It has been over a year since I’ve had some oral sex.How can I hint to my boyfriend that I would like him to do it, when I’m not sure if he’s into it?I’m not even sure if he’s tried it.... - Anon

Dear Anon, Assuming you are a woman wanting to ask your partner for oral sex, well you have come to the right place for this one! Many of us people (no matter gender) go through this at some point in our lives. It can be embarrassing to ask. But have no fear! Just ask - and this is what Salty Vixen suggests!

Asking for oral sex makes a lot of people feel weird, but if you never ask he's never going to know that you want it.

If you don't feel comfortable just asking right out, "honey would you please eat me out?"or whispering into his ear, "I'd really love it if you went down on me right here, right now," there are some ways that you can hint about what you'd like to try:

You could rent/download a porn that is heavy on cunnilingus to watch with him and show how excited you are about oral; ask him what he thinks about it, if he's ever done it, or just mention that you've always wondered what a particular thing felt like. Like the alphabet thing - tell him that you've always wanted to know what that feels like.

You could pick up some edible lube (or some whipped cream or icing) and suggest a game: you drip it wherever you want and he has to lick it up, then he gets a turn to drip while you lick. This way you can subtly guide his mouth to where you want it to be. Just make sure that you make enough noise when he gets there so that he knows that this is an excellent place for his tongue (lovers learn well from noisy reactions). [FYI: always be careful with sugar around your vag, do your best not to get any inside - it's sweet enough - and you'll avoid a yeast infection.]

You could also suggest a 69 - that way you'll both get attention and it might help introduce him to the idea of giving you oral.
Or you could invite him to play a game of revealing fantasies, you tell him things that you would like to try and he can tell you things that he would like to try. Then you can discuss together what each of you are willing to actually do.
