to avoid injury in the past, I have cycled through techniques - the tongue circling around the clit, sucking the clit back and forth and loosely, sucking the clit more intensely, etc. but this can take a while to build to orgasm (alternating techniques is less tightly rhythmic, for example)

recently I’ve noticed pressing the tongue broadly and with force on and around the clit is really effective, but the problem I run into is that the cadence and build-up sort of lock me into continuing to do that, often faster and at least with similar or more force

this approach gave me a wound that appeared the next day, on the frenulum of the tongue (the little bridge under the tongue), probably from where my teeth rubbed against it?

obviously the tongue and jaw can feel sore, too - but soreness is fine, while having a wound is more problematic

any tips?

    I’m kind of accustomed to jaw ache at this point. I find that sucking pretty hard on the clit while going side to side with my tongue works well as does the “fat kid at an all you can eat cake buffet technique” essentially making out with the whole assemblage ( sucking on the labia, clit and gently raking my bottom teeth over the clit). But specifics of technique are very individual so take what I say with a pinch of salt.

    Also my current partner kind of likes it when I chew on a habanero before going down on her so that’s something to consider. Absolutely clear that with your partner first though. It’s not the sort of thing you should surprise someone with. 🤪🔥

    Gum! Just enough to line your bottom teeth. Can be a barrier. Also, look into teeth night guards. You wouldn’t need the top part. Just bottom.

    I’m going to try your pressure tech. Keep the wife guessing

      oh interesting - I could try that!

      For the pressure tech, some of my troubleshooting was figuring out the right height. Getting the surrounding labia is part of the appeal, but you still want most of the force right on the clit, and finding the right part of the clit will vary depending on arousal, sensitivity, etc.

      but yeah, it worked really well once I figured out where to best apply it 😁

      yes! I definitely use fingers, too - I just also like to give head and to find paths to orgasm by different means. Especially if I’m growing my nails out 😄

          ha, I do sometimes manage my nails that way - I just hate the way it looks. I don’t mind the index finger and thumb being short, but the middle finger being short while the ring finger is long bothers me. It’s worse because I play bass with my right hand, so both hands occasionally have to be clipped that way.

    I’m here for tips, I know just what you’re talking about, but no clue what to do about it.

    I’ve even considered trying to find a body mod place that would cut the frenulum to try and get a longer tongue. Lol

      huh, I don’t feel like I need a longer tongue per se, but maybe finding a way to protect the frenulum from my teeth and some tongue strengthening exercises and stretches might help? 🤷‍♀️
