The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus (19 page)

She parted her lips, and I saw the glint of the metal piercing on her tongue. “Follow me,” she mouthed silently. As it was what I was already doing, I simply continued, my eyes on her lithe body as I walked behind her up the stairs at the back of the house. Up to a series of empty bedrooms. We chose the first, undressing as soon as she shut and locked the door behind us, falling into the bed in our haste. Then we were on each other. Hands exploring. Tongues testing.

I’d like to say that we spent hours on foreplay, but we didn’t. We got down to serious business right away. After all, we didn’t know when we’d be interrupted. Still, I took my time, teasing her, pleasing her, memorizing the curves and valleys of her body.

Carrie twisted her fingers through my long, dark hair, stroking it, and she sighed and whispered nonsense words that sounded like music. My new lover liked what I was doing. I could tell. Encouraged, I pressed my lips against a pussy that had a musky scent of real life to it. Not the antiseptic flavor of an overly douched cunt. Not the floral nonsense you read about in romance novels. Nobody smells like lavender. Nobody tastes like rose petals. People have real smells and flavors, and that’s what makes them sexy.

This lovely vixen had a scent that was tinted with the smell of body lotion but tasted of honest, warm skin beneath it. Her wetness lingered on my lips and on my tongue. I lapped at her, thrust my tongue deep inside her, felt the inner ridges of her body. But before I could get her off, she pushed me back on the bed and swiveled over me, positioning herself with her mouth over my sex and her pussy poised just before my lips. Again, I opened my mouth to taste her, but this time, as soon as my tongue connected with her skin, I felt her tongue probing me down below, echoing my actions.

The silver metal ball in the center of her tongue tapped against my clit. This sensation sent a surge of pleasure through me. Concentric circles started in my pussy and radiated out to the tips of my fingers and toes, like ripples in a lake moving outward toward the shore. It was delicious, how she used the metal ball to start me up, following with the flat of her tongue like a tool to tickle my nether lips, to probe between them. I didn’t stop making spirals with my own tongue, but I began to buck against my lover’s mouth as she worked me.

Carrie knew what she was doing. She made the same circles with her tongue that I make with my fingers whenever I climax solo. Even better than what she was doing with her tongue was her steady monologue. While she worked me, she continued to murmur those nonsense words, saying, “my sweet girl,” and “that’s right, pretty thing,” and “come on, baby.”

Her voice sent vibrations swelling throughout my whole body, echoing and reechoing. This was intense, hearing her voice as I felt it, and soon, I was coming, my inner muscles rapidly contracting, pulling in hard and fast. Knowingly, she slid two fingers up inside my cunt and let me squeeze and release them while I climaxed. I tightened on her fingers, spasms building and receding while my breathing caught in my chest, until I was leaning up in the bed, pulling her body harder against mine. She came a moment later, as if spurred on by my pleasure, and I felt the tremors silently wash through her until once again she was still.

I thought we’d take a break then. Roll languidly in the rumpled sheets. Trace our fingers over each other’s bodies. Relax and remember how to breathe once again. She had other plans.

In the hazy darkness, she rolled me over, and then I felt her hands parting my rear cheeks, her lips meeting my peachlike split. Kissing me there. Licking me. I closed my eyes tight at the decadent sensation as she spread my heart-shaped cheeks even wider apart, stretching me open. Air touched the wet places she’d kissed, and I shivered. Each move she made back there sent new waves of pleasure through my pussy. And then I felt that metal ball come into play as her tongue thrust into my asshole.

The silvery ball stroked me inside as her tongue went in deep. I moaned out loud, couldn’t help it, and brought one hand down beneath my body, stroking my clit as she continued to tongue-fuck my ass. Nothing had ever felt that extreme. My pussy pulsed and twitched, my heart raced, and soon, too soon, I was coming again. Shaking the bed. My lover held onto my waist with her hands, keeping me steady as she licked my hole through the orgasm.

Extending it. Stretching it. Taking me to places I hadn’t known existed outside of fantasies, and making them real.

CHAPTER 10

Independent Study: Erotic Books and Videos

Not only can you find plenty of inspiration in salacious books and explicit videos—they also make fantastic sex toys. You can give a lover a book or video to peruse on their own, or you can read a book aloud as they masturbate. Better yet, put the woman you’re going down on in the driver’s seat, reading the book or watching the TV screen, and add to the excitement while she’s occupied. I’m going to suggest many different books and videos, and while they may not be for everyone, they’re the cream of the crop, and they deliver the goods when it comes to turning folks on and getting them off. Combine your preferences with these suggestions to make your decisions and find what’s hot for you.

Recommended Reading

Today’s selection of erotica is of unlimited scope, and there are many terrific authors and collections to choose from. Most women-focused erotica is written by women, and the stories center around the female characters and their pleasure—bettering your chances of finding something you and she will like, and having the stories contain cunnilingus scenes.

Black Lace is a British series by women, for women, with oodles of novels that are like romance novels with very explicit sex. They are almost exclusively heterosexually oriented, and you’ll find only a couple of short story collections in their roster, so they’re good if you’re looking for a long book you can sink your teeth into. In publisher Blue Moon’s books, you’ll find male and female authors, as well as Victorian erotica collections. Victorian erotica often contains things we consider taboo, such as incest, and cunnilingus scenes are few and far between. As for Blue Moon fiction, the quality can be sketchy. The
Best Women’s Erotica
series is a combination heterosexual and lesbian anthology of short stories by and for women that comes out yearly, with an always-changing lineup of the best stories the genre produced in a given year.
Herotica
is the yearly women-produced, women-focused anthology series that pioneered the for-women field, and they have yearly editions as well. Both series contain explicit sex scenes, yet both have distinctively different flavors in their selections—thumb through them and gauge your response.

