Licking Fetish: 10 Kinky Ideas for Lick Lovers

Do you long to lick your lover every chance you get? Do you get an extra charge when your lover licks your erogenous zones?

What’s Hot about Licking?

The licking fetish is all about the sexual arousal from licking or being licked.

The arousal may be from the tactile sensation the tongue provides or the wet sensation of saliva. Arousal can come from the temperature change that occurs when air hits an area that has been licked. In BDSM relationships licking can be an act of submission or domination, worship or humiliation.

Licking is a very intimate act and not something new partners usually engage in. Low-key licking is a common kink, but as a fetish it is less so. While some lovers will indulge their partner’s licking fetish, others will want to be asked before being licked and may decline.

Most people will attest to enjoying at least one licking or related kink on this list and may love some they haven’t tried… yet!

10 Kinky Ideas for Lick Lovers

1. Blindfold Tasting Games

You can up the sensory quotient here by mixing taste with the tactile experience of licking. Blindfolds heighten anticipation for those who wear them and can also build trust between kinky partners willing to explore kinks together.

Blindfold your lover, and tie them up too if you really want to amp a scene, before having them lick various foods and liquids. Invite them to lick syrups and melted chocolate off your body or vice versa—bon appetit!

2. French Kissing

This kind of licking is one most of us enjoy, but we wouldn’t necessarily think of it as a kink. French kissing has tongues intertwining, licking the insides of the mouth and lips. It’s intimate and passionate and a big part of getting to know if you are compatible in the early stages of dating.

You can French kiss anywhere and everywhere, all at once. It’s a kink that you can do at home, on the road, in public, with the lights on or in the dark. French kissing marathons are definitely for lick lovers, just don’t forget the lip balm.

3. Licking Ears

You may remember giving or receiving a wet willy as a kid, but this kind of licking kink is definitely more pleasurable.

You can lick a lover’s ear, running your tongue along the outer rim, a little inside, and you can always nibble and suck on the lobe in between if that gets you going. Blow on the licked areas to create a cooling effect and tingling sensation— autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR)—for your partner.

4. Licking Necks

The neck is an erogenous zone on both men and women that when lightly stimulated can be sexually arousing, so this licking kink works for both giver and receiver.

5. Licking Massage

The tongue is a muscle and can be used as such to create pressure where pressed. Not all tongues are created equal in size and length and strength, but this kink is something to explore if your tongue is well endowed.

Have your lover lie out on the bed while you use your tongue to massage the soft and fleshy bits of their body. Ask where it feels best. Clean their body, head to toe, before enjoying a hot shower together.

6. Licking Pussy

This is often the first licking kink that comes to men’s minds, and women’s! You can be a big fan of going down on women, but for licking fetishists, the pussy ranks supreme. It’s warm and juicy and what happens when you lick it is oh so fun.

Make your next pussy licking session the main course. Forget about penetration, and other foreplay. Keep your clothes on, and slide her panties to the side for some kinky cunnilingus. When it’s all that’s on the menu, you can take your time and build arousal slowly.

7. Licking Dick

What goes around comes around. Men who don’t lick pussy will find they don’t get as many blowjobs. And women who love licking dicks really love the practice.

Invite her to lick your popsicle love stick after slathering it in whip cream or caramel. Provide a comfy pillow for her to rest her head on next to your throbbing cock. Praise her long luscious licks, stroke her hair. Maybe she’ll take you in her mouth for a while, provide some cockwarming love.

8. Rimming

Licking fetishists may want to go around back to tickle your starfish. Rimming is one part of anal play that both men and women enjoy. Practice good hygiene to boost comfortability, and use a dental-dam type barrier for safer oral sex.

Have your lover lie on their back and lift their legs and feet, knees bent, for easy access. Lick from front to back, but don’t go back. Have your lover in doggy with their with head touching the bed—you won’t be able to resist.

9. Licking Feet or Boots

You don’t have to do much to encourage a foot fetishist to lick his lover’s sweet tootsies. Foot worship can be performed through massage, rubs, pedicures, adornments, and of course through licking the arch, heel, and toes.

Run a bath or jacuzzi for your lover, followed by an erotic foot massage, followed by a long licking session. Licking and sucking go hand in hand, so it’s unlikely you will be able to resist sliding a toe or two into your mouth.

The classic scene of a male submissive on all fours licking his mistress’ boots is an indelible image for many fetishists. It can be an act of subservience, humiliation and degradation, and also extremely satisfying for a sub with a licking fetish.

10. Tongue Piercing

If licking is your thing, you may consider getting your licking tool pierced. Mini metal barbell piercings through the tongue are said to enhance some sexual practices, especially oral sex for both giver and receiver.

Explore the idea of getting your tongue pierced. Research reputable piercing clinics. Read online forums for first-hand stories. Not everyone wants a piece of metal through their tongue, but it can always be removed if found undesirable.

Licking Safety

While oral sex without a condom may be safer sex than intercourse, it still carries a significant risk of catching or passing on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Infections transmitted via oral sex can infect one’s lips, mouth, throat, genitals, or anus.

Before you let this kill your buzz, know that there are protective measures such as condoms and dental dams designed for oral pleasures.

Other concerns for licking fetishists include spreading viruses like the flu, RSV, and Covid. Be smart, play safe, and put your licking on hold when you or you lover is sick.
