At WOO, we've spent years helping people have better sex. We also happen to make an edible lube that tastes like vanilla cupcakes, so it's fair to say we've dedicated more time than most to the art of oral.
We've done the homework. The field research. The very serious investigations.
With that experience in mind, we've rounded up our favorite blowjob tips, from simple tweaks that make a big difference to a few tricks your partner will probably request again next time.
You'll thank us later.
1. Don't Skip the Teasing
The best blowjobs usually start before the blowjob.
Kiss them. Touch them. Build anticipation.
A little teasing can make everything that follows feel even better, and it gives you a chance to turn oral sex into an experience rather than a pit stop on the way to something else.
2. Use Your Hands
Your mouth deserves (and sometimes needs) support.
Using your hands alongside your mouth creates more sensation and gives you more control over pressure, rhythm, and pace. You can move your hand and mouth together, or try moving them in opposite directions for a little extra stimulation.
Just don't forget the glide. The wetter, the better. Saliva works, but if you want things extra smooth, a little edible lube can make a big difference. Friction is great in some situations. This isn't one of them.
It's also a great way to save your jaw from filing a formal complaint.
3. Pay Attention to What's Getting a Reaction
Your partner is already telling you what they like.
A change in breathing. Hips moving toward you. The sudden inability to form complete sentences.
If something is clearly working, don't immediately switch things up because you think you're supposed to. Sometimes the hottest thing you can do is keep doing exactly what you're doing.
4. Slow Down More Than You Think
For some reason, blowjobs have a reputation for becoming increasingly aggressive as they go on.
Not always necessary.
Slowing down builds anticipation and allows every sensation to land properly. Think less "trying to win a race" and more "making them forget what day it is."
5. Don't Ignore the Rest of the Body
The penis may be the guest of honor, but it isn't the only thing invited to the party.
The neck, thighs, chest, stomach, and other erogenous zones can all add to the experience.
The more attention you give the entire body, the more intense everything tends to feel.
6. Let Your Tongue Do Some of the Work
Small movements often have a bigger impact than people expect.
Experiment with different patterns, pressure, and strokes using the tip of your tongue.
A little variety can go a long way.
7. Make Eye Contact
Used sparingly, eye contact can be incredibly hot.
It creates intimacy, confidence, and connection without saying a word.
Just don't treat it like a staring contest.
Nobody wins those.
8. Use Your Words
Dirty talk doesn't have to sound like it came from a movie script.
Sometimes a simple "Do you like that?" or "I've been thinking about this all day" is more effective than an elaborate monologue.
Confidence is sexy. Cringing at your own dialogue usually isn't.
9. Don't Forget the Balls
A lot of people get so focused on the penis that everything else gets left out of the conversation.
Don't make that mistake.
Try using one hand on the shaft while gently touching or cupping the balls with the other. For many people, that extra attention can make the entire experience feel more intense.
Just remember: this area is sensitive. Think confident, not aggressive.
If your partner enjoys a little extra stimulation, you can also experiment with a small external vibrator. Something beginner-friendly like Mushroom Vibez can add gentle vibrations while keeping your hands free to focus elsewhere.
10. Bring in an Edible Lube
You knew this one was coming. We’ve mentioned it before, but we’ll mention it again because it makes things that. much. better.
A little extra glide can make oral sex feel smoother, more comfortable, and a whole lot more enjoyable.
Love Oil was practically made for moments like this. It's edible, tastes like vanilla cupcakes, and doubles as a massage oil if things happen to continue after oral.
Which, if we're being realistic, is usually the goal.
11. Actually Enjoy Yourself
You can learn every blowjob technique on the internet, but your partner will still notice if you'd rather be folding laundry.
Enthusiasm matters.
Nobody is looking for perfection. They're looking for someone who's genuinely into what's happening.
12. Ask What They Like
Groundbreaking concept, we know.
Every person enjoys something a little different, which means communication will always beat guesswork.
Ask questions. Check in. Get curious.
The fastest route to better oral sex is usually through an actual conversation.
13. Experiment With Angles
You don't have to stay in the same position the entire time.
Tilting your head slightly, changing where your tongue lands, or adjusting the angle of your hand can completely change how something feels without changing your technique.
For a bigger shift, flip your orientation entirely and position yourself the way you would in 69, approaching from the opposite direction. It lines your mouth up differently against them and makes familiar moves feel new.
Sometimes the smallest adjustment gets the biggest reaction.
14. Deep-Throating Is Optional
Deep-throating gets talked about like it's the ultimate blowjob technique.
It can be fun if you enjoy it and can do it comfortably, but it's far from the only way to give great head.
In fact, the head of the penis is packed with nerve endings, which means focused attention there can feel incredible. Slow things down, use your tongue, play with pressure, and don't be afraid to spend some extra time on the tip.
15. If You Want to Go Deeper, Take Your Time
That said, if deeper penetration is something you'd like to explore, go for it.
Go slowly, relax your throat, and stay in control of the pace. The more comfortable and relaxed you are, the easier it tends to be.
You can play around with a couple deeper strokes and then go more shallow.
16. Remember It's Supposed to Be Fun
The internet has turned oral sex into a surprisingly serious topic.
It doesn't have to be.
The best experiences usually happen when both people feel comfortable, relaxed, and able to enjoy themselves without worrying about whether they're doing everything perfectly.
Good sex rarely comes from overthinking.
FAQs
What makes a good blowjob?
Enthusiasm, communication, and paying attention to your partner's reactions will usually get you further than any single technique.

Not at all. Plenty of people enjoy oral sex without it. Focus on what feels good, not what you think you're supposed to do.
Should I use lube during oral sex?
Many people find lube makes oral sex more comfortable and enjoyable. An edible option like WOO's Coconut Love Oil adds glide without getting in the way of the experience.
How can I reduce my gag reflex?
Go slowly, stay relaxed, and never force anything that feels uncomfortable. Comfort beats performance every time.

Final Thoughts
The best oral sex usually comes from paying attention, staying curious, and focusing on what actually gets a reaction from your partner.
Try a few new things. Keep what works. Ignore what doesn't.
And if you want to make oral a little sweeter, Love Oil was kind of built for the occasion.
Vanilla cupcake flavor. Very serious research purposes.
You're welcome.
