50 Cunnilingus Tips from Women

We've received thousands of cunnilingus tips over the years. Here are some of the best tips we've received from women. Men, listen up!

1. Use smooth, steady, slow rhythmic licks. Slow and steady wins the race


2. I am new to this whole oral sex thing. My husband decided to eat me out the other night. He made these motions with his tongue and told me to guess what he was spelling against my clit. I thought it would be weird to have him do that but it really relaxed me and I had fun with it. So guys: Spell out little messages like "I love you" or "You taste good." It will take any hesitation away from your girl while she's decoding your playful messages.


3. At Wal-Mart they have these little ice trays that make tubular ice for bottles. They sell the trays for a dollar each. Get small pieces of (what my husband and I now refer to as) Cooter Ice. Slip them around the clit and into the vaginal opening. It makes for wicked sensation.


4. In regard to oral sex in particular, you MUST know your lover's sensitivity level. I, for one, am ultra-sensitive. If someone just dives in and attacks my clit, uses teeth, has no variation in technique, then I will probably still orgasm; however, I will be too sore to go again for hours or even days. This is extremely irritating!


5. If I start moving toward your tongue, it's because you and I have found the exact "spot"...let ME move, don't you move.


6. The secret is to soften the tongue and work around the clitoral area rather than aggressively attacking the clit. Variation of pattern is also important. Once I'm truly horny, an occasional flick of the tongue is ok--but only occasionally. I also think that stimulation of the G-spot, which is basically adjacent to the clit on the inside of the vagina, is important as it creates a much deeper, more intense orgasm.


7. Nothing is more erotic than being held open with gentle loving hands. It gives direct access to the clit and he works it so well. I melt every time! When his elbows are planted at shoulder width (my lover's shoulders are quite wide) and he has me open and exposed, working away, there is no way I am able to get away.


8. I totally agree with starting slow and looking her in the eyes. That drives me crazy. Another thing that makes me crazy is when my guy moans or growls while kissing and licking my pussy. The reverberations from the deepness of his voice drive me wild! Not to mention hearing him enjoy himself gets me off even harder.


9. If you boys start it... KNOW that it may take awhile! Finish what you started and once you've found her hot spot, stay there!


10. If I know I'm going to get a good eating from my man, I will eat pineapple throughout the day. He says it makes me taste unbelievable! I've also heard watermelon and celery will change the taste of your juices.


11. Having had my pussy licked, sucked, eaten, and savored by both men and women, I can tell you that the best way to find out what she likes is to get her to play with herself. Follow her lead, and it will change each time. Sometimes my pussy wants it hard, really hard, and sometimes only the slightest feather touch will make me explode.


12. Keep a steady rhythm going, and keep your tongue relaxed! Pointed tongues are too harsh on the clit, and actually desensitize. Another thing to keep in mind is that just because she's moaning louder doesn't mean she suddenly wants you to start going faster, make crazy figure eights, or gnaw on it. It means she likes EXACTLY what you've been doing. When a guy is doing something I really like, I'll usually say, "Don't stop," which means, "Don't stop exactly what you're doing right now."


13. I find that just the tip of my partner's finger inserted in my pussy after he's been eating me out for little while - barely moving, just sort of tickling the entrance - makes me go nuts. Pussy eating is a delicate matter, so don't thrust your finger too vigorously. You're just trying to gently tickle her into coming!


14. I like a guy to ask me how I like my pussy licked so I can help him find that awesome combination that makes me squirt without worrying about hurting his feelings or making him think I don't enjoy his moves. It takes a really great and confident lover to ask for feedback during hot sex. It makes me crazy!


15. I like my man to slip his fingers into my cunt while he is paying attention to my clit! Men, if you look like you are really enjoying yourself, too, it makes all the difference. A former boyfriend used to growl into my pussy when he went down on me which was unbelievably erotic and made me feel really wanted!


