What is giving head?

Giving oral sex, often referred to as "giving head," involves using the mouth, lips, and tongue to stimulate the penis. Here's some information:

  • Hygiene: Maintaining good personal hygiene for both partners is important before engaging in oral sex.

  • Communication: Open communication is key. Discussing preferences, boundaries, and comfort levels beforehand ensures a positive experience for everyone involved.

  • Technique: There's no single "right" way to give head. Experiment with different techniques, such as using varying levels of pressure, incorporating the hands, and focusing on different areas of the penis to find what the receiving partner enjoys. Some common techniques include the deep throat technique.

  • Consent: Enthusiastic and ongoing consent is essential. Ensure both partners are comfortable and willing participants.

  • Safety: Using condoms during oral sex can help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

  • Aftercare: Open dialogue after the act can improve sexual experiences.
