DoubleM agony auntFor years it has been most productive, I think, based on response from many male visitors here, when seeking advice from those perhaps older and more experienced at performing oral sex on wives and other female lovers. There are a number of very good DC contributors who have advised over the years on this Web site, and I suspect the guys who listened have done very well.

But it is more difficult to offer advice to the woman seeking to educate their lover(s) because the lovers are not doing the asking. They (the guys) have to be very open-minded and willing to learn. I suspect that some are, and some are not, possibly too vain or whatever to think that experience matters.

Anyway, I've contributed many extensive writings which are archived here, but I'll advance a few more tidbits regarding "oral stimulation to the clitoris," which is the apex of a woman's pleasure. If your boyfriend is open-minded enough to accept some guidance from a much older and experienced man, then so be it.

First off, I'll defer to the better writer and authority on the subject, previously mentioned many times, Dr. Ian Kerner, PhD, author of the great volume, "She Comes First" (2004). In my opinion, his 226-page dissertation is the ultimate guide to driving most any woman crazy with orgasmic pleasure.

In a nutshell, however, the point is that the man should first please the woman, and the best way to do that begins with romance in a romantic or somehow august setting, erotic as possible, and with the attention focused on her pleasure rather than his own.

Following substantial time in setting mood, sexuality and anticipation (which is most critical), which I've intimately described in this Web site's archives, the focus eventually sets on the woman's clitoris. Her labia should gently be spread, licked ever so softly without hesitation but not hurriedly, and gently "tickled" with the tip of the tongue to stimulate her response.

More advice can be found in the archives, by entering "DoubleM on cunnilingus", or I'll continue by request.

Tell him what works best for you, let him know that as he has worked on you you are starting to realize what is most effective.

If your bf is awful at oral sex, you are awful at receiving it...he's got no clue what works for you unless you, the other 50% of the relationship are talking and encouraging and guiding.

Really! Start talking and he'll start listening.

Also, if you are faking anything, you are really mucking up his understanding of you and your needs.

CindyCares agony aunt Don't tell him "you are awful at oral sex ", but do tell him : let's try another way- faster, harder,softer, etc.etc,let's seek together what works best for ME.

I don't think there's such a thing as being absolutely good or absolutely bad in sex.Every woman is soooo different, maybe his moves were great on other partners, but not on you. There is not a text book, universally correct way to do things, every time it has to be customized to the person you are with.

Explain him that if he seems upset or hurt.

SweetSmoochy agony auntThere are definitely ways you can work on this without having a real sit-down talk with him. You can absolutely avoid the awkward feelings-hurt risk of that kind of approach.

I agree with C. Grant. He'll get over the initial slight embarassment the second he gets it right and sends you off in happy squeaks.

If he does something you like, tell him, verbally and instantly, "That felt awesome". It's also completely acceptable to give little directions like higher, harder, etc. Even people who ae good at oral get those kinds of directions just because the giver never knows exactly how the reiever feels.

C. Grant agony auntGuide him and teach him. Let him know what works and what doesn't. If he happens to get something right, make noises that let him know that it was good. If he's getting no where for a while, gently move his head in a better direction. If you're not willing to teach, he's never going to learn, right?
