Oral Roberts... and Toms, and Dicks, and Harrys... by Rachel Lancaster

Oral fixations - we all have them... Yes, really, we all do. We like to eat, and drink, and talk, and taste - and then of course, there are those other oral - sexual - things... It's so fundamental really - like childhood.

A baby's world revolves around its mouth - from the breast, to the spoon, to discovery of the world around him - all things center on what goes in, or comes out of, the mouth.

As adults we're not so much different - we only like to believe we are... Why is it then, that men are so orally fixated? Okay, well women are too, but we're talking the opposite sex here, so let's maintain our focus... Let's face it - men love to explore our bodies with more than their hands and penises. In fact, I would venture to say a man's mouth - when it comes to sex - is probably his most valuable asset - that is, if he knows how to us it...

So, gals, let's examine what we'd like to see in the male oral repertoire shall we? First, and foremost - "the kiss"... If a man's a great kisser, if he can make your knees go weak with just his lips on yours, then viola! The stage is summarily set for even better things to come down the road. Of course, what a man does with his lips and his tongue on your mouth, no matter how good it is, doesn't necessarily mean he is going to rock your world when he travels with these same instruments below the neckline. I won't bore you with a dissertation on what makes a man a great kisser - we all have our preferred modes of lip lock...

Moving right along... There is, however a lot of ground to cover from the time your man decides he wants to venture south, and the time that he actually arrives at the promised land. This brings us to the second item that most of us would like to see in a guy's oral repertoire - so if we're looking at this whole exercise as a journey or voyage - we'll call this phase "oral mapping of the terrain." "What the hell?" you may ask. It's simple - his mouth, lips, and tongue - everywhere. Got it? Good. My body has lots of hot spots, not just my mouth, my boobs, and my Bermuda triangle (you know that place guys get lost in...). The man who can fully explore the territory between the "b" and "c" zone (that'd be "breasts" and - I don't really have to define the "c" zone do I?) with his mouth is numero uno in my book! It's okay fellas, you may all snicker at tales of men who suck on elbows, fingertips, and the backs of knees, but trust me, when I tell you breaking new ground and being inventive is often appreciated. Plus, it makes us feel like our bodies are temples (which they are) and you as a man are only too happy (as you should be) to worship any and all parts of it.

So now, we've explored "the kiss" and "mapping" of all parts between the designated zones - the pies de resistance then, is how that lovely mouth of yours can be put to work below my belly-button line, and specifically between my thighs... Aha! You knew we'd get to the real "oral" fixation part of this little rant didn't 'cha... So, what says I on this particular part of the matter? The last item your man should have in his oral repertoire is a willingness to go down for the count - on you... That's right ladies - the man of your dreams should most definitely be willing to put his lips and tongue to work on your most private of parts, twisting, turning, licking, sucking, delving, sampling, savoring, and tasting, until you hit max fly and supernova... It's probably one of the most sure fire ways to ensure your woman achieves the big "O"... You fellas taking notes out there...? I'd go into a play by play of what works and what doesn't, but then again, we all have our likes and dislikes in this area, so remember, just get in there and be "carefully" adventurous.

Nonetheless, the few words of wisdom I will offer are these - don't attack my clit! It ain't a pearl just waiting to be popped out of hiding, you have to start out slow and coax it into a more pliable state. Remember that little jewel is sensitive, and with a little careful attention you'll find out just what wonderful benefits you can glean by learning just what feels right and feels nice...

Ah, yes, there's nothing better than a guy with a good well-rounded oral fixation. I got mine - here's to hoping you find yours! Cheers and bon apetite!
