Oral sex can be so much more than just foreplay, and the very spicy oral sex positions we’ve collected for you here are proof that if you're into it, it's worth a stand-alone moment. It can be insanely intimate, it’s relatively low-risk compared to penetrative sex, not to mention…it’s more reliably orgasmic. That oral-to-easier-orgasm pipeline is especially true if you're part of the large majority of people with vaginas who depend on clitoral stimulation to cum. “For vulva owners, oral can very often lead to more consistent and intense orgasms than penetration,” says Nikki Coleman, PhD, a licensed psychologist and sex positive therapist. Mouths (especially when coupled with toys and/or fingers) can provide exactly the kind of targeted stimulation a vulva might need. If you’re the giving partner, one good place to start is by figuring out what makes the receiver, specifically, swollen or wet with lust. Everyone’s different, and moves that might’ve been fool-proof on an ex might be meh for a new partner. “That’s why experimenting with different rhythms, pressures, and patterns, and seeing how your partner's body responds, is essential,” says sex expert Niki Davis-Fainbloom. Let curiosity guide you. What happens if you slide a firm flat tongue up the shaft of a penis or across a vulva? What if you suck on a penis head or over a clit? Don’t be afraid to find out. “Making oral sex a fun and exhilarating experience hinges on creativity, playfulness, and exploration,” says Davis-Fainbloom Before you go down under, remember that safety comes first. “Oral sex without protection (such as condoms and dental dams) puts you and your partners at risk of many types of sexually transmissible infections (STIs),” says Jillian LoPiano, OBGYN and Chief Health Officer at Wisp. Practice safe sex and, if you think you might have an STI, get tested. Once you have the all-clear, get ready to go downtown. Below, 38 ways to give and get the most toe-curling orgasms allowed by law. The Bend and Slap Want to try an oral/spanking hybrid? “One partner puts both knees on a chair (with a pillow for comfort) and bends over, holding the back of the chair for stability. The other provides oral pleasure while on their knees,” recommends Alicia Sinclair, certified sex educator and founder of Le Wand. Spank away, or don’t. It also works for 100 percent oral, 0 percent spanking.2 The Human Vibrator Harness the power of a wand vibrator to do your bidding by having the person giving oral press a wand massager against their throat. “The power of the wand will work its way through the throat to the mouth. Play with different areas to place the wand and vibration intensities to discover what works best for you and your partner,” says Sinclair. Opposite Day Work the angles by arraying yourselves just a little differently. One of you sits on a sturdy couch or chair while the other person puts their feet on the cushion, hands on the backrest for stability. “The sitting partner tilts their head backward to stimulate you from below from a unique direction,” says Sinclair. The giver is free to play with balls, slide a finger up a vagina or play with their partner’s ass. Full Face Don't be afraid to get all up in there. “Instead of just using your tongue, see how it feels to use your whole face to pleasure your partner,” says Davis-Fainbloom. “The warmth and texture of a cheek, alongside the gentle pressure of a nose (trust!), can provide a unique and stimulating sensation against the vulva or penis.” If you want to put a little lube on your nose, go to town. The Booty Adding some butt stuff can enhance oral, amp up orgasms, and expand your kinkiness altogether. “See how it feels to put anal beads in your partner and slowly take them out as you give your partner oral pleasure,” says Davis-Fainbloom. For optimal oomph, pull them out one by one at the moment of orgasm. “When timed right, the slow removal of the beads at peak moments can amplify pleasure significantly, creating a memorable and enjoyable exploration of new sensations together.” You can also use anal beads in the vagina—just make sure you have a dedicated V-only pair. The Novelist Inspired by the viral Hysterical Literature Youtube series, watch your partner get overcome by lust by having them read aloud from a book while the other partner gives them oral pleasure. You can choose any book—or a sexy book to up the ante—and see how long they can keep it together. Watching them finally break, despite their best efforts, is what makes this so hot. “As soon as they cannot articulate words properly, switch, and the other partner will receive oral," recommends Davis-Fainbloom. The Sensation Player “If you want to explore more of your sensuality in the bedroom, this one's for you,” says Drysdale. “Grab a cup of ice and another cup of warm water. Take one cube of ice in your mouth when going down on your partner to allow them to explore the cool sensations. Next, switch it up with the warm water. This allows you to slow it down while heating up your oral game.” (Make sure your partner is down with this beforehand—no one likes surprise ice groin.) The Other Kind of Vanilla “Not a fan of your partner’s taste or want to experiment with different flavors?” says Drysdale. Flavored lube to the rescue! “Grab a handful of WOO More Play’s Coconut Love Oil and apply it to your partner’s genitals generously. This lube will have your partner tasting like the most delicious vanilla cupcakes, without a yeast infection in sight.” (It's organic and all-natural!) Sideways Oral Try the Kivin Method, which is basically oral from the side, but it changes the sensations completely. The receiver lies on their back with their leg lifted while the giver goes in sideways under the leg and slides their tongue up and down along the receiver's vulva. Pop a rumbly internal vibe in and prepare to roll you eyes back into your head.
