What is Oral Sex?

Oral sex pertains to a range of sexual activities that involve your mouth, lips, tongue, throat and even teeth to sexually stimulate your partner's sex organs. Oral sex goes by many fancy names: it's cunnilingus when it's oral sex done on females; fellatio when its oral sex done on males; and analingus when it's oral sex performed on a man or woman's anus.

Cunnilingus is derived from the Latin words cunnus and lingua, which mean vulva and tongue, respectively. Fellatio, on the other hand, comes from the Latin word fell?re, which means to suck.

Oral sex is usually viewed as an essential part of foreplay but it's of course also a way to bring your sex partner to a wonderful climax.

As we have covered cunnilingus already a couple of months back, it's time for the boys to get their turn don't you think? For this reason, we'll cover the art of fellatio in this article and the succeeding others.

Before you start, why don't you grab your partner and read these fellatio articles together? This way, she can learn the many mind-blowing ways she can pleasure you even before you guys engage in intercourse.

Why Oral Sex for Him Rocks

The 'she submits, he rules' mentality. Throughout time and various cultures, oral sex for him has always been regarded as just another way for men to show their dominion over women. First, consider the standard position: he stands up, or sits down, or lies pleasantly on his back, while she kneels, bows her head and pleasures him.

Today, there's still a bit of truth behind this mentality. Admit it. Isn't it a tremendous ego boost for you if you see your woman go down on you and start pleasuring you in s somewhat submissive position? Of course it is!

It's all about visual cues. Going away from the submission and dominion route, another reason why fellatio is great for your sex lives is because as we all know by now, men are such visual creatures.
In fact, just take a second to consider this: sure, men may close their eyes and be in complete rapture as their women perform oral sex on them. However, often enough, men actually keep their eyes open and watch as their partners perform fellatio on them. This is because seeing their woman perform oral sex on them is as much of a turn on as the deed itself.

Oral sex for him is a great sexual alternative. If your partner is at the latter stages of pregnancy, then chances are, she may not want to engage in intercourse. As a result, this can leave you very sexually frustrated. Hmmm, a sexually frustrated man and a very pregnant woman - you can see that this can easily be the route of many relationship fights.

With fellatio, however, you can still enjoy the pleasures of climax without necessarily forcing your partner with intercourse. As to whether she should swallow or not, that is really more of a personal preference and not related to your partner being pregnant or not.

Still, in the old and unenlightened times, there was actually a myth that swallowing semen is bad for a pregnant woman. That myth has long been busted as studies show that the chemical composition of semen can actually be healthy for pregnant women!

Fellatio can be a great, yet naughty way to spice up your relationship. For many couples, there soon comes a time when intercourse becomes boring and routine. One great way to increase sexual tension in your relationship is to engage in oral sex a lot. By this I don't only mean for foreplay. Why not have nights when you deliberately do not have intercourse at all?

That may sound crazy but consider this: by just concentrating on oral sex, you can find or even develop other ways to ingeniously pleasure each other without penetration. And yet you guys STILL get to climax! It's a win-win situation really.

Oral sex for HIM is healthy for HER. In a 2003 study by the North Carolina State University on 15,000 women, they found out that those who performed fellatio regularly (once or twice per week) showed a reduced risk for breast cancer of about 40%! Although the study has yet to discover why exactly, the study does show that there's a link between the two.

There you have it. All the good reasons to go down on him tonight!
