Oral G-spot
Like many Sanskrit words, mudra has more than one meaning. It can refer to a form of parched grain that is consumed during the Tantric sexual ritual, but more importantly for our purposes, it means a gesture that creates psychological and/or physiological changes. Some of these changes can be quite dramatic; for example, we’ve been initiated into mudras that direct the breath to different parts of the lungs. Mudras are not exclusively hand gestures. They may be invisible, because they are being performed inside the body.
Khechari mudra (literally, “the gesture of wandering in space”) is one such invisible mudra; it is one of the most difficult to learn and is considered by many to be the most potent of all. It involves stretching the tongue until it can be inserted behind the uvula (the bulbous tissue that dangles down at the back of the soft palate, protecting the opening of the pharyngeal cavity). Some practitioners actually cut the frenulum of the tongue (the piece of tissue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth) so that they can perform it.
This is a symbolically sexual act, evoking intercourse between the tongue and the throat. It involves mastery of the gag reflex; it triggers the taste buds and produces a sweetness that is said to be that of amrita, the nectar of immortality. It is also a tool for focusing awareness and regulating the breath.
Because it is so difficult to perform khechari mudra, a modified version involving what we call the oral G-spot is taught in many Tantric and Yogic schools. In Taoism, this is known as the “fire point.” The oral G-spot is not, strictly speaking, an analogue to the more renowned vaginal G-spot that can be stimulated to trigger ejaculation. It is, however, a highly innervated location in the mouth with an erotic potential that tends to be overlooked.
It is located toward the back of the roof of the mouth, about two-thirds of the way between the front teeth and the point where the soft and hard palates meet. To find it, probe the roof of your mouth with your tongue. If you apply pressure, you will find a spot that is quite sensitive. Its location is just below the part of the skull through which the olfactory cilia dangle into the nasal passages, separated from the air by a thin membrane.
Humans are hardwired to be oral for a number of reasons, and the sensitivity of this particular part of the mouth is one component of the hardwiring. Breastfeeding brings repeated pressure to the roof of the mouth, and thumb sucking also stimulates this point. Use your thumb and try tapping gently backward from the front teeth toward the soft palate, while making note of the sensations. Experiment with tapping on both sides and down the midline. Don’t go so far back that you trigger the gag reflex. You may feel a vibration that runs up into your nose, creating a sense of tingling and fullness.
For some people, focusing on this point and working with it can make it easier to become orgasmic while performing fellatio. Thinking energetically and using your imagination are very helpful in this context. You can imagine an electrical current flowing through your lover’s genitals and filling your cranial cavity. Keep your focus on drawing the energy up into your skull through the oral G-spot and on the physical sensations you are experiencing. We can’t guarantee that using this technique will make you orally orgasmic, but it is sure to add something new to your experience of oral sex.
If you’re at all skeptical about the power of this spot, consider this. Some years ago we did an interview on Playboy Radio. The hosts of the show were Christy Canyon and Ginger Lynn, two very prominent former porn stars. When the subject of the oral G-spot came up, they had their doubts that it even existed. We were quite insistent about it, and as it happened, they had a vibrator in the studio, and being sexually creative people, they came up with the idea of applying the vibrator to the spot. They were both thrilled and amused by this new discovery and by the sensations. Try it yourself, starting at a low intensity, and see what happens.
