Cunnilinguist
A cunnilinguist is usually someone who enjoys or considers themselves an expert at giving oral sex to a vulva or vagina, also known as cunnilingus. The term is often used playfully or proudly within sexual and kink communities to describe a person who is especially enthusiastic, skilled, or attentive.
Origins of the Term
The term cunnilinguist comes from cunnilingus combined with the suffix -ist, meaning someone associated with a practice or skill. Cunnilingus itself comes from the Latin "cunnus," which means “vulva” and "lingere" “to lick”. In classical Latin, the word originally referred to the person performing the act rather than the act itself.
The modern term cunnilinguist later developed as a playful way to describe someone who particularly enjoys or takes pride in giving oral sex to a vulva. It is also connected to the pun “cunning linguist,” which became popular in English-language sexual humor in the late 1960s.
