Tango, the magazine for couples but really for women who want to be in relationship, has an exciting expose about oral sex:

Oral sex is arguably even more intimate than intercourse. It can be intensely pleasurable for men and—because of direct clitoral stimulation that’s all but impossible during intercourse—especially women.

Problems arise, however, because oral sex can tap into a wide range of insecurities, fears, and neuroses. Pleasuring someone is usually a solo performance, which can be nerve-racking. If you’re giving it, you need to be extremely comfortable with, as biologists say, your partner’s crotch. Conversely, if you’re receiving it, you need to be extremely comfortable with your own. The net result can leave one or both partners wanting more, wanting less— or simply wanting to beat their heads against a wall.

Just something to think about while stroll the internet for Martin Luther King Day casual sex.
