Cunnilingus
Cunnilingus Sex Guide explains cunnilingus, oral sex, going down, eating out, clitoral stimulation, tongue play, lesbian sex, foreplay and oral pleasure culture around the world.
Cunnilingus means using the mouth, lips and tongue on the vulva and clitoris. Most people just call it oral sex, going down or eating out.
It can be soft and slow, messy and hungry, teasing, worshipful, romantic or rough depending on the people involved. Some keep it as foreplay, some treat it as the main event, and some mix it with fingering, dirty talk, face-sitting, domination, submission or restraint play.
For many people the turn-on is not only the physical pleasure. It can also be the feeling of being worshipped, controlled, teased, made helpless or pushed over the edge slowly.

Cunnilingus culture
Cunnilingus appears everywhere from normal relationships and one-night stands to Lesbian sex, escort scenes, Swinger clubs, fetish parties and sex-positive clubs.
In fetish culture, oral sex can become part of worship, humiliation, teasing, punishment, service, domination or submission. Some people enjoy the soft intimate side, others enjoy the dirty power-game side.
Safety and hygiene
Good hygiene, consent and communication matter. Some people use dental dams or other protection to reduce STI risk during oral sex.
