The importance of oral sex in female satisfaction

Talking openly about female sexuality ceases to be a taboo and becomes a necessity. One of the topics that sparks the most interest is oral sex, also called cunnilingus, as a path to pleasure for women. Is it necessary for them to reach orgasm? Why is it important for their partners to practice it? For decades, oral sex towards women has been surrounded by prejudice: "I don't feel the need for it to be practiced on me," "I don't feel anything when they do it to me," or even "my wife doesn't like that." In Dominican macho culture, these ideas are not only wrong, but also harmful because they make female sexual needs invisible, reinforcing a model of sexuality centered on male pleasure.

Unlike men, whose orgasm is usually directly related to penetration, the female body is designed differently. The clitoris, an organ that contains more than 8,000 nerve endings (twice as many as the penis), is the main source of sexual pleasure for most women and is not located inside the vagina, but outside, it does not directly intervene in vaginal penetration. Therefore, many women do not reach climax with penetration alone.

According to a 2017 study in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, only between 18% and 25% of women reach orgasm exclusively through penetration. In contrast, around 70% of them require direct clitoral stimulation to achieve it. This is where oral sex takes on a leading role.

Is it necessary for oral sex to reach orgasm?

The short answer is: it depends on the woman. Each body is different, but what is clear is that oral sex is one of the most effective ways to stimulate the clitoris, especially for those who do not achieve orgasm with penetration. To say that without oral sex there is no orgasm would be a generalization, but it is true that for many, it represents the safest and most pleasurable way to achieve it. Furthermore, it can serve as a powerful prelude, increasing arousal and facilitating a more intense experience during sexual intercourse in general. Oral sex is not just a technique, it is a powerful tool to recognize women's right to pleasure and real orgasms. Woman, it's time to shed the shame, the taboos, and the idea that sex ends when the man finishes!.