16. Don't forget about using the nose too! I love feeling my man's nose nuzzling my clit, and feeling his breathing on me, especially the moaning exhaling and him inhaling (smelling) me. Also, I don't know why, but the "wet" sound turns me on... the creamy, squishy, squelching noises.


17. Don't bite the clit. Men don't like having their dicks bitten and we don't like having our clits bitten either. It hurts and will very quickly get us out of the mood.


18. Don't drool and don't make loud sucking sounds. It's disgusting. A major turn off.


19. Popsicles are a good idea. They make a guy's tongue cold and the sensation is amazing. That, and the taste will be better for the guy. It's a win-win situation.


20. Deep kiss her clit. I love my partner deep kissing my clit, taking both lips of my vagina. I want him/her to suck on them for a long time before concentrating on my clitoris.


21. Tongue fucking is what rocks my world. Clit play is nice to get me hot, but after that, I want your tongue flicking across my hole for a while, teasing me with the idea of going in, then giving it all to me. Clit play gets boring after awhile and many women are too sensitive there anyhow.


22. Don't forget to warm us up first. Just like BJs aren't that great if we take your pants off and deep throat you off the bat, we like to be teased with the idea for a while, and get really, really aroused before you get started. It makes the orgasm THAT much harder.


23. I hate the finger penetration while sucking on the clit...it's distracting. Most guys just suck the life out of you because they think it's wonderful. Licking is wonderful too. Try it. The most important thing is to watch her reaction. If she's just lying there quiet, then she is bored and wishes you would stop.


24. Don't forget to be patient. It's not like in a porn movie - most women do not have an orgasm with in a minute or two. Like any good thing in life, it takes time and is worth waiting for.


25. Stop and make her need it. Finger her now, slowly at first, and kiss her thighs. Start again by flicking her clit with your tongue, light pressure, then experiment with other pressure and movement. Everything on the clit feels good, but some moves feel GREAT! Play around with tongue pressure and fingering and ass fingering or ass tickling/licking (if she wants it).


26. Use your entire face. Nothing is more frustrating than a hesitant tongue. The chin rubbing on the opening to the vagina adds to the pleasure. Also, let her know you enjoy it as well. Moan a little. A woman can tell if it's a chore.


27. Definitely start off with light kissing and slow deliberate strokes of the tongue. Then do some circling. If your girlfriend feels your tongue is too rough when you start off, you can tell because her movements will be too jerky and squirmish. That's your hint to either slow down, decrease pressure, or find another place to lick for a few minutes till she warms up.


28. Once I'm warmed up, I like spreading my legs wide and enjoying the hot wet lickage. What turns me on the most is talking dirty. I like asking my dude if he likes my pussy. So tell her some stuff (in between licks) that will blow her mind and enjoy what is bound to come next.


29. My tip to all men is don't put a whole lot of saliva in her when you're licking her. It feels better when there isn't a loogie inside us we can feel.


30. Don't shake your face - no one likes that! Also, complimenting her on her appearance down there boosts sexual confidence, which could lead to bigger and better things.


31. There is nothing I love more than his mouth on my clit and two fingers inside me. It doesn't really matter if his tongue moves back and forth, side to side, or in circles. All that matters is that once he chooses a method he sticks to it and DOESN'T CHANGE OR STOP. After a little of this I'm begging and pleading for his fingers inside me at the same time. They don't need to thrust because everything is already so sensitive. He just slides his fingers in and does a slight "come here" type motion while continuing to use his mouth on my clit and I usually respond by coming quickly indeed!


32. Ask your girl while you are downtown, "Right here?" and have her guide you. And once she says "YES, right there," don't stop. Don't change technique or location unless she asks you to. Too many times I have been right on the verge of cumming and the guy changes positions, my clit goes into spasms and I didn't even get to enjoy it. Damn, that pisses me off.


33. A rigid pointy tongue is horrible, but a soft flat tongue is amazing.


34. Enjoy it! We always get more pleasure if we feel that the guy is REALLY having fun. If I see that my boyfriend is doing it under pressure, I won't enjoy it either.


