It involves pleasuring your partner (or receiving pleasure) by using the mouth and tongue on their genitalia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/national-69-day-2.jpeg\" alt=\"national 69 day\" width=\"660\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/national-69-day-2.jpeg 660w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/national-69-day-2-300x150.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 69 position in particular means that both partners give and receive oral sex simultaneously! Flip the numbers 69 sideways and you can get the idea. One partner lies on their back while the other gets on top of them in a genitalia-to-mouth position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not as logistically complicated as it seems, but here are some things to keep in mind during your first time engaging in 69 or oral sex in general.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Time Oral Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/communication-as-a-tool-for-better-sex\/\">Talk to your partner<\/a> before you start engaging in oral sex.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out what they would like and ask them to be vocal during the act to guide you into giving them the best oral sex possible. Also make it clear to them that if they aren\u2019t enjoying it, you can stop at any time. It can be just as nerve-wracking for the receiver as it can be for the giver.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice general hygiene.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a rule of thumb, wash your genitals and hands before engaging in any type of sex. It\u2019s not only something respectful you can do for your partner since they\u2019ll be getting up close and personal, it\u2019s also good practice to keeping your genitals free of bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your hands to get things going.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially if you\u2019re giving oral to a penis, you\u2019ll want to use your hands to get it stimulated and hard. It\u2019s not necessary per se, but incorporating a hand into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/give-perfect-blowjob\/\">blowjob<\/a> is more stimulating for the receiver and takes some relief off your mouth. You don\u2019t have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/deep-throat-beginners-guide\/\">deep throat<\/a> if you\u2019re not comfortable and you can just focus on the head of the penis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, you could stimulate the clitoris or vagina with your hand while you give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/pussy-eating-101\/\">oral sex<\/a>. Some people prefer combination stimulation or stimulating the clitoris externally while stimulating the vagina through penetration, in this case, with your fingers since your genitalia are busy getting stimulated. Some people also prefer just the tongue providing stimulation, so this is something you could bring up beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your partner has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/how-to-use-clit-sucker-sila-with-your-partner\/\">sex toy they love<\/a>, you can even incorporate that into oral sex or 69.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slow it down.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As assumption that most people have when it comes to sex is that the faster it is, the better. It\u2019s actually not the case at all. Sometimes slowing things down can make them more intense and focus all the pleasure in one area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use slow, circular motions or slow, full-tongue licks to stimulate your partner. You can play around with different motions and read your partner\u2019s body language and ask them what they\u2019re enjoying to adjust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQ: What does cum taste like?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of factors that influence the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/what-does-cum-actually-taste-like\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">taste of cum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Its general composition includes 2\/3 semen and 1\/3 fluid from the prostate gland. It can taste anywhere from salty, to bitter, to sweet, to almost nothing at all. There are even some lifestyle changes you can make to change the taste of your cum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQ: How does vagina taste?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like cum, the taste of vagina can vary from person to person. It can also vary during different parts of the menstrual cycle, where discharge changes due to fluctuating hormones. Similarly to ejaculation from a penis, it contains <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fructose, glucose, and prostatic acid phosphatase. Basically, it can also taste salty, bitter, or sweet, and have changes in texture and color.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQ: Do I need to clean my vagina before oral sex?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like stated previously, just make sure your hygiene is good. There is no need to do more than you would during a normal shower. There is no need to douche your vagina before engaging in oral sex. Douching can actually get rid of healthy bacteria that exist in your vagina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also absolutely no reason to be self-conscious about the smell or taste of your vagina. It is perfectly normal to have a scent and pheromones actually play an exciting role in attraction and intimacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re trying the 69 position, giving or receiving oral sex, or looking for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/review-ora-3\/\">oral sex stimulator to masturbate with<\/a>, we hope you have a very tasty 69 Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like any other type of sex, oral sex, or \u201c69-ing\u201d, can be done in different ways.
