9 Must-Know Techniques For Giving Good Head
I do enjoy the sensation of feeling it in my mouth; when poked it’s hard and firm but the texture is silky smooth. It’s like licking a popsicle made of steel but kept in a taut silk bag.—K.
The traditional way of giving head—what I call the “selfless blowjob”—is a no-strings-attached gift to the man. It’s giving without getting and it will eventually end up making you feel used and sexually bored. But in “selfish” blowjobs pleasure is distributed evenly and in many ways, tilted to your favor.
Selfish blowjobs require the giver to think of himself first and your partner second while aiming for mutual pleasure. It doesn’t mean doing something your partner doesn’t like just because you do. For example, it might bring you great pleasure to bite his dick with your back molars, but that would inconsistent with the concept of mutual pleasuring. Selfish blowjobs are not about denying your partner pleasure but in prioritizing yours. It’s about finding the overlap between two parties, the sweet spot that allows the giver to get as much or more as the given.
Tune In So You Can Turn On
Have you ever seen a speaker tap a microphone that’s obviously working and ask, “Is this thing on?” You need to do the same thing to your partner’s dick—tap it and ask, “Am I turned on?” Because if you’re not, you’re never going to enjoy blowing him.
Get in touch with why you like masculinity’s Main Representative and you will certainly start liking blowjobs. For most guys, it’s a curious mix of feeling powerful and submissive as described here:
“I love LOVE giving my partner head. I love the feeling of knowing that I’M in control, teasing him, knowing that it’s all me that’s making him curl his toes and go crazy from the teasing. I love hearing him moan as I do what I do, hearing him say I’m amazing, pulling my hair etc.”
—P.
“I’m pretty submissive so the act of a blowjob ranges either from teasing him and watching him squirm to being dominated and deep throated. I’ve definitely come before while sucking someone so it’s mostly a mental thing. At this point, I kind of just love having a cock in my mouth, especially my SO’s [significant other’s] who I adore and who is always really mind blown by it.”
—L.
But attraction to power dynamics aren’t the only reason to want his hardness in your mouth. It’s also about the pleasure you get from seeing him in so much ecstasy that it renders him incapable of thought. And because his erection is a symbol of his attraction for you, it makes sense that you would want to pleasure it. Its hard but silky sensation has a good “mouth feel” and having it there creates a tender after-it’s-done intimacy.
Once you understand why you like penis, it’s time to express that desire with your lips, tongue, throat, and hands. But not just for him; for you. As I’ve said before, to truly give great head you have to see it as critical to your own sexual satisfaction. You have to see blowjobs as a principal way for you to pleasure yourself, not just him. If you don’t, you’ll see it as a chore, not a choice; a task, not a turn-on.
Once you approach blowjobs with the idea that you are going to get as much or more pleasure than your partner, then you’re ready to apply the techniques we’ve talked about in the book. If you can master the nine most important techniques below, everything else is just frosting on the cake (white and creamy!):
-
Your Mouth Has To Be Wetter Than A Cucumber At A Gay Prison
The wetter your mouth the better it’ll feel to him and the easier it will be on your mouth, lips, tongue and throat. You’ll slip, slide and glide easier and get more pleasure out of what you’re doing. The fastest, most convenient way to produce more saliva while you’re giving him head is to visualize biting into a lemon or to “gleek” – placing the tip of your tongue on the roof of your mouth for a few moments (it pools the saliva under your tongue).
-
Always Start Slow And Gradually Build Up
Apply the law of reciprocity—how would you want him to go down on you? You’d want a slow build. Think of an iron warming up, not a rocket taking off.
Everything should start gently and slowly (the grip, the pressure, the speed) and build toward a climax, with an emphasis on the journey, not the destination. Think of a giant roller coaster. You don’t just get on it and jerk away at 60 MPH. It chugs slowly and inexorably toward the top and then…all hell breaks loose.
-
Don’t Forget The Balls! People Always Forget The Balls!
It’s every guy’s main complaint. The scrotum sack isn’t there for decoration (if it were it’d look a lot prettier). It’s a joy palace packed with sensitive nerve endings that can make the difference between him momentarily enjoying a blowjob and fantasizing about it for a month.
-
Use Your Hands As An Extension Of Your Mouth
After a few minutes of mouth-only action, you will drive him crazy if you add your hands to the mix. Mouths can’t create the pressure or friction most guys need to maximize their pleasure (especially to ejaculate).
-
Use Your Tongue To French Kiss The Head Of His Penis
This is one of those “If you don’t remember anything else” tips because the sensation is so extraordinary.
-
Make Some Noise
Sweet smacking sounds, squelchy, sloppy slurping and slovenly sucking are music to a man’s ear. He’ll put it on Spotify and mark it as his favorite playlist. Sex sounds are primal passion boosters; their power cannot be overstated.
-
Keep Him On Edge With The Peacock Technique
Use a “suspense and resolve” approach to build anticipation and create memorable experiences. Remember, it’s not what you do to him. It’s where you take him. And you can take him to the edge of space with a Tease-Lure-Escalate-Resolve model.
-
Keep The Same Rhythm When He’s Close To Climaxing
There’s such a thing as momentum during sex and you don’t want to change anything when you sense it. If he starts approaching “ejaculatory inevitability,” keep the same grip, pressure, speed, rhythm and moisture until he finishes completely. Do not change anything (unless he asks you to—and it’s usually “Faster! Harder!”) It’s fine if you don’t want to swallow or even get semen in your mouth—pull your mouth off his cock but keep going with your hands. It’s also important for you to keep going until he has completely stopped coming. Better to have him pull you off than to leave him too early in his hour of need.

The Most Important Technique Of All!
There is one last technique and it’s critical to an effective blowjob. Everything else we’ve talked about falls apart if you skip it. Let me re-introduce it by asking you to solve a riddle. But here’s the thing—YOU CAN’T USE A CALCULATOR. Are you ready?
You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get in. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?
It’s YOU, silly. My point, and I really do have one, is that it’s easy to lose yourself in an activity that requires you to pay attention to other people. You should approach a blowjob the way you approach a sex toy—by asking yourself how it can give you the most pleasure.
That means asking yourself a lot of questions throughout a blowjob session. Like, am I comfortable? Does this feel good to me? How can I make this feel even better? How can I enhance the physical sensations I’m experiencing? What can I do that will turn me on more?
And the most important question? It’s for your partner: What can HE do to give you more pleasure?
Oh, Swell
When it comes to blowjobs you can go from “I don’t want to do this” to “I don’t want this to stop” by simply tuning in to what turns you on about a penis and learning techniques that give mutual pleasure. In fact, this is how you should approach any sex act.
