ORAL SEX

Oral sex is stimulating your partners’ genitals with your mouth (tongue and lips), which can include licking or sucking the vulva (cunnilingus), the penis (fellatio), or anus (analingus). You can have mutual oral sex where partners both give and receive at the same time, also known as 69, or one person giving and the other receiving.

When giving or receiving oral sex it’s easy to single out the part of the body that’s receiving it and just focus on that, and if giving oral sex can have thoughts come in of ‘am I doing it okay or do they like this?’ so still check in with each other, you can use your hands to caress and touch your partner’s body and skin as well so not just focusing on the gential area. The genitals are super sensitive so the lightest touch can be enjoyable.

As with all sex, oral sex can be a very intimate, personal and pleasurable act to engage in with your partner. It is common to feel vulnerable with a partner giving or receiving oral sex, because it is so intimate. So, it’s really important to feel comfortable with this and communicate what you like and what you don’t like. Communicating what you like and don’t like with your partner can be fun and doesn’t have to be serious!
