Ever wonder if you are any good at oral sex? Oh go on... of course you do. Well, we thought it's by time you brush up on those special blow his, er, mind skills.

Because, like diamonds, fellatio skills are forever.

Here are some basic blowjob pointers, as gleaned from a dinner table full of gay men at midnight, once their tongues had been loosened by plenty of champagne. (Loosened in the narrative sense, clearly). Ah, the things we do for our readers...

Tip 1: Get to know your man
Each man is different, and you will need to discover what turns your guy on. What blows one bloke, may bore another. Ask him in a teasing way how he likes it and what techniques drive him wild. Remember that the brain is the most powerful sexual organ. Get his engines all fired up by getting him thinking and fantasising.

Tip 2: Become his fantasy
Once you get to know what makes your boy tick, if you want to please him, you must become his fantasy. You will feel great knowing that you are his dream girl, and can give it to him like no other babe. Sex is about chemistry, role play, dominance and submission. Have fun and learn how to play the game. If you are having fun, so will he. Don't take sex too seriously. No one wants to have sex with Mother Theresa or the Queen of England!

Tip 3: Don't look like you're eating a mielie!
Half his thrill is watching you, so don't look like you're drowning; eating a mielie; or God forbid, look like a hamster gnawing on his nuts! The easiest way to get it right is to "blow like you're being filmed". Exaggerate each movement and play up for an imaginary camera.

Tip 4: Make eye contact
Sex is a "contact sport", so make eye contact with him to let him know that it is him in your heart and mind. There is nothing more intimate than eye contact, so lock eyes from time to time and heighten the intensity of what is happening between you.

Tip 5: Improve your technique
If you already know what gets him moaning, that's a good start. Talk dirty as you go along and let him lead you to the next technique. Variety is the key to success as too much of any technique gets boring. Experiment with speed, depth, direction, and the tip of your tongue. Let your hands act as your co-workers as they pump and caress him. Vary pressure and let his reaction show you what you need to do.

Tip 6: Temperature
Experiment with temperature to heighten his sensation. Suck an ice cube before you start, to make him tingle as you titillate him. A bit later, swirl some neat alcohol around in your mouth to heat him up. For the bolder babes, massage him up with tiger balm to make him super frisky (WARNING! Do not use Deep Heat or Vicks otherwise the hose you will be bringing into the bedroom will be bigger than his!)

Tip 7: Exotic locations
There is no rule which states that you have to give a b.j. in the bedroom. The joy of a blowjob is that it can be performed almost anywhere. In fact, the more exciting the place, the more exciting the experience. There is only one rule: don't get caught! With this in mind, why not give it a go in the car; a change cubicle in a shopping centre; someone's dinner party; the office, or give a natural treat on a deserted beach or forest.

And don't forget...
