Cunnilingus – the art of pleasure with the mouth
What is Cunnilingus?
Cunnilingus refers to the oral stimulation of the vulva, particularly the clitoris and the labia, with the tongue, lips, and sometimes fingers. The goal is to provide intense pleasure to the partner, to heighten arousal, and often to lead to orgasm.
Techniques and Approaches
Gentle Exploration: Before the clitoris is specifically stimulated, it is advisable to gently trace the entire vulva with the tongue in soft, serpentine movements. This includes the labia majora and minora, the mons pubis, and also the perineum.
Rhythm and Variation: Alternating between slow and faster, circular or pulsating movements increases pleasure. Pressure and speed can be adjusted based on the partner's reactions.
Sucking and Licking: A gentle sucking on the clitoris, alternated with soft licking movements, can be very stimulating. Including the anus and inner thighs can also awaken additional erogenous zones.
Fingers and Toys: In addition to the tongue and lips, fingers can be gently inserted into the vagina or a vibrator can be used to intensify the experience.
The Right Position and Atmosphere
A relaxed posture for the partner, for example by raising the pelvis with a pillow, ensures pleasant accessibility and avoids tension for both. Foreplay, gentle touches, and a loving approach create the foundation for an enjoyable experience.
Important Tips
Start slowly and increase with the partner's consent.
Breaks and changes in tempo prevent your tongue from tiring and maintain tension.
Pay attention to nonverbal feedback to ideally adjust the intensity.
Also use your hands to simultaneously caress other sensitive areas such as breasts, thighs, or the perineum.
