The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus by Violet Blue Read Free Book Online Page A

have to stop any licking you were doing—so to avoid interrupting her orgasm, plan on replacing the stimulation your mouth was providing with either your fingers or a sex toy. An interruption on the verge of orgasm could be very disappointing; be sure to have your toy and technique planned ahead of time so you don’t miss a beat.
     
    Of course, you may be really turned on by the thought of being right there when she comes in your face, and find this very special form of face-bathing incredibly hot. You’ll want to keep licking her as she comes, but be prepared to get it in your mouth and to possibly swallow some. It’s perfectly safe to swallow, but this activity is definitely for partners who are “fluid-bonded” and don’t need to practice safer sex. For more information on safer sex and fluid-bonding , see chapter 4, “Health Considerations.”
     
Now and then I’ve had a woman ejaculate unexpectedly while I was going down on her. It’s a pretty big surprise if your face is between her legs and suddenly there’s a squirt of fluid you’re not planning on. At the same time, though, I have to admit it was an unexpected turn-on the first time it happened. I had heard so much about female ejaculation, and that it was this big empowering female thing—but I had never had a woman “squirt” when I was with her. Then all of a sudden it happened and I was like, wow, cool. I was so pleased that I’d finally experienced it that I didn’t have time to be grossed out or anything like I might have thought I would. After that I was used to it, so it never bothered me one bit—I think it’s cool, whenever it happens.

     

CHAPTER 4
     
    Health Considerations
     
    Nature is opportunistic: if there’s an opening in any environment, it will be filled by whatever gets there first and finds the circumstances hospitable—such as bugs, germs, diseases, and infections. If you make yourself a good enough host and invite them on in, they’ll waste no time making themselves at home and taking over the joint. In the realm of sex, becoming a good host means anything from having unprotected sex to being weakened by illness or unsafe lube and toy practices to being a careless (or unknowing) carrier of unfriendly bugs.
     

Is Cunnilingus a Risky Behavior?
     
    Unprotected cunnilingus carries a lower risk for the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) than unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse (with a penis or a just-shared, unprotected sex toy), or unprotected fellatio, but there is risk involved—for both the giving and the receiving partner.
     
    Some STDs are easier to transmit than others. Let’s look at the most common STDs and their relative risks for transmission during cunnilingus.
     

HIV
     
    HIV is transmitted when the blood of an infected person enters another person’s bloodstream via an open cut, sore, or blood vessel. According to the Centers for Disease Control, HIV has also been found in varying amounts in semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears. The CDC cautions against the blood of an infected person making contact with mucous membranes. If you perform unprotected cunnilingus with a menstruating partner, you may be at risk, especially if you have a cut or sore on your lips or in your mouth (perhaps from recently brushing or flossing your teeth). As we all know, while great strides have been made in managing HIV infection, there is no cure for HIV. The virus can lie dormant in the body for a very long time and can be transmitted even when there are no symptoms present. The person infected with HIV may not even know they have it. In women, symptoms of HIV infection can resemble those of other STDs, such as recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease.
     

Hepatitis
     
    Hepatitis A, B, and C infect millions of people worldwide and can be asymptomatic for years before liver disease is evident. Hepatitis A is transmitted through oral-fecal contact and can be contracted when rimming an