35. I like to lay on my back while he rests his head on my left leg and begins to kiss, lick and suck me. He purses his lips as if he is saying "OOOH" and grasps my clit with his mouth, thrusting his tongue through his lips and rolling it around my button. Sometimes he goes back and forth and then around, always doing this very gently at first, then with more pressure as I began to go crazy. In Asia they call this cunnilingus technique "polishing her pearl."


36. My boyfriend does this thing right on the clit, kind of like he is saying "LA LA LA LA!" really fast and then slowly licks up every once in awhile. Oh my god! It's great! People, I have had multiple orgasms from this little technique! And boys, I advise trying this on your girl!


37. I like it when my lover's tongue slowly takes the tour of my labia then moves up to my clitoris, and while their tongue is concentrating there, their lower lip moist from saliva and my love juices is brushing gently around my perineum, with an occasional glance across my anus. It makes my asshole pucker and the sphincter response sends ripples through my vagina.


38. Just because she has cum does not mean that you are done. Don't be afraid to give her clit a gentle massage with your tongue and lips as if you're calming it down just to get all worked up again.


39. Make noises when you're eating the pussy. You want her to believe that eating her pussy is the best thing you ever tasted. Think of your favorite food and pretend the pussy is just that.


40. That other girl was right about the "tongue fucking." Generally tongues aren't long enough to stimulate the area really well. The general entrance isn't all that sensitive and it won't really accomplish much. I'm not saying to only stick to the clit...by all means, have a wander, especially in the beginning. But just don't spend too much time trying to "tongue fuck" unless you're Gene Simmons.


41. I love it when my boyfriend hums on my pussy. No songs, just a hum. It feels like a vibrator while he is licking on my pussy


42. My boyfriend wasn't confident he was getting the right spot to start with, so we found it helped to place a CD over my vagina so the hole matched the position of the clitoris. That way he couldn't go wrong.


43. Some women like a consistent rhythm when getting eaten out. Don't just dive in. Pay attention to where you are licking, how fast, and how your tongue is shaped when you do it. I personally find that a flat tongue against my clit at a steady pace (usually medium speed to start and gradually faster as I get closer to an orgasm) is most satisfying, especially if you are a beginner.


44. There is nothing worse than a guy who finds a licking technique that the woman likes and then changes his speed or tongue position mid-lick because he is afraid she is getting bored. Really your girl is just going to get frustrated and it is going to be harder to make her cum. If she acts as if she likes what you are doing - STICK WITH IT!!! Don't change your technique because your guy friends tell you that it is best to try a bunch of tricks all in the same session. Just pay attention to her!


45. Focus on the clit! Guys usually just want to lick all over, but that's never going to get the girl to orgasm anytime soon. Just focus on licking the clit in a solid motion or in circles, and then simultaneously finger her in her vagina. Do both of those at the same time, and she'll be reaching orgasm and begging for more!


46. I like when my man spreads my legs wide then takes both hands to hold my lips apart while he licks around my pussy, gently flicking my clit, slowly at first then faster and faster until I cum. It drives me wild. It really makes me feel like he is so into eating me out and that there's no other place he'd rather be.


47. We have something like 5 times the nerve endings as men do "down there." So more pressure, more motion, etc., really isn't more. It's just distracting and/or painful.


48. As a woman, the best thing I can say is, don't just start going at it! It is uncomfortable and it helps if you set the mood first. Teasing and blowing really feels good. Let your mouth do the work, not your hands!


49. I love it when my man uses ice cubes. He gets a cup and fills it full of ice and then slowly pushes them in one by one. When they're in, he starts to lick and kiss my clit, and once they're melted a little, he'll suck them out one by one. It's an amazing combination of the two temperatures and gives me an amazing orgasm.


50. Ask her what she wants! We are all different and like it different ways. What worked for your last lady might not be on the list for your next. I like a tongue soft and light on my clit until I tell you to suck it! WE will let you know what feels good. Just ask!
