Oral sex tips

In response to your emails we've decided to give a few pointers on how to give a great blowjob. So open wide and say "AAAAH"...

There are more things in heaven and earth Fellatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy…

No seriously, there's more to a blowjob than sucking. You shouldn't suck. It shouldn't suck. And most importantly, it shouldn't suck for you to give it.

Oral sex should either be an art or a pleasure but never a chore. This week we'll share a few tried and trusted tricks of the trade. But keep in mind, all men (and their penises) are different, so if you're unsure, it's always best to ask. And remember – no amount of clever gimmicks can replace sheer enthusiasm!

Getting started:
Use your fingertips all over his body as you undress him. When he's naked, follow your fingertips lightly with your mouth. Breathe on his penis. Make eye-contact every now and again. Compliment his smell and taste. Building up the tension now will shave minutes off later.

Hotting it up:
Even if he's not fully erect yet you can start by kissing and licking all over his penis. Either keep your tongue flat and soft like your licking an ice cream or make your tongue pointy and lick in little squiggles. Keep your tongue in constant motion and switch techniques. Massage and kiss/ lick/ suck his balls. But, and I cannot stress this enough, be tender!

Envelopment:
Take the head into your mouth, swirl your tongue around the rim, press into the frenelum and enjoy.

Going down:
There are two different ways to do this: either go down dramatically in one fell swoop or tease him by going down a little bit further with every downward stroke of your mouth. Hold one or two hands at the base of his penis to anchor him and to assist you with the up and down. Follow your mouth with your hands/ hands with your mouth. Keep your lips soft as if you're saying "prune" (a la Marilyn Monroe) to avoid scraping him with your teeth. If you think he's up for little teeth scraping or nibble, ask him. It's not very likely, but hey, you never know.

Get into a rhythm. Breathe through your nose. Loosen the pressure slightly as you exhale and go down and increase it when going up and inhaling. The suction action isn't nearly as important as the up-and-down action.

Once your in a comfortable rhythm, add your tongue into the mix. Roll it around the penis, stimulating the shaft (especially the underside) and head as you go up and down. Just don't pull hard in any direction.

Making the most of your mouth
It's really okay if you haven't mastered the art (or gimmick) of deep-throating. Most women haven't. Instead, as mentioned above, use your hands to create a longer sheath.

Tips and tricks
• Use your hand in a twisting motion around the head, (lightly!) as if you’re unscrewing something.
• Never stop moving your tongue. Flick, lick, circle, caress.
• Never break contact with the penis.

  • Feel free to hum and moan.

    Happy ending
    As he nears climax he'll probably want/need a firmer grip, more suction and a little more speed. Don't break your rhythm now and don't change anything when you realise he's on his way. (Seriously, whatever you do, don't stop now!)

    You decide whether you want to swallow, spit or finish with a little handwork.

    Seems like quite a mouthful? Relax. You're not a pornstar. And it's not like you're not getting marks for it. Just enjoy it. And remember, if you're unsure – use your mouth and ask!

    Do you think you give a good blowjob? Any tips to share with our readers?

