The common term for fellatio ‘suck’ is also a widely used technique involving the use of vacuum applied to the genitalia. The term can be misleading because increasing the amount of vacuum, pressure or level of sucking doesn’t correspond to a proportionate increase in response to stimulation and pleasure. Equally, the sounds associated with increased vacuum can be distracting to your partner(s) and mask the more passionate sounds of giving a blowjob. Save that for porn where technique is devoid of any logic, awareness and sensitivity to your partners response.

A more accurate description and techniques that maximize pleasure are those that ‘stroke the genitalia‘ – orally. Equally, licking is often an oral technique and mans’ standard for cunnilingus. Oral stimuli applied with just the tongue or its tip fails to capture the full potential of sensual sensations that can be shared between partners. Techniques that utilize more of the mouths tools to simultaneously embrace multiple erogenous zones apply equally across cunnilingus and fellatio. The allure of passive and transference practices as well as the sensual indulgence of personal desire can be used to enhance these techniques.
