A little trip down under

Oral sex. Kinda gross, but feels kinda good. The concept seems disgusting: you are putting your mouth on their hoo-has and ding-dongs. You are also going to get a salty little treat if you know how to work it correctly. Oral sex can be awkward and makes many people uncomfortable, but once you relax enough to be able to enjoy it, it can, as that annoying, over-played song states, "give you tingles in a silly place".

Let's start with standard boy on girl. Not all girls like guys to go down on them. It's pretty much a make or break deal with us. We didn't invite you over to slobber all over us. Don't be gross. The tongue is the strongest muscle in the body for a reason. Use our body language and sounds as cues for where to go, what to do, and when to keep going.

Sometimes, if we're really into it, we like a little extra sensation. Time to introduce some manual labor, aka, use your fingers as well. If we grab your hair, that's good. If we try to push your head away, that's bad.

If we take you by the shoulders and pull you on top of us, go with it. It means you did something right and now we're ready for the next step. Not all girls can orgasm from oral sex, but it can still be great foreplay.

Some of you guys may be nervous to give a girl oral. It's tricky business down there and it's not like there's a specific formula to make your girl orgasm.

Every girl is different, and requires a different technique. Forget what your friends in eighth grade said about spelling the alphabet out in cursive and trust your instincts. If you think too hard about pleasing your girl, you will lose spontaneity and the whole situation will become too technical.

Oral sex is supposed to be fun and pleasurable, not a job. And for all you guys who are too grossed out to go down on a girl? We can't force you to do anything, but just remember that you get what you give.

Time to move on to girl on boy. You boys looooove getting head. We have never met a guy who has said, "No, seriously, please get your mouth away from my crotch. How was your day?" If there's a chance for you to get a little blow j, you're going to take it.

Now, at this point in our lives, most of us girls know what you boys like. We've often heard that there's no such thing as a bad blow job; they range from ok to amazing. Of course, there's the chance of an accidental tooth incident, but we won't go too far into that.

It might bring back painful memories for some of you guys. But moving on from that, it's pretty easy to tell what a guy likes. Whether it's fast or slow, deep throat or just the tip, balls or no balls, there are clear indicators. Anything and everything might work.

And no one says you have to swallow either. If a guy tries to tell you that that's the only way he likes it, well then he just won't get any. It's up to you whether you want to swallow, spit, or pull away.

Lastly, there's our favorite number and yours, 69. Sometimes it's hard to split your attention between giving and receiving, but overall it can be an exciting experience. It you find the standard position of girl-on-guy too invasive, trying both of you lying on your sides, facing each other head to toe.

Oral sex is an extremely intimate and up close and personal act. You have to be comfortable with your partner and most importantly, yourself.

One sure-fire way to ruin the experience is by voicing your disdain towards oral. If you bitch and moan about how you're just doing this to get your partner to stop asking, this ruins it for both people. So suck it up. Literally.
