13 tips for mastering cunnilingus
- Prepare your mouth
Before you start, make sure your mouth is well-hydrated. A dry tongue or lips can make the experience uncomfortable. A little water, lip balm, or edible lubricant can make all the difference.
- Explore gently
Don’t rush straight to the clitoris. Take time to explore the entire vulva and surrounding areas, like the inner thighs. This multiplies sensations and gradually builds anticipation.
- Vary your approach
Start with soft kisses, warm breaths, or gentle lip touches. Gradually introducing the tongue will make the experience richer and more intense.
- Use different paths
Stimulate the clitoris in various ways: top to bottom, bottom to top, side to side, or in circular motions. Each angle offers a unique sensation.
- Discover the clitoris
In some women, the clitoral hood partially covers the clitoris. Gently lifting the skin upward—without pulling directly on the clitoris—can expose the most sensitive area, often leading to intense pleasure.
- Alternate rhythms and intensity
Switch up pressure, speed, and the type of contact: flat tongue, tongue tip, kisses, fast or slow movements… Stay creative and attentive to your partner’s reactions.