    WHY ARE THERE NO TIPS IN YOUR COMMENTS COLUMN? I`M SURE A NUMBER OF LADIES HAVE READ THIS ARTICLE BY NOW !
    Tamara Jones 1/14/2009 4:11:38 PM
    Your hands are very important, move them up and down in opposite directions, this will create more fiction. And swallowing is easier if you take it all in one fell swoop and don't stop to think about it.
    Coco Beware 1/14/2009 6:08:48 PM
    My husband loves it when i give him a blowjob and stick my finger in his anus. Try it and you'll love it.
    shannon 1/14/2009 11:28:35 PM
    Man, you people have sunk to new lows. You are trash and so is this site. Bet you all get off on a circle jerk. Get a life an move on to the news.
    Alwyn 1/15/2009 7:30:23 AM
    It makes climaxing so much more pleasurable if you lift up your man's balls just before he comes. Not just lifting it but pushing it towards the penis.
    Dr David 1/15/2009 9:16:58 AM
    It's quite obvious from Shannon's comments that she's insecure about sex and she probably feels quite embarrassed about topics such as oral sex - she probably also blushes upon hearing the words 'clitoris' or 'pussy' or 'cock'... ;o)
    Riaan 1/15/2009 9:35:15 AM
    Not so sure about the gay spanking, swallowing and blond?s suck ass comment. However a good bj is like a good old fashion home made hamburger :-)
    Riaan 1/15/2009 9:37:38 AM
    And what?s up with the bolls? :p
    KK 1/15/2009 5:02:42 PM
    shannon,wake up, every man wants a freak in bed, and its not just a cliche, thats how you get to keep a man, if sex is not there or exciting enough, men will always go for the next best thing, probably without you knowing and you just stay as the wife looking after the kids.
    Lee 1/19/2009 9:00:19 AM
    Is something wrong with me, cos i really hate giving a BJ and my man loves it. i just feel its gross n it taste even worse.
    Poplap 1/19/2009 10:23:24 AM
    shannon, moenie goete lees as jy weet jy sal dit nie kan handle nie. Gaan lees daai resepte site..... Dit gaan oor education. Ek het dit die naweek probeer en oh my goodness...!!! My man is over the moon. Dankie, baie dankie vir die wonderlike bydraes, en die wonderlike artikel. Op n vars 50 het ek nou begin bj's gee....
    Delilla 1/19/2009 1:38:51 PM
    I bet if he uses soap and water before hand it won't taste all that bad!!!!
    Fictitious 1/20/2009 1:50:42 PM
    BJ's are really awesome although I don't get it often, I am regard myself as very lucky for having a girl who treats me with it. I just want to know one thing. Is it wrong to ask or beg [slightly] for a bj? Is there anything a man can do in order to receive it more often, as in monthly?
    Hans 1/25/2009 12:25:34 AM
    Poplap, shannon is reg.As jy resepte nodig het en ook jou binnekamer - sake bespreek waar almal dit kan lees wys jy net jy is in elk geval "useless" op alle gebiede - ook met seks!
    Miss Red 1/27/2009 12:17:03 PM
    I agree with lee I hate it. and like her my man loves it. Please help, what are we going wrong!!
    Tilly 1/30/2009 7:46:50 AM
    I love giving my man a BJ, he loves it too. The best part is when he's ready to come, he comes all over me and he loves to watch me rub it into my body and boobs, I get to lick his lizard, we just love it.
    L 11/6/2009 1:07:12 PM
    oooh, there's nothing like giving your man this pleasure! Come on Girls, you can do it ...

    Those who feel offended by sex and sex related topics, should just do us all a favour and close them and read what interests them.
    Its's anaybody's choice what to read and what not, it's like being a Christian and a Muslim
    Dr JJ 11/11/2009 10:03:10 AM
    I think this is very important for couple's who is married. A women has to be a wife and mother in the house and slutty in the bedroom. Blowjobs is sometimes better than making love and so vice versa for women. The wetter you make the willy and more slide there is , the more fun making it kinky. And as he climaxes to keep sucking is a very nice way of ending this fun as he will always love you more and more. a goog blowjob and bedroom makes the man always wanting to come home to you and not wanting to go anyware else, i know i'm a man!!
    NAS 11/26/2009 3:44:21 PM
    simply put to all the ladies out there if you wanna keep your man make him happy.A good BJ is all it takes.I u think telling him to take a shower b4 u do it wiil soun rude suggest taking a shower together clean him nice and lick your way to happiness besides the more u give the more you'll get.I know my hubby is clean so it's something I can do any time any place ...I LOVE SUCKING HIS COCK!!!!
    curious 3/11/2010 4:30:18 PM
    i am loving this article but i think it is about time we read about how men can give us pleasure. we also need a man who knows his job in the bedroom, not the one who thinks that as a woman is there only for his pleause. thanks for the lovely article, i always use some of your techniques on my boyfriend and he loves them.
    john 3/24/2010 2:48:22 PM
    My lady refuses to give me a bj.
    Although i had to hear that she has done it in the past with other guys.
    her excuse is 1. she doesnt like it and 2. coz of my size.
    Should I beblieve her?
    I think she still has an bj experience in her head from an ex. What woman dont give her man head wheter she like it or not? At least once in a blue moon. Yes we are maried.
    Jack 4/27/2010 9:52:07 AM
    @ John, you are qualify to find elsewhere with my full permission.
    James 6/25/2010 2:57:40 PM
    Spit and polish the head...My lady doesn't do BJ's yet she cant understand why an ex has left such an impression on me who used to do it outside mcdonalds in the car
    Selma 6/26/2010 10:31:09 PM
    To increase the pleasure for a woman paint the penis with chocolate sauce, peanut butter, honey, mayonaise, pasta sauce, crumbed biltong, cream cheese, ice cream, Amarula, melted Barone, Pepperment crisp, chocolate icing sugar, what ever you fancy and lick and nibble away. Make it a feast. I am not keen on BJ's but my husband loves it, so be creative and make it worthwhile for both of you. Or if you want to feats, tie a napkin around his testicles with the penis on top and cover with all you favourite snacks and munch away. Calamari rings, prawns, anything goes on a kebabs.

