Parsing a compliment: “magical tongue”

[ChatterCock]

In the last three weeks, two different women have mentioned my “magical tongue” (I have had one cunnilingual experience with each of them, the first last fall and the second a few weeks ago).

Now I happen to think I am reasonably skilled at this particular practice, and it has been an obsession of mine since I first did it, 40 years ago now (!!).

My question is, should I treat this as a polite but not deep compliment (i.e. something they might say to any lover, good or bad), or should I think they mean I am genuinely above average in that department?

This is not a life-or-death question - my ego is much too big for this to affect me, really. But I am curious - when would any of the women out there tell a lover ther have a “magical tongue?”

I can’t answer your question, not being female, but I can relate this incident, which won’t help, either:

Fishing for a compliment, I once told a lover that a previous girlfriend had mentioned that my lovemaking techniques were “like magic.” She said she believed it and would I use some of that magic and make myself disappear. Poof! Subtlety wasn’t her strong suit.

LOL that is fantastic. I love a good in context insult.

Doesn't seem like yours, either!

I don't have much about myself to brag about, but so many of my past partners have told me my oral sex skills are really good. Even from the first time I ever did it. Some women have told me I gave them their first orgasms ever, and my ego demands I believe them...LOL. I don't know what I do that's different from their other experiences, but I'm just glad I do.

I had the same GF for three years in HS and became…well, a Jedi master…at eating pussy. It has served me well, and you should by all means accept the compliment. They mean it, I’m sure

I've always been told by partners that the secret to being good at cunnilingus is when they say "don't stop, keep doing that" it really means don't stop because they can feel it's going to make them cum but they can't rightly say when. So keep going.

The other part is listening to her body language. Instead of just focusing on the part you're interested in, be aware when you hit a part that makes her shiver, moan, stiffen, whatever. If you have any empathy at all it's not rocket science
