The grapefruit technique, or simply āgrapefruiting,ā in which you cut a hole into a grapefruit and use it while youāre going down on a guy, has been made legendary by a funny, charismatic Chicago-based sexpert called Auntie Angel. She sells a line of sex-technique instructional DVDs (including āAngelās Fellatio Secretsā) but has selflessly offered up her
grapefruit blow job YouTube tutorial for free because, she says, āI believe every man should be grapefruited.ā All righty! The sensation for him is supposed to be, uh, mind-blowingā¦ and possibly cardiac arrest-inducing. Now thatās a powerful BJ.
āMen have said that it feels more like getting a blow job and having penis/vagina intercourse at the same time,ā says clinical sexologist Dr. Kat Van Kirk. āThere just seems to be more stimulation all the way around. Some guys also like to use grapefruiting as a masturbation technique. Many state that the texture feels a lot like the inside of a vagina.ā
The prep for the grapefruit blow job is not unlike
Saturday Night Liveās āDick in a Boxā skit: Cut the navel ends off a grapefruit, cut a hole the size of his penisās girth in the middle of the grapefruit, and put his (erect) junk in that grapefruit. Then move and twist the grapefruit āringā up and down his shaft while sucking the head of the penis. Easy enough.
Auntie Angel recommends springing the grapefruit on your (blindfolded) man as a surprise to make it less weird for him and ā Iām guessing ā to heighten the sensation. I had technically already ruined the shock factor by telling my boyfriend about it, so I waited a week after our discussion to hit the grocery store and select the perfect ā or would it be āsexiest?ā ā grapefruit.
About an hour later, back at my apartment, I told him I had a surprise for him and to lie down on the bed while I blindfolded him. (Pro tip: If you ever want to see a man scamper to the bedroom as fast as a
Twilight vampire, tell him youāve got a surprise for him that involves a blindfold.)
Once in the kitchen, I quietly sliced into the grapefruit and immediately realized I should have let the damn thing come down further to room temperature before we began, or at least warmed it between my hands (Auntie Angel says under no circumstances should you use a microwave). The flesh was ever so slightly chilly. But Iād already blindfolded him, so there was no turning back. I carved the hole and went for it.
From a blowerās perspective, it is profoundly weird to look down and see a grapefruit, Sunkist label still on, mid-bob. Plus, the grapefruitās juices do run, so if you donāt want to ruin your 900-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, put a towel down first (though that seems overly OCD). However, the slippery texture is kinda fun to work with! And thereās a huge perk to this technique for women who donāt love giving BJs: If itās the smell or taste that bothers you, the grapefruitās scent and flavor is so strong itās like going down on a grapefruit popsicle ā much more pleasant than a normal beej.
Afterward, I asked my boyfriend what he thought. More specifically, did I traumatize him because the grapefruit was too cold?
Nope, the temperature was fine (thank god). He said the change in texture and temp felt like stepping from a sauna into a refreshing plunge pool ā but it wasnāt quite the holy-$%*@-more-more-more widow-maker Auntie Angel promised.
Would he request the grapefruit blow job again? Probably not, he says. Butā¦
āAgain, Iām just happy to be blindfolded and get a blowjob.ā
Verdict: This trick is worth a shot because a grapefruit costs literally 99 cents. Rather than buying an expensive couplesā vibrator in the hopes of spicing things up, you really canāt go wrong with spending a buck on a grapefruit. Just, um, let it come up to room temperature first.