    My wife also don't want to give me a BJ.Can anyone help me,please?
    ooh la la 8/6/2010 4:33:31 PM
    My girlfriend loves giving me blowjobs, they are mindblowing every time. Recently she inserted a sex toy in my anus whilst giving me a BJ, and I tell you what, it was the best orgasm I have ever experienced. I'd never thought I'd be into "that" stuff but wow!
    gavin 8/6/2010 5:21:56 PM
    I am fed up with begging my girlfriend for a bj,I cant understand why its such a big deal deal. I have to wait months. The first opportunity I get with another woman I am going to take.
    JM 8/6/2010 5:42:26 PM
    "Massage and kiss/ lick/ suck his balls", lolol, you said 'Balls'
    Boo Hoo 8/7/2010 8:04:27 AM
    Why is it ALWAYS about pleasing the man??? What about us women?
    Lu 8/7/2010 8:30:18 AM
    I am not gay but any mouth giving a good BJ is GOOD!
    Helen 8/7/2010 10:41:40 AM
    Are articles like this REALLY necessary - what do we have to do to prevent our children from reading articles like these ???
    This is shocking and totally un-called for....there are books for those ingoramouses, sex-obessed people who need to read,do and discuss sex all day every day !!!
    VW 8/7/2010 2:23:46 PM
    I LOVE giving BJs to my man, and I'm good at it to.. His response really turns me on... Another trick is to massage the sensitive spot at the base of the penis between his balls and his ass - drives him crazy!
    Cape Malay 8/7/2010 3:36:55 PM
    Most women have no clue whatsoever on how to perform a good oral, please use lips not your front teeth when providing some oral. Women who do not have the front teeth provide the best BJs.
    JM 8/8/2010 12:34:15 AM
    Seems like Im in the same boat as a few of the ladies here. My bf loves getting blowjobs but sadly I hate it. I'll give him one if he asks but it is an unpleasant experience for me. Everytime I do it I gag on the taste and the feel in my mouth (and I only put his head in my mouth). I wish I could like it more because I know he enjoys it so much.
    Ander@curious 8/8/2010 3:44:09 AM
    The basics are more or less the same to pleasure a woman. Either a soft flat tongue licking mainly the clit, but also delving into the lips to the vagina, or a sharp pointy one continuously flicking the clit. Do both. Occasionally suck the clit into the mouth and give it a jiggle with the tongue. Sometimes press down on the pubis with the mouth - but only when the lady is already hot. No teeth - as with a willy a fanny is sensitive. Don't stop - keep going once started. Once the vagina is slippery slip a finger in and out - here is where the imagination can be used as to how far in etc - I find it best to let my wife dictate this. Also push up behind the pubis bone if using a finger. Hope this helps - and now be daring and have yourself blindfolded, :) if you enjoy that I'm sure your imagination can work out how far you go.
    Ander's wife 8/8/2010 3:56:30 AM
    To those whose partners are reluctant:
    Lets look at things we can change....
    1)some dicks do not taste too good - only she can tell you and this is an embarrasing topic, so just wash your willy off before going to bed and maybe use an oil with a flavour that she will like. Apart from the taste some oils also heighten the sensations. Go online if you are too embarrased to go into a shop.
    2)Having a hairless member is also a lot easier on the dame. If you can't bring yourself to shave it all off, why don't you first cut the hair as far back as you are comfortable with.
    3)Foreplay,foreplay,foreplay... lots of little kisses all over the body and all of a sudden giving a blowjob is just naturally the next step. I love giving a bj - and receiving
    niels 8/8/2010 9:45:38 AM
    Just keep your dirty mouth from my throbbing member. Really, girls, a little kiss is polite. A lick is fine. Heck, if you want to put the whole big monster in your mouth, you are most welcome. But it must never be more than a passing show.

