OM is a mindfulness practice with a strict choreography. It is done in pairs typically composed of a man and a woman. During the session, the woman lies back on an arrangement of pillows and blankets known as a “nest”. She is unclothed from the waist down, with her legs open in a butterfly position, while the “stroker”, usually a man, uses his left index finger to stroke the upper left quadrant of the woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes.
“Serious practitioners often OMed four times a day or more,” Huet wrote. “Twice in the morning, twice in the evening.”
Just where does the whole day go, eh?
This reminds me of something from Not The Nine O Clock News years back.
Devil Worshipper: We go late at night to a clearing in the woods, dance naked around a fire and then ravage each other ’till dawn.
Interviewer: This helps to conjure up the powers of evil does it?
Devil Worshipper: Who cares?
Bit difficult to do on the tube, though.
there’s remote-controlled technology for that… So I’m told, of course…
That’s a genuine ‘ROFL’
Moment – thankfully I’m not on the Tube reading the comment!
Butterfly position? Butterflies have 6 legs.
it’s about the ..wings… petal-like and….. well……
Limited scope for this if it depends on men finding a clitoris at all, let alone the upper left quadrant.
Most know where to find it…
Problem is that quite a fair percentage of Ladies deploy the SkullCracker™ if you actually hit it…
The combination of crushed ears and anoxia can be quite off-putting….
Sadly, I’ll have to take your word for it.
There’s probably an app for that.
For couples who can’t afford a paper bag, we presume.
So how is this different from a bloke going into a massage parlour and getting a happy finish? The Graun call that prostitution, don’t they?
Is it just that it’s all dressed up in “mindfulness” and pretty websites?
The difference is that the girlie gets it, not the bloke. She’s in charge, not him. That makes it OK, see?
I’m a bit intrigued by the “left index finger” part. OK, I’m left handed, so no problem for me, and I see they have some bullshit argument based on nerve density, but it seems oddly specific. I guess it’s all part of the shtick.
If I have to go for a prostate check (OK, fine, when, shut up), I’ll have to ask for a left handed doctor.
I’ve always cultivated ambidexterity for, er, “reasons”. Being a keyboard player helped.
Heh. I’ve done the same but not for those “reasons” 🙂 Work mostly involves using shared computers which you can’t customise, so it’s good I learnt to mouse on the right from a young age. I can’t write with my right hand and if I’ve got a cook’s knife you damn well want it in my left, but I can manage most things if I have to.
Being very sinister I use the left hand for almost everything, including the ‘mindful’ stuff. However I’ve always moused on the right, and the GHB rose-red tit on my laptop keyboard always responds well to a gentle right index finger.
Here’s a thing. I can distinctly remember being left handed as a tot. But I went to the sort of kiddie school where left handedness was severely discouraged. So I write right handed & it’s the strongest hand for a lot of things. But I reflex catch with the left. Which actually fucked me. I caught a wine glass someone overturned on a table & it broke in my hand & severed a tendon in my left index finger. So the top joint’s been pinned straight. If it had been to my right, I couldn’t have caught the glass. The other things knife & fork. Whichever way I pick them up.
Left out he point of the post!
As the result of my unwise fielding in the slips, regrettably my left handed clitoris technique is severely hampered.
No problem if you’re positioned to bring your right hand to bear, as it were. Just needs a bit of forethought.
All I can say to that BiS is *ouch*.
As the majority of Muslim women are said to have their clitorises (clitori?) cut off when a child, so as to avoid enjoying sex, I would think OM would not have many members from that social group.
AFAIK FGM is practised by a fairly small subset of sub-Saharan Muslims.
It’s much more of an African thing.
Ommmmmmmm……
So the women got orgasms, and the men got tired?
Yeah, I’ve had girlfriends like that.
Well day-amm. Gamecock used to be a top tier psychotherapist.
