So what is cunnilingus? You may not be familiar with the word but most of you are definitely familiar with the act.
Cunnilingus is defined as the act or practice of orally stimulating the female genitals.
In other words it is the scientific term for when a man performs oral sex or "goes down" on a woman.
Cunnilingus can make a woman explode into multiple orgasms when done right.
So it makes sense that some refer to it as the fine art of sex using the mouth and tongue.
However it usually takes a skilled lover to lead their partner to orgasm orally.
Most women require clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm and find it difficult from penetration alone.
Hence the biggest benefit of oral sex is you can directly stimulate the clitoris with your tongue.
Do this right and you will have your lover writhing in ecstasy and begging you for more.
It's all about technique Take it nice and slow by kissing your partner and slowly working your way down her body.
Gently kiss and caress your partner's breasts using your hands and mouth.
Then inch by inch slowly glide your tongue down her stomach until you reach her hips.
Increase her anticipation by stopping here to softly graze your lips over and between her hip bones.
Move from one side to the other teasing her by licking and lightly blowing on her lower stomach.
Then begin to kiss and stroke her inner thighs, one of the tenderest spots on a woman's body.
As her excitement intensifies her breathing will quicken.
This is your cue - now it's time for things to really get started.
First spread the outer folds of her vagina with one of your hands and use the other to find her clitoris.
Keep in mind that the clitoris is composed of 8000 nerve fibers making it the most sensitive spot on the entire female body so approach it slowly and gently.
Start to softly touch your partner by coming close to her clitoris then slightly pulling away.
This teasing will excite and arouse her even further.
Now spread her legs gently and slowly.
Continue to caress the clitoris and when it gets harder use your tongue to separate the inner vaginal lips by running your tongue up and down between the layers of the flesh.
Now begin to softly lick the clitoris.
When you sense that she's getting closer to reaching orgasm, make your lips into an O and take her clitoris into your mouth.
Suck her gently at first slowly increasing the intensity as you suck her harder.
There are other things you can do while continuing to lick and suck the clitoris.
Women also enjoy additional stimulation such as using your finger to penetrate their vagina or stimulating the erogenous zone at the top of her vagina.
The key to getting your partner to orgasm from oral sex is paying attention.
Be guided by changes in her breathing and any sounds of pleasure she might make.
If you're not sure if she likes what you are doing ask her.
