Ever heard of the grapefruit technique? It’s a unique blowjob method that—you guessed it—involves a grapefruit.

In the words of sex advice blogger Auntie Angel: “The grapefruit technique will make your man feel like you’re blowing him and f***ing him at the same time. The grapefruit technique is supposed to be so pleasurable, your partner could have a heart attack!”

Curious yet?

Most internet users have at least heard of the grapefruit technique—but not everyone knows how to do it and indeed if it even works.

How to give your partner a grapefruit blowjob

Follow these seven steps for the grapefruit technique. You must do the first four without your lover’s knowledge, according to Auntie Angel.

  1. Get a grapefruit and leave out until it’s at room temperature.
  2. Roll the grapefruit against a hard surface to make it softer.
  3. Cut the grapefruit on both ends to leave a wheel shape.
  4. Cut a hole, reflecting the girth of your partner’s penis, into the middle of the grapefruit.
  5. Blindfold your partner for the surprise sensation.
  6. Proceed to give him a normal blowjob so they’re fully erect.
  7. Place the grapefruit around his penis, twisting and moving it up and down while you suck on the tip of his penis.

Why did the grapefruit technique go viral?

The initial explainer video by Auntie Angel made the technique viral. The clip starts with her seriously explaining the technique but later in the video, she unintentionally drives viewers wild with laughter.

At 02:40, she mimics oral sex on a large dildo and then places the grapefruit over it, and continues to suck it.

The noises she makes are the very reason it went viral.

Does the grapefruit blowjob method actually work?

Does the grapefruit technique actually work? Well, according to the internet… yes!


Some couples absolutely love this technique with its increased levels of sensation and fun.

What’s more, guys and girls who have tried it while giving head have said that it does make the blowjob easier to give.

But do keep the taste in mind… if you don’t like the taste of grapefruit, well, you won’t want to be sucking on it.

And be warned…

Oh, you do need to be prepared.

According to the hundreds of comments online, it’s incredibly messy. Juice will pretty much squirt everywhere, so unless your room is made of towels, it might not be worth it.

The grapefruit juice is likely to drip down between the receiver’s butt cheeks too.

That sensation won’t be for everyone. But who knows… you or your partner might love it.

If anything, you might get some giggles out of this viral technique. Let us know about your verdict.
