Add some va-va-voom to your Valentine’s Day with this V-ery effective V-shape technique. This one’s for the vulva-lovers out there.
How?
Make a victory “V” sign with your two forefingers and place them either side of your partner’s clitoris, along the edge of the outer lips (labia majora). Use gentle pressure along your fingers to press and massage the vulva, pushing back the clitoral hood to reveal the pleasure button within.
Keep your fingers in place as you lick the sensitive clit. Try alternating between flicking your tongue-tip over the clit, licking up and down from clit to hole with the broad flat of your tongue, and, of course, giving some good sucking attention.
Feeling romantic?
Why?
The internal clitoris runs down the sides of the vulva, so you’re stimulating the whole clitoral structure when you apply pressure and warmth with your hand.
Also, using your V-shaped fingers to spread the vulva and expose the glans clitoris (the external, pea-sized bit you can see) more makes it extra-sensitive to your oral efforts.
Make it even easier
As this position is very technique-focused, it is super adaptable. The V-technique can be performed sitting, standing, or for maximum comfort, lying down. If your partner wants the full view while you pleasure them, they can be comfortably propped up with pillows against a bedhead or sofa back. If sustaining combined hand and mouth action is tricky, try adding in some toys to help you out. That brings us to our next point...
Make it even better
If your tongue is cramping or you just want to mix it up, add in a licking or clitoral suction toy. Slather some lube on the mouth of your toy and let that lil tongue deliver steady, repeating sensations that pair beautifully with the V-technique.
Hold the toy in place while adding kisses and teasing around it or alternate between toy and tongue for contrast. Start with lower settings to build anticipation, then turn things up once your partner is already squirming.
Make it even kinkier
Some light bondage goes well with this one. Soft wrist cuffs or a scarf around the receiving partner’s wrists work great – either above their head, tied to the furniture or tied in front, over their belly so they can still touch you (or control toys).
The key is secure but comfortable restraint; nothing cutting circulation or causing strain. With the receiver unable to guide or pull away, every sensation lands more intensely. Tease, pause, vary your pace and they’ll be putty in your hands.
