This is a GOOD read!!! What a wise man this guy was to educate people here!StandardShifterMz3s wrote:The Joys of "Snacking"
I just came across a wonderful article on the virtues of cunnilingus entitled “Snacking” in the archives of Salon.com. Written in 2000, the author, Daniel Edwards (a pseudonym), describes how he and a buddy came up with the term:
“We took it from the back of a Triscuits box that read, "Let's Talk Snacking!" I suppose we thought the term more complimentary: Snackers do not "chow down" like ravenous wolves; they nibble delicately, savoring the cuisine. Plus, the term let us talk covertly at parties.”
The author then goes on to describe a phenomenon that I see over and over: guys who are enthusiastic about pleasuring women orally, but encounter resistance from their partners:
“These days, however, few of us care to talk undercover. Most of us have become unabashed evangelists. And I'd like to think that we have persuaded several men to give it a shot. But much to my surprise, the toughest people to convert have been women, both friends and former bedmates. Some say they don't want to have to return the favor. Others claim that the act is too intimate, that it fosters an expectation of sexual intercourse. And most shocking of all, many women consider it gross.”
This is one of the main reasons I wrote “She Comes First” – to inspire men to appreciate a woman’s sexual potential and to empower women to receive. That’s why the three Reassurances of my Cunnilinguist Manifesto are so important:
• Going down on her turns you on; you enjoy it as much as she does.
• There's no rush; she has all the time in the world. You want to savor every moment.
• Her scent is provocative, her taste powerful: it all emanates from the same, beautiful essence.
So be one of the good guys and take one small lick for man, one giant lick for Womankind.
Edwards goes on to rhapsodize about the joys being a cunnilinguist:
" It's an amazing feeling to satisfy a woman, and cunnilingus is the most foolproof way to do it. Even men who follow the late comedian Sam Kinison's advice to "lick the alphabet" can't help doing a decent job.
“Yet the rewards run deeper. Men don't always dive for the gold of a woman's orgasm. We find our own subtle treasures, and most of them are psychological. Going down on a woman lets us skirt the weight of assumed sexual selfishness, lets us prove that we're not one of those bastards you might have met in a bar. It also minimizes our own performance phobia. Women can't see what we're doing, our tongues will never need Viagra and we've all got a similarly sized piece of equipment. Snacking also slows things down, increasing intimacy by allowing some blood to flow back into our brains.
But most of all, snacking is a five-sense experience that places us up close and personal in a way that no other act can. Most vaginas smell and taste pleasantly mild; and perhaps all those glimpses of porn magazines with camera close-ups of the inner sanctum have something to do with the attraction. But for the vast majority of men -- those who mentally salivate for more feminine knowledge -- there's nothing better than becoming the camera, and more. To see, taste, touch, hear and smell the essence of a woman is to become a successful explorer, a modern Jacques Cousteau, a teacher and an A-plus student, all at the same time.
To Daniel Edwards, whoever you are, I say Viva La Vulva!
