Texas Democrats have introduced two bills to legalize recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older, allowing possession of up to 2 ounces, home cultivation of up to 12 plants, and sales through licensed dispensaries.

there is an oral sex technique called the Kivin method that approaches the clitoris from a perpendicular angle rather than the standard face on position, and sex therapists who teach it report that it reduces time to orgasm by approximately 50% compared to standard oral technique. the method is virtually unknown outside of sex therapy practice because it was never commercialized, never went viral, and doesn't photograph well enough for content. the technique exists in clinical manuals and nowhere else. the standard oral position: the man lies between her legs, facing upward toward her. the tongue contacts the clitoris from below, moving in an up and down or circular motion. this is the position that 95%+ of men use because it is the obvious geometric arrangement. it works. it is not optimal. the Kivin method: the man positions himself perpendicular to her body, lying across her thigh or positioned at her side. the tongue contacts the clitoris from the SIDE rather than from below. the motion is across the clitoral glans (left to right relative to her body) rather than along it (up and down). the perpendicular approach changes the angle of nerve stimulation in a way that activates a different distribution of the clitoral nerve endings. the mechanism: the clitoris is not a uniform button. it is a structure with asymmetric nerve distribution. most women have higher nerve density on one side of the clitoral glans than the other (typically the left or right, varying between individuals). the standard up and down motion stimulates both sides equally. the perpendicular (side to side) motion allows the man to focus pressure on the side with higher nerve density. the asymmetric stimulation matches the asymmetric nerve distribution. the practical technique: he lies on his side perpendicular to her body (his head at her hip level). his tongue contacts the clitoral glans from the side and moves in a side to side motion. he can also place one finger on the perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and the anus) and press gently. the perineal pressure activates the perineal nerve branch (covered in a previous tweet) and adds a secondary stimulation pathway. the tongue from the side plus the finger on the perineum creates a dual input that standard positioning cannot replicate. the time reduction (approximately 50% faster to orgasm according to practitioners who teach it) is attributed to the combination of optimal nerve angle stimulation and the dual input (lateral clitoral stimulation plus perineal pressure). the technique doesn't work better because it is more intense. it works faster because it is more accurately targeted. the technique is less physically comfortable for the man than standard positioning (the neck angle is different, the jaw alignment is unfamiliar). the discomfort is the reason it isn't commonly used. the technique that produces the fastest orgasm is the technique that is least comfortable for the man to perform. the comfort and the result are inversely correlated. the man who accepts the discomfort delivers the result.
