Clitoral Stimulator

A toy designed specifically to stimulate the clitoris, usually with vibration or friction. See vibrators.

Clitoris

The clitoris is the only organ in the human body whose sole function is pleasure, the clitoris was built for orgasm. The tip of the clitoris is the round nub right above the meeting point of the inner labia. It is protected by a little fold of skin. There are 6,000 to 8,000 nerve endings in the clitoris, and even a light touch is usually felt rather intensely. As with the penis, the clitoris is composed of erectile tissue and gets bigger and harder when a woman is turned on. A lot of women prefer their clitoris touched through the clitoral hood. The clitoris continues on in the form of two clitoral legs which stretch back beneath the labia on either side of the vaginal opening. There are significant areas of erectile tissue, muscles, nerves and blood vessels which are part of the complex organ which responds to sexual tension and resolves in orgasm. Most women orgasm from stimulation of the clitoris, but that varies greatly. Vibrators, with their impressive range of intensities, offer an ideal way to experiment with clitoral stimulation. You can learn more about the clitoris with a vibrator.

Coil Operated Vibrator

An electric vibrator that uses spinning electromagnetic coils to produce vibration. Usually plug-in, coil vibrators tend to produce quiet, strong, focused vibration.

Condom

Condoms are barriers typically used during sexual intercourse for contraceptive purposes or as a means of preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Male condoms are designed to fit over the penis, while the female condom is inserted vaginally. Condoms are usually made of thin rubber, latex or polyurethane. Condoms are one of the most effective contraceptives on the market, but condom failure has more to do with misuse than with a faulty product. When putting the condom on your penis, make sure to add a drop of lubricant to the tip of the condom and the penis for a more comfortable ride. Pinch the air out of the tip before rolling it down the shaft, then make sure to hold on to the condom when you withdraw to avoid spillage. Don’t use old or brittle condoms, and check to make sure the condom hasn’t passed its expiration date. Condoms are a great safe sex accessory: cut one open and it doubles as a dental dam during oral sex, slip one over a sex toy that you’ll be sharing between partners (changing the condom between uses), or use one on a porous sex toy so it’s easier to clean up

Contrapolar Stimulation

Stimulation which produces both pleasure and pain sensations simultaneously.

Cooling Lubricant

Cracker

A short piece of cord on the end of a whip which makes a loud cracking sound.

Cunnilingus

Cunnilingus is the holy grail of satisfying most women. Whether your a natural or are curious about how to perform cunnilingus, here are a few helpful cunnilingus techniques. Lick her like an ice cream cone big soft licks from stem to stern with a wide flat tongue stimulate all the nerves in her genital area. Go deliciously slow to make her feel like a yummy dessert being savoured, or speed it up a bit and focus more on the clitoral area to push her towards orgasm. Dive in. Build up the intensity level gradually. Once you're into it, use your whole face during cunnilingus. Bury yourself in her, get your tongue in as far as possible, use your nose for more pressure. Not only does this feel good physically, it lets her know you are really into her taste and smell. Insert two fingers in her vagina while licking her clitoris. Curl those fingers up towards your tongue, capturing her clit and G-spot between your mouth and fingers. As your tongue licks up pull down with your fingers; get a rhythm going. Another cunnilingus tip is to add a G spot vibrator for more intense vaginal stimulation. Suck her into your mouth. Gentle suction is a nice variation on the licks and downward pressure of most cunnilingus. While you've got a nice piece of her sucked in your mouth, lick it while maintaining the suction.

Cunt

Slang expression for vagina. This term was considered nasty and insulting for quite some time and has recently been the focus of quite some attention.  In a process that has been seen with other words, cunt is being co-opted by women in order to express their ownership of their sexuality.
