Licking Plan: Definition, Soft Practice, and Sensory Exploration in Gay Encounters

What is a Licking Plan?

A “licking plan” is a sexual encounter primarily focused on tongue play. It is considered a “soft” practice, generally excluding penetration. Typical activities of a licking plan include kissing, fellatio, anilingus (licking the anus), and licking various body parts (testicles, armpits, feet, etc.).

What does engaging in a Licking Plan imply?

A “soft” practice

The term “licking plan” is often used to mean “everything but anal sex”. It’s an option for those who do not wish for penetration or who want a softer, more exploratory approach to sexuality.

Often combined with other soft practices

It is rare for an advertisement to mention only a “licking plan”. More often, it is associated with other activities such as a “handjob plan” (mutual masturbation). A typical ad might be “looking for a blowjob/handjob/licking plan”.

A gateway for beginners

The licking plan is often a first step for younger or less experienced individuals who wish to explore their sexuality progressively. Proposing a “licking plan” after a mutual masturbation session, for example, is a way to suggest going further without being too direct or intimidating.

Can be linked to specific fetishes and smell play

Although the term is general, it can also be used by people with particular fetishes. An anal fetishist (who loves “eating ass”) or foot fetishist might propose a licking plan focused on these body parts, incorporating a “smell plan” for olfactory and gustatory sensations, even if they will more likely use more specific terms like “rimming plan” or “foot fetish plan”.

What are the vigilance points for a Licking Plan?

Communication and boundaries

Even if it’s a “soft” practice, communication remains essential. It is important to clearly define what each partner is willing and unwilling to do. If one partner does not wish to go beyond a certain stage (e.g., masturbation), their choice must be respected.

Hygiene

Good hygiene is paramount for this type of practice, especially for anilingus. A shower before the encounter is a sign of respect and good manners.

Risks of STI transmission

Oral-genital practices are not without risk. Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be transmitted through the mouth. The use of dental dams can reduce risks, although this is uncommon in casual encounters.

In summary: The Licking Plan, an exploration of sensations

The “licking plan” is a term that refers to “soft” sexual encounters, centered on tongue play and generally excluding penetration. It is an excellent option for beginners or for those seeking a sexuality less focused on performance and more on sensory exploration. As always, the key to a successful gay encounter is communication, respect for each other’s boundaries, and good hygiene.