Best Lesbian Erotica
is also a best-of yearly series but with only lesbian stories, and it smartly covers the spectrum and variations embodied in the many permutations of queer identity. It’s a lot more true than most to the modern realities of lesbian sex, so if you’re looking for cunnilingus in standard depictions of femme-on-femme erotica, you might want to look to books published by Black Lace.
Best of the Best Lesbian Erotica
is just that: it never fails to be a good investment, because the stories are always excellent and interesting.
Best Bisexual Women’s Erotica
is an anthology series that features stories written by and for bisexual women. The stories feature women who have sex with both men and women and who identify as straight, lesbian, or bisexual, or don’t identify as anything; these stories introduce us to the sexual realities of bisexual women and the heat of bi sex.

Here are my top ten favorite lesbian and heterosexual cunnilingus short stories in contemporary erotica:

Sex Guides

Sex guides are a horse of a different stripe. Lots of them come out every year, and while some look fine at the starting gate, many are fatally handicapped. On the negative side, they can be judgmental about preferences, fetishes, and orientations, or they can be ill-informed and contain inaccurate sex information. Good guides inform and don’t sacrifice integrity for entertainment. I also don’t like sex guides that don’t have any substance and seem like picture books combined with New Age poetry. What’s worse are guides whose tone toward women puts you off—be they written by men or women who must elevate or denigrate female sexuality to make it palatable, or use instant-gratification sports terms. Put the tired old sexist attitudes out to pasture, please.

When buying a sex guide, take a good look at it first. Do you like the tone, or is it too dry or condescending? See when it was published and if it’s been revised recently (within the past five years) to reflect current information. Try to look something up: Is the information easy to find? Does it have substance that you can use in a practical situation? Look up something nonmainstream such as S/M to see if the book has a judgmental attitude toward it—even if the practice isn’t for you, the author’s sex-negative attitudes may hinder your exploration of other areas you might be interested in. And finally, does it have illustrations or pictures? You’ll need them, so make sure they’re there.

Most overall sex guides have very tiny, sadly superficial treatments of cunnilingus—you get the feeling that they just didn’t know what to say. But it is possible to find some great sex books to extend your sexual scope that will tie into your cunnilingual expertise and round out your sex life. Complete information on the following books can be found in chapter 12, “References.”

As general sex guides go,
The New Good Vibrations Guide to Sex
by Cathy Winks and Anne Semans (Cleis Press, 1997) is a good cornerstone of any library; it’s the most modern standard around for sex information with a pleasure-centric approach, lots of sex practices that many people actually engage in but other guides won’t include, and lots of sex toy info.
The Guide to Getting it On!
by Paul Joannides (Goofy Foot Press, 2000) is heterocentric and the tone is unbearably casual at times, but it’s gigantic (over six hundred pages), has accurate information, and has sections not found in other tomes, such as a disabilities chapter. Every person who has sex with women should read
The Whole Lesbian Sex Book
by Felice Newman (Cleis Press, 1999). Although it’s for lesbians, it is the most complete resource around on having sex with women, and it has a fantastic tone.

There are many books on specific topics that relate to subjects covered in this book; they’ll help you dig deep into what interests you. By far the best book out there on S/M and how to do it is Patrick Califia’s
Sensuous Magic
(Cleis Press, 2001) Califia mixes practical advice with scorchingly hot short stories to make a book that inspires and energizes on every level.
Come Hither
by Gloria Brame (Fireside, 2000) is a wonderful book about becoming interested in S/M and has unbeatable information on talking to your partner about it, or coping with your partner’s wishes when they don’t match up with yours. Jack Morin’s
The Erotic Mind
(Harperperennial Library, 1996) is older than most of the books I’m recommending, but it’s very good; it explores the mind-set of having healthy, happy sex and digs deep into sex within long-term relationships.

Women who got fired up about sex while reading this book have many books to choose from to stoke the flames. Betty Dodson, the mother of self-love, is a sex therapist who helps women learn to have orgasms, or have better or different ones than they’re already having. Her book
Sex for One
is a wonderful exploration of masturbation and orgasm, perfect for further masturbatory study. For getting deep into women’s orgasm and sexuality, and finding great advice about achieving orgasm when you have not been able to, check out the beautiful and practical
When the Earth Moves
by Mikaya Heart (Celestial Arts, 1998). Women who strive to become more sexually adventurous will want to read Carol Queen’s
Exhibitionism for the Shy
(Down There Press, 1995), which gave me the courage and motivation to learn how to talk dirty in bed—you can learn exactly that in her book.
The Survivor’s Guide to Sex
by Staci Haines (Cleis Press, 1999) is the first and only practical book for people who have survived trauma and/or abuse and want to have a fully present, satisfying and healthy sex life—it’s indispensable. You can learn more about anal sex for women in the landmark book
The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women
by Tristan Taormino (Cleis Press, 1997). And though not strictly about sex, but about being a sexual woman, the collection of essays by
New York Times
science writer Natalie Angier,
Woman: An Intimate Geography
(Anchor, 2000), is incredibly informative and entertaining.
