In Defense of 'Pro-Clit Feminism,' Or Why Men Should Definitely Be Eating More Pussy

Let's get one thing straight: Straight women and straight men do not have sexual equality. Generally speaking, women are still having fewer orgasms during sex than men, an issue that is typically referred to as the orgasm gap. That, to put it mildly, is some bullshit.

A great way to rectify the problem, however, is to start paying attention to what women want — which, for a great many, is clitoral stimulation in the form of oral sex. That said, there are certainly plenty who don't enjoy having their clits licked – as highlighted by a recent essay in Fusion –who should be spared the unpleasantness of having their clits licked. 

In her piece, writer Charlotte Shane argues that cunnilingus shouldn't be a standard, expected, automatically on-the-table sex act. In fact, she points out, there are many women who don't enjoy receiving oral sex — and their male partners shouldn't be making them feel bad or guilty about that. 

In her piece, Shane (correctly) notes that after a long history of men ignoring the intricacies (or basic existence of) the clitoris, the paradigm has finally started to shift, resulting in straight men becoming more willing to give head. These days, eating pussy is not only more culturally accepted than ever, but also considered cool, with rappers like Lil Wayne openly bragging about their oral sex skills.
