Embarrassed during first cunnilingus?

I used to date this beautiful woman and when we started having sex and I would try to go down on her, she would push me away and tell me “it’s sexier when you’re up here”, meaning just kissing her. Well I didn’t give up and kept trying and one night she just gave in and let me do it….she LOST HER MIND!! When she came her legs were shaking and she couldn’t believe how it felt. She had been previously married so it’s not like sex was new to her, but no one had ever gone down on her before which I found so surprising. After that eating her was never a problem and she would sometimes lower her self on my face when she wanted it…..I LOVED when she did that! I so miss her…..she was the love of my life!!

@roscoe Yours is a horrible hazing activity. Of course, I had to wash the smile off my face in a toilet but it had been sanitized; however, I didn't know it at the time.

I still get shy about it, sometimes. To spread my legs open at all, is such a vulnerable position. Something, deep down inside me fears that vulnerability. It's deep rooted. Once I let go though, and enjoy the moment of that experience, most of that goes out the window. I have to be in the right head space

I’m a bit exhibitionist, I’ve never been embarrassed receiving oral sex, I like when a lover explores my pussy with his hands or with his mouth.

Yeah, I was worried he wouldn't like the way I tasted and stuff, but luckily that wasn't the case

@ddell2: It was not uncommon to walk into a communal bathroom in the sorority house on a Friday or Saturday afternoons and smell one of the Cupid's Quiver scents.

I had a sorority sister who quipped about guys who were apprehensive about cunnilingus: "Once you get past the smell you have it licked."

@Emom Same in my sorority house. Dare I say? "With Quip's Quiver at least we didn't all smell and taste the same!"

We had a girl in the sorority house who was an advertising major. She used to make up ads for Cupid Quiver based on other ads at the time. Below you will find a couple that I remember:

Aren't you glad you use Cupid's Quiver? Your lover does.

Cupid's Quiver Your lover will love you for it.

Good to the last lick!

@ddell2: Many of the girls in our house douched after a date, but I was momentarily surprised to find some who did before a date. Once I figured it out I have to admit I was embarrassed. But it made sense then.

@Emom Was cunnilingus taboo?

That's funny! I remember my sister having the spray! She's 13 years older than me and that 1 decade made a difference. We were told not to use douches/sprays. It's amazing how much money people made by convincing women they were intrinsically gross and needed to use these products to perfect themselves (meanwhile I shave my legs, pits, and bits, spend an ungodly amount of money at Sephora and other places designed to keep time at bay).

@Nurse_Phillips I've performed cunnilingus a number of times and I honestly don't see where douching would help in the situation (except if menstruating). You want the outside clean, that's all.

Jacana is from France and he ought to know.

Actually I want mine clean inside and out.

@ddell2 I don't think cunnilingus was specially popular in France historically.. I've read some sociology books about contraception and apparently just doing oral / digital was not something people thought about.

If I had all the money that I spent since I was 12 on health and beauty aids I would be able to buy that Lamborghini SUV that I covet. Actually I wouldn't buy a Lamborghini SUV for I think it's silly to spend that much on a car but I do love to hear the man at the club start his up.

@Jacana

Back in seventh grade Brooklyn the ditty went:

The French they are a funny race

They fight with their feet

And fuck with their face

I was embarrassed and nervous because I was a teenager and had so many thoughts racing through my head. He was 3 years older than me with a lot of experience. I had already let him touch it and see it, but he kept saying he wanted to kiss it and lick it. After thinking and imagining what it would feel like for weeks, I eventually let him do it in my living room when no one was home, and I could hear if anyone was coming. Once the electricity shot through my body, the embarrassment was gone. lol

When I was making out with boys, I didn't want cunnilingus because I was unsure about how I smelled. Once I had been married for a while, I overcame my shyness and was able to experience amazing orgasms.

Can I ask a question to all ladies here, such as @peti, who were embarrassed how they "smelled" down there? Were you too shy to ask your partner what he (or she) felt about the issue when going down on you?

@Jacana I've always thought oral sex was associated with the French like anal sex with the Greeks. I admit that it might be misconceptions.

In a word: yes. I didn’t have a partner I was comfortable enough to ask that question to until my current husband.

@ddell2 agreed. In the US at least for years oral was called ‘a French’ or ‘doing it the French way’ just as anal was called ‘The Greek Way’

@Jacana I concur with @Nurse_Phillips. I am sure most of us were. However asking such a question in our early years was out of the question.

Yes, I was embarrassed. I was afraid of not being clean enough but it was good, otherwise I would have soaped my cunny so much, that the taste of soap would have scared that wonderful tongue off. Still I blushed a lot and it was all worth it!
