I came up with the term cameralingus last night while teaching a workshop about porn star sex with Nina Hartley at The Pleasure Chest. And I have to say, I quite like it.

Cameralingus is oral sex done on a woman for other people’s pleasure. It shows a lot of tongue, something you don’t usually see when cunnilingus is in the hot-n-heavy phase, and it’s always photographed or videotaped.  Cameralingus also shows oral sex in positions that aren’t always great for pleasureable oral sex.

An example of cameralingus:

Cunnilingus is oral sex done on a woman for her pleasure. It involves sucking, suckling, nuzzling, rubbing and other words that end in ing. It is always about her, and not always, or in most cases, about the camera. When we take what we learn in porn, often we perform cameralingus in lieu of, or in conjunction with, cunnilingus.

Here’s an example of cunnilingus:
