And why every woman should embrace it!

Let’s play cards. If you win, you get a blowjob. If I win, I get a...going down on? An... eating out? A...cunnilingus?’
Chances are, if you were having this conversation, you wouldn’t know what word to use here either. It’s a predicament I found myself in while placing bets (as you do), when I realised that there’s no commonly accepted informal noun for the act of cunnilingus. Euphemisms we have in plenty: eating the peach, carpet munching, muff diving, having a seafood dinner, munching the bearded clam, worshipping at the altar, lip-syncing to the fish-fuelled jukebox... But when it comes to using a single word for this one single sexual act—the act of a person performing oral sex on a woman—there isn’t one.
Of course, one can use ‘blowjob’ to refer to the act both ways. But in this day and age where women can own their land, be their own boss, and free their nipples after hours, surely we can have our own word to describe our pleasure too.