    thanking you kindly
    Jack 8/8/2010 1:51:50 PM
    Very good article. More neede like this. Next on the list should be for the men: how to give a better muff dive...
    Nicky 8/8/2010 5:14:18 PM
    To those ladies who don't like it:
    I used to hate it... it creeped me out BIG time! Now though... I never feel sexier and I love having all the power to make my man squirm!
    If he loves it then you are already doing something right... Don't be shy to ask him to shower... mine knows it's not happening in the morning or after a long day unless he's cleaned up and on th eflip side I don't expect it from him either!
    bj lover 8/9/2010 9:28:42 AM
    I hear some of the ladies here complaining about the taste?. Here is a tip. For 3 days before a bj (tricky i know) the guy must avoid, dairy products, caffine, alcohol and red meat. Also try to drink a lot of pineapple juice. Lol! Dont know why pineapple juice, but it does make it taste sweeter. So there u go guys and girls, give it a go and enjoy the bj!
    hcajee 8/9/2010 10:27:44 AM
    HAHAHAHa
    Michael 8/9/2010 10:43:41 AM
    What if a kid reads this section? Its going to give him more reasons to start having sex with a girl before marriage and possible even before hes 18. "hot or not", movies with athletic, muscular men and skinny women with large breasts, magazines with models on the front cover, and now sex advise on news websites, you people are hypocrites, you gladly contribute to the message the media is conveying about how sex-orientated everything is , but then gasp in shock when you hear about a young boy raping a young girl in a school. If we give in to our primitive desires without restrictions, we will go back to acting like animals, freedom without resriction will result in disastrous consequences. This section needs to be removed.

    I'm busy working on a law assignment at my office with my study partner who also happens to be my boyfriend and decided to give him head while he works on his assignment and he loved it! only managed to write two words the whole time! lol
    Andrea 8/9/2010 8:45:47 PM
    To all those who think Shannon is a prude, bear in mind that news24 is NOT censored, so if you're happy with your 13 year old daughter reading this article, fine! Would it be too much to ask that this type of article is kept off the news24 home page. Those who really want to read about this will find a way - why not make it a subscription service?
    Jason 8/10/2010 10:12:40 AM
    A clean penis is the key here! If you have a foreskin, ensure that you wash the creases below the skin and around the base of the head.
    bytjies 8/10/2010 11:10:30 AM
    i also hated bj's.... untill i tried flavoured lube......... I LOVE it. i started enjoying it with flavoured lube, then went to normal lube, now i dont need any lube to do it and i still love it. and my bf always says "do what you do bes, babe" lol
    Mr B 8/10/2010 11:29:01 AM
    Any organisation with a little common sense/decency would make this a subscription/login type service... I'm no prude, enjoy sex, and talking about it... but this is a public access site... come on Women24 you can do better... there are better ways to generate readership stats for advertisers than using these cheap tricks!
    bj lover 8/10/2010 11:32:24 AM
    sorry, but i have to ask the age old question! To the guys and girls who are saying how trashy etc etc, this article and replies are. Why did u read it??
    Fan of Preshen 8/10/2010 1:29:54 PM
    Also try humming during bj, its gives it a great sensation
    Preshen gOVENDER 8/10/2010 1:32:21 PM
    Mean people spit,good people swallow,great
    BRAGNIE JEAN 8/10/2010 1:34:28 PM
    Imagine the same mouth that give you head kisses your children to sleep

    @john,You should get a vacuum clean instead
    james 8/10/2010 1:36:06 PM
    not sure why no woman has worked this out yet but there are no hands on the cock in a good bj. none!
    COCO 8/11/2010 10:46:53 AM
    I love to give my man a good and hard bj and he loves it when my pussy is al wet.
    Poison Ivy 8/11/2010 4:11:49 PM
    If not for dull marriages, this will definetly help relationships
    nonilove 8/11/2010 5:50:51 PM
    spitting is rude ladies, try not to do that.
    LC 8/11/2010 5:56:41 PM
    Hmm, I appreciate this but what about safe sex for people who are on the prowl? Shouldn't you be adding a paragraph on giving a BJ with a condom? Seriously, this should be discussed. It's all good being sexy and reckless in a committed relationship but if not...?
