Pussy Worship is a sexual act in which all focus is on delivering pleasure to the vulva and vagina. It is an erotic and intimate form of play that exalts and honors this part of the body, showering it with adoration, devotion, and reverence.
While pussy worship is commonly seen in kink and BDSM settings, it can be a beautiful way to deepen any erotic connection.
How to explore pussy worship
People can practice pussy worship through a variety of forms including pussy gazing, vulva massage, sex toys, cunnilingus, intercourse, sex orgies, and creating or consuming art celebrating the pussy. They may also praise it, complimenting the way it looks, tastes, and smells as well as its capabilities and power.
When people practice pussy worship, they take their time with the experience. They enjoy a sensual journey without focusing on their destination. Simply looking at one another and exploring the pussy without penetration can build anticipation and intimacy.
While the pussy is the focus of pussy worship, many people also pay homage to the entire body. Touching other parts of the body, such as the breasts, face, and stomach can show a partner you appreciate more than their pussy. It can also build their arousal before the focus turns to their genitals.
All these practices focus on celebrating and paying reverence to the pussy and also to the person who owns it. While the ways of paying homage can be different, they share a focus on the pussy and the experience of worship.
Additionally, cunnilingus can play a larger role in pussy worship.
“There are all sorts of ways you can worship a vulva, but usually pussy worship refers to putting your mouth on it.” says Kate Sloan, sex journalist and author of 101 Kinky Things Even You Can Do “Taking a slow, sensual, worshipful approach to oral sex can make the experience more pleasurable for everyone involved.”
Experiences that may be new to you, such as pussy gazing and vulva massage, can be great ways to foster intimacy between a couple. Having penetrative sex while paying reverence to the pussy, rather than seeking personal gratification, can also deepen the connection couples feel towards one another.
People who practice pussy worship focus on being totally present in the moment. When they are worshipping the pussy in front of them, they focus on staying connected with their partner (or partners) and taking in every moment and sensation.
Before You Try It...
As with any sexual act, the first step in exploring pussy worship is open communication surrounding consent, turn-ons, and turn-offs. Even the language used should be discussed as for some the word "pussy" is a turn off. Check in with partners to see what language works for them before you begin.
Additionally, even though pussy worship is an act of reverence and celebration, not everyone is comfortable enough with their own bodies to allow a partner to focus so intensely on their genitals for an extended period of time. So, be sure partners are enthusiastically on board before you begin.
It is worth noting also that a trans woman with a penis, or trans man who enjoys having their genitals worshiped but not in a feminizing way, may enjoy pussy worship as well. Ultimately it is about the idea of the glory of pussy, not the medical definition of a vulva.
Pussy worship aims to elevate the pussy. However, people who practice pussy worship should consider the whole person, not just their genitals. Any person worshipped for their pussy should give consent. They should also feel appreciated and respected for their entire being, beyond their genitals.
While pussy worship centers on the genitals, many practitioners also focus on connecting with the hearts of people with pussies. They say that worshipping the heart and connecting on a deep and intimate level helps the pussy open, so it is a vital part of pussy worship.
Pussy Worship and Spirituality
Pussy worship has a long history, dating back to ancient cultures who recognized all life came from the pussy. One example of early pussy worship is yoni puja, an ancient Indian Tantric ritual involving pussy gazing, offering gifts, meditation, and chanting. During a yoni puja, the pussy worshipper never touches the pussy. Someone may perform a yoni puja to worship a lover’s pussy or their own.
Pussy worship can also be a type of nature worship. Its followers may ascribe to other pagan religions such as Wicca and Druidry.
According to Kate Sloan “Worship of any kind pairs well with religious or spiritual roleplays, if you’re into that.”
