We are always searching for better, newer, and more pleasurable ways to have sex. Magazines promise “10 Ways to Make Him Moan!”, internet forums like Reddit are full of clueless lovers trying to pick up new techniques, and our porn preferences have gotten significantly wilder and weirder.
So when a Chicago-based “sexpert” claimed to have the secret to a better blowjob, we were intrigued. Out of all the blowjob techniques and tricks, what makes the grapefruit method different? Here’s everything you need to know about grapefruiting, including a step-by-step instruction on bringing it into the bedroom.

What Does Grapefruiting Mean, Sexually?
Incorporating food into your sex life is not a new concept. Whipped cream, strawberries, and chocolate syrup are the usual suspects, but grapefruiting allows you to get your daily dose of vitamins and nutrients in a fun, sexy way.
Grapefruiting, or the grapefruit technique, is when someone uses a grapefruit during fellatio to enhance their partner’s pleasure. The technique was popularised by an old video in 2014, where sex therapist Auntie Angel (real name Denise Walker) demonstrates how to perform fellatio using the fruit. The video went viral, resulting in widespread media coverage and inspiring multiple parodies, a handful of songs, and a now-iconic scene in the hit comedy Girls Trip.
Why Grapefruit? What Does Grapefruiting Feel Like?
According to Auntie Angel, using a grapefruit – with its soft, juicy, and sweet centre – makes fellatio more fun for the giver and the receiver. For the man, it feels like a combination of getting head and having sex at the same time.
But it’s not just beneficial for the receiving partner. Grapefruit is delicious, and it can make giving a blowjob much more appealing. Plus, if your partner is well-endowed and you usually have a difficult time with oral sex, using grapefruit can make it easier for you to pleasure them.
Preparing For A Grapefruit Blowjob
Talk About It First
Although Auntie Angel recommends to “spring” it on your partner as a sexy surprise, we believe that communication is extremely important before you introduce something like this in the bedroom. You can still retain some sense of mystery by keeping the when and where a surprise, but make sure you talk to your partner about whether they’d feel comfortable with grapefruiting before buying a dozen at the grocery store.
Consider Using Flavoured Lube Instead
Another reason discussing it beforehand is crucial: some people may be allergic to grapefruit, or may be taking medication that could interact with it. Yes, certain prescription meds do not interact well with citrus fruits like grapefruit, meaning that this seemingly simple sex trick could turn dangerous.
If you’re on medication, do your research and/or clear it with a medical professional first. If you (understandably) don’t want to have that awkward conversation with your doctor, or if you or your partner are allergic to grapefruit, you can achieve similar results with yummy flavoured lubricant.
Set A Towel Down
As with any good blowjob, it’s likely going to get very, very messy. Put a sheet or towel underneath your partner before getting started, or else you’ll be sleeping in a sweet, sticky wet spot all night.
Use A Condom
Condoms are a MUST for oral sex to prevent the spread of STDs, but there are other reasons to use it during grapefruiting. Grapefruit juice is highly acidic and can be quite painful if it finds its way into the urethra. Plus, grapefruits have a ton of natural sugar, which promotes yeast infections. Wrap it up before the blowjob, and use a new condom when switching to penetrative sex for maximum protection.
How To Grapefruit Your Man: Your Guide To The Auntie Angel Grapefruit Technique
There’s no better way to learn how to grapefruit than from Auntie Angel herself. So if you have time, make sure to check out the original video tutorial below for her step-by-step instructions.
Or you can let the hilarious Tiffany Haddish explain it to you like she did to Jada Pinkett-Smith in Girls Trip:
For those who prefer written instructions, don’t worry! We got you covered. Here’s how you can grapefruit your partner.
- Get a ripe grapefruit, bring it to room temperature, and roll it on any surface to “release” the juices inside.
- Find the navels or dimples of the grapefruit, which are on opposite ends, and cut them off. You should have most of the grapefruit intact.
- Using a knife, cut out a hole in the middle of the grapefruit. It shouldn’t be too big or too small, just enough to accommodate your partner’s penis.
- Before going down on your partner, put a towel or sheet beneath them to catch any juices.
- Start giving your partner head without the grapefruit. Once they are hard enough, place the grapefruit over the penis and twist down.
- You can stimulate your partner’s penis using only the grapefruit and using a twisting motion OR you can also perform oral sex on the head of the penis at the same time.
Conclusion
When you need a simple trick to spice up your sex life, grapefruiting just might be the answer. With a few dollars and a quick trip to the grocery store, you and your partner can experience pleasures like never before!
