Episode 436: A Definitive Guide To Better Oral Sex

38 minutes

Oral sex is one of the most popular bedroom activities. However, while most people say that it can be highly pleasurable, it doesn’t always feels great. So in today’s show, we’re going to talk about how to make oral sex better. Specifically, we’ll explore tips and techniques from the Pleasure Mechanics for being both a good giver and receiver, including what to do if you find yourself getting bored giving oral sex.

I am joined by Chris Maxwell Rose and Charlotte Mia Rose, co-creators of PleasureMechanics.com. They have devoted their lives to generating online resources to support folks in cultivating more erotic pleasure, joy, and connection. They also run a podcast called Speaking of Sex with the Pleasure Mechanics.

Some of the specific topics we explore include:

Why is the idea that there’s just one perfect “recipe” for oral sex a myth?

How do you deal with common roadblocks that interfere with your ability to enjoy performing oral sex, like boredom or discomfort?

What are some new positions or approaches that can elevate oral experiences?

What should you do if oral sex feels like it has become a duty or obligation instead of something you love doing?

What are the key factors that make oral sex great?
