Position of the Week: Word of Mouth

You’ve got to know about Word of Mouth. This partnered oral sex position lets one partner lie back and relax, while the other partner goes to town delivering sweet sensations to their clitoris, penis, or balls; a true classic.

How?

The receiving partner lies on their back, with their legs parted and knees bent. The giving partner gets on their knees and places their hands on their lover’s peachy cheeks. Once in position, the giving partner can draw their face in close and use their mouth to lick, suck, and kiss their partner’s intimate areas.

Why?

This position asks the receiver to place complete trust in their partner, who can tease them with light sensations at first and ramp things up as they go.

Meanwhile, the receiver can fully recline and become immersed in every sensation as their lover lavishes them with attention.

Try

Word of Mouth is great, but a little bit of silence can also be thrilling when you add a breathable ball gag. Try it out if you’re new to restraint play – it’s perfect for beginners and can look irresistibly seductive.

For more tantalising oral sex, slather on your favourite flavoured lubricant.

And what if the receiver finds oral sex challenging? It can be a vulnerable experience, so take your time to help them feel comfortable and find out what they like.

Take hold of each other’s hands and get the receiver to squeeze when something feels good – you'll soon find out exactly what gets them going.

Make it even easier

Pretty much everyone gets to recline here, so it’s a great position to explore if you use a mobility aid. A sex position wedge can also help the receiving partner keep their hips elevated, if that’s more comfortable.

If kneeling directly on the floor isn’t an option, take it to bed or get a folded blanket under those knees.

Make it even better

Word of Mouth is all about pleasuring your lover, so the way more ways you can arouse them, the better!

While the giver kisses and licks away, they can try inserting a finger or G-spot vibrator for all-round pleasure. Just make sure you have plenty of water-based lube to hand.

And if your tongue is getting tired, fear not. A flickering tongue vibrator mimics the sensation of oral sex and frees you up to kiss your lover all over their erogenous zones.

Prefer a little anal play? Combine cunnilingus or fellatio with a vibrating butt plug for extra heightened sensations.

Not the position for you?
