Hello there and welcome to The Naked Reader Book Club Discussion! Since June is oral sex month, tonight we're discussion Rachel Kramer Bussel's anthologies Tasting Him and Tasting Her.

If you've read one (or both) of the anthologies, please share your favorite story (or stories)! Was there a particular scene that stayed with you after you read it? A scenario you'd like to try (or coax your partner into trying)? What did you think of an anthology devoted entirely to stories about oral pleasure?

If you haven't yet read the books-- what are you waiting for?! No worries, you're welcome to join the conversation anyway. Feel free to share your favorite oral sex story, whether it's a personal experience or a favorite scene from a book or movie.

So tell me, dear readers, what puts the "OH!" in oral sex for you?

Disclaimer: Your modest moderator has a story in both Tasting Him and Tasting Her. You could say I have a bit of an oral fixation! less

That looks like a great movie, makes me want to watch the rest of it. How funny that the wives couldn't even watch her little demonstration.


As far as a favorite story... ha, one of my favorites from Tasting Her ended up being "Hold On, I'm Coming" (for those who don't know, it's one of the two written by Kristina). I now have my Otis Redding and friends playlist in heavy rotation on the iPod and a new appreciation the sounds of Motown! less

Since I have stories in both books, I will open up the discussion with my favorite oral sex scene from a movie. It's from Dangerous Beauty, which was based on the true story of 16th century Venetian courtesan Veronica Franco. Trust me, it isn't what you think. link less

Oral sex is a difficult subject for me. I enjoy it, but sometimes it just feels too intense. When my partner goes down on me, I can only take it for a few minutes before my body starts to convulse and I feel just-- out of control. I love it, and at the same time, sometimes I can't stand that feeling. Lol. It's a complicated relationship. less

Aw, thanks, Laurel!

True story about "Hold On, I'm Coming": My inspiration was the Motown soundtrack playing at Starbucks that particular month. I kept hearing those same old favorites playing day after day and I started thinking how suggestive the titles and lyrics were-- or could be, if one had a dirty mind.

So glad you enjoyed it! less

Basically, a girl is hosting a dinner party with friends and plans on making spaghetti with the last bottle of Prego spaghetti sauce they have. She walks into the kitchen to find her partner using the Prego as a masturbation sleeve. It's just hilarious. less

I understand you completely. I don't think it is just you either. I get the same sensations. I have told my partner about my "tickle spot." That is the best way I can describe it. It feels so good, almost too good. And it down right just tickles and I can't handle the intensity. I have told my partner exactly where mine is and he avoids that area for me, unless he is feeling spiffy anyway. lol less

It was great. The author (Violet Blue, I think) even went far enough after the oral sex to make it believable. Like what they did about dinner since their dinner guests were waiting for food. I appreciated that since I love my erotica to be realistic. less

I am very much in the same boat. While I love giving, I have a very hard time receiving. I think most of it is a matter of intensity, but also my brain has a mental block of that being the most intimate surrender I could offer another person. Of all the positions or variations I enjoy, my receiving oral is the only one that cuts through any type of physical enjoyment and really strips me down to a level of complete vulnerability. This is a place I am not very comfortable to be in, so I rarely can stand it.

I have better oral skillz in my mouth, anyway. less
