  • A sexual therapy technique known as the "Kivin method" or "side method" is gaining attention for potentially enhancing female pleasure during oral sex.
  • This sideways approach reportedly allows for different stimulation of the clitoris and surrounding areas, leading to more intense sensations for some women.
  • Experts suggest the position may also be more comfortable for the giver and allows for greater intimacy and varied stimulation.

A sexual technique gaining traction among sex therapists and on social media, known as the "Kivin method" or "side method," is being discussed for its potential to intensify female pleasure during oral sex. This approach offers a different angle of stimulation compared to traditional positions.

Proponents of the method suggest that by positioning the body sideways, almost perpendicular to the partner, it allows for a different type of stimulation to the clitoris, vulva, and surrounding areas. This altered angle, according to numerous women who have tried it, can lead to more intense sensations.

The neck is not as strained, so it is easier to maintain the position for a longer time.

Sexologist Sadie Allison explains that the side position not only changes the sensation for the recipient but can also be more comfortable for the person performing oral sex. "The neck is not as strained, so it is easier to maintain the position for a longer time," Allison stated. She also noted that this position allows for more opportunities to incorporate manual stimulation and combine various forms of touch, potentially making the experience more diverse and intimate.

Psychotherapist and sexual therapist Greg Kilpatrick advises that some light stretching before attempting new positions can be beneficial, especially if anticipating a prolonged session. He emphasizes that open communication between partners is crucial, as what one person finds pleasurable, another may not. The experts highlight that even small changes in sexual routines can lead to significantly different and enhanced experiences for both partners.

We stretch before running, training, or yoga. Sex is no different when it comes to preparing the body.
