I don’t think the tongue exercises in this book were actually that important or useful. I mean the only thing that I got from it was to use the softer inner lips more and also think about the different shapes the tongue can make and thus different sensations but that’s about it.

This book is an easy to read tutorial about exploring sexuality and oral sex in particular. I think it is worth the read for beginners and possibly for the more advanced munch. This book will level up your head game if you are eager to learn more.

The author states "A whopping 92% of "career women" prefer it to any other sex act". If that is true, why not try to become better at what women want in bed? It includes detailed images on erogenous zones and different oral sex positions which I feel are the most impactful parts of the book for someone intermediate or advanced. The part about communication was especially interesting to me and feels like the average heterosexual woman might benefit by reading this book by becoming more confident and vocal during the fun.

For someone beginning to explore their sexuality for the first time, they might find chapters on anatomy, oral sex techniques, and toys to be interesting. The oral sex fitness test and exercises were not what I was expecting and may be helpful if this if completely new to you.

Practice makes Perfect

[Pedro L. Fragoso · Rating 4 out of 5]

Best book on the subject is still Kerner's She Comes First (literary style and references, fun to read, sensible approach, gentle guidance; Gone With the Wind quote: "You need to be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how"—priceless in the context). This is a solid second (being the 4th or 5th book I've studied on the matter at tongue).

It's a unabashedly nuts-and-bolts tech manual full of specific physical exercises and a roster of illustrated positions and techniques. The core chapter of the book, to which I'll certainly be returning, is Chapter 11.

Although Kerner's Gone With the Wind quote is better, the one from Shakespeare selected for this book is also a winner: "That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, if with his tongue he cannot win a woman."

And after that, what can I possibly add? Happy licking!?

Michaels is a professional speech therapist who describes her profession as ‘Olympic training for oral sex’ (I counter with the argument that one needs to live next to an astronaut for that). While the approach is different (at times almost classroom-esque), it’s still playful and generally helpful. And if the exercises with buttons, empty plastic jugs, and string that might be a bit abstract for some readers, there’s a great illustration of ‘The Captured Tortoise’ on page 115.

Packed with clear illustrations and detailed explanations, "The Lowdown on Going Down: How to Give Her Mind-Blowing Oral Sex" takes an almost scientific approach to pleasing a woman... while keeping it all light and fun. Readers are bound to pick up new skills – or at the very least, get a refresher course!

Read the full review on my blog.

Read this book years ago, and enjoyed it. I found it to have some real handy information that I've had the pleasure and luck to implement a few times. Never enough! haha.

I had forgotten about it, until going through an old shelf the other day I found it. Decided I had better get it up onto Goodreads.

[Greg Kerestan · Rating 2 out of 5]

One of my favorite fascinations is books on "sexuality AND" a divergent topic one wouldn't expect to overlap with this basic human performance. This book seemed promising, with its crossover between human sexuality and vocal performance and voice training. But with its long digression into myofascial muscle work, it was less informative, speculative or titillating, and more physical therapy.

[Jeff · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book provides some valid pointers and tips on performing oral sex, though, at times, it reads like the author did very little research in writing the book aside from documenting her own personal experience with men.
