Sometimes a smaller willy can be a blessing. Anyone can suffer from jaw ache during oral sex, of course, but there’s nothing that makes a woman feel like a queen more than masterfully taking charge of him with her mouth for a while (right?), rather than the banana trying to consume the gorilla.Here are a few *preventative* tips for the great jaw ache dilemma.

Twist Your Tongue

No, not some obscure exercise…try a few classic She sells seashells or Peter Pipers to make your mouth more agile. Any kind of enunciation makes your mouth more of a precision instrument.

Chew Gum 

Yup, that’s it. Work those mandibles.

Revisit Your Gym Warm Up

This is another one you can do at work and no one will be any the wiser: Do neck rolls. Chin to chest and side to side. Slow and steady.

Now for the Tricky One

Sit down with your mouth closed, touching the tip of your tongue to the top of your mouth. Run the tip back towards your tonsils, teeth together. When it’s back as far as it goes, open your mouth slowly and hold for a few seconds. Repeat.

Maybe it’s the heat, but today I’m a bit orally fixated. Between aching jaws and chewing gum, I’m thinking a lot about going deep. I mean, Deep Throat, the 1970s adult movie, was such a hit they’re making branded energy drinks and even doing a musical of the classic porno!

To, uh, untangle your tingle, you can try this at home:

Lay back on your bed with your head slightly hanging over the edge…or laying back on a sofa rest your neck on the sofa arm. It should be like when you get your hair washed at the hairdressers. Basically, if you want to take him in your mouth, deeply, this position set your head and throat at the same angle as his penis, allowing for access that is easier on you. Now, ladies, this takes practice and can be quite a feat. If you can get a good thrust in once, you’ve done well.  And it if it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it.

Plus, these oral sex mints only get you so far…
