For many people, oral sex has a bit of an emotional implication as well as a sexual one. Getting in touch with your sexuality and your sexual needs is great for your physical wellness and wellbeing, but if you have an emotional roadblock in the way stopping you from exploring every area of your desires, it can lead to frustration.
A lot of women feel anxious about oral sex because it is a particularly intimate act, and they may shy away from it for a number of reasons.
Firstly, many women are unaware of the pleasure that oral sex can provide. If it is not something that they regularly enjoy, it can lead to them shutting themselves off to this whole are of physical pleasure, and denying themselves the sensual experience that oral stimulation can provide.
This is a shame for women, as they generally require more foreplay than men to get to a state of heightened arousal, relaxation and lubrication. Oral sex can also give women a clearer idea of their erogenous zones and allow them to get in touch with how and where they like to be touched.
One thing that many women worry about is odour. They fear that their natural feminine odour will be off-putting to their partner, when in fact this natural scent carries pheromones designed to drive men wild. As long as your hygiene is good, there is no need to use scented washes or body sprays on the area, and these can even cause burning and irritation. Instead try to relax, secure in the knowledge that there is nothing unhealthy about the feminine odour.
Many women also feel embarrassed about their bodies ‘down there’ and the thought of their partners getting up close and personal with their intimate areas can make it seem off-putting for them. Women should ensure that they are in a gentle, trusting relationship before exploring this area of their sexuality, and should be prepared to go slowly.
