that makes the clitoris naturally lubricated and ready for insertion.

Here is the way to try oral sex with your respective partner:

In the case of Vulva:

Flick the clit: A soft stroke on the clit by the tongue is a nice start to build pleasure.

Insert or not: It’s totally the choice of the partner. If you are engaging in a non-penetrative act, then inserting the tongue might be an option to discuss. It solely depends on how pleasurable it feels.

Periods and pregnancy: Orals can go messy during this time, but if they consent and you are cool as well, there doesn’t seem to be any problem. The blood can have an odor and a metallic taste which might not be very usual.

In the case of the Penis: When they are uncircumcised: When you begin off with a hand job, let the foreskin move up and down with your hand. When you’re ready to lick with it, gently pull the foreskin down to expose the head.

Deep throating: It’s the choice of the partner. It’s not necessary to do a deep throat session. It can also be placed on the roof of the mouth and be sucked as per the pleasure.

Spit or swallow: It depends on what turns them on and what you’re comfortable in. if it's a visual treat for them, you can finish them off on your closed lips or chin, whatever you please.

Oral sex can be a fun experience, especially when all the precautionary measures are kept in mind. A dental dam is a thin, flexible piece of latex that protects against direct mouth-to-genital or mouth-to-anus contact during oral sex. This reduces your risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) while still allowing for clitoral or anal stimulation.
