Cunnilingus is Not Landicalingus

When it comes to cunnilingus, we often hear “go for the clitoris.” One cunnilingus-affecionado says if the clit is it, then you’re doing it wrong. 

Vagina comes from the Latin term meaning sword scabbard, so “Thrust your sword into my Vagina” would make perfect sense to an Ancient Roman, because where else would he stick it?

That being said, it must have been easier for these ancient people to see the bigger picture when it came to performing oral sex on their women, and that’s because they understood the meaning of the word “cunnilingus.” You see, cunnilingus does not mean landicalingus, for Cunnilingus translated to English means Vulva and Tongue, where Landica was the term for Clitoris. So why do we say cunnilingus and not landicalingus? You guessed it, because eating  pussy means the whole Vulva, and not just the clit!

Just imagine the clitoris is like the sum of all of the instruments in an orchestra all playing at once. That is too much for any one person to have to listen to for the entire duration. Instead we start off with a few instruments and then a few more, and then even a few less, but all the time we know we are slowly ebbing and flowing, and building to a crescendo when the walls and ceiling will shake with an explosion of music that grabs us and tosses us about in rapture, then gently lets us back down into our seats.

So my advice to lickers everywhere is love the Vulva in its entirety, flick, suck, kiss, lick and stroke it. Wrap your arms around her warm thighs and make yourself really comfortable between them, and be prepared to stay a while. Adore her pelvis and inner thighs with warm open kisses. Gobble her labia into your mouth and gently pull on them with your lips, hum a loving tune to this vulva adventure, and taste and smell and touch. Let your tongue slide between her oh-so-wet labia, down to the entrance of her vagina, and if you are blessed, let it gently slide inside of her and tease and please her. Let your perfectly manicured fingers share in the delight as well.

As you move closer to her clit, know that it is part of the journey, and not the final destination. Be the sailor at any port, love it, then leave it, then love it some more.

While she might enjoy a strong tongue at some point, especially once the build up has begun, she will, at times, prefer a very light touch. Just imagine your tongue touching the delicate petal of a sunflower, without bending or breaking it off. Write a love story around her clit with your tongue letter by letter. Pause between paragraphs and rest between chapters.

You can discern speed, intensity and pressure by listening to her body to understand what she likes, because every vulva is unique. Listen to her sounds and her breathing because they will direct you to stay or move on. Take time to stop and look up into her eyes, to see her smile, to communicate with words. Let her feel there is no other place you would rather be.

While the clit itself should never be left out, the Vulva should always be adored.
