The
Mysterious Mitusa
Technique
An
Oral Sex Technique Claiming To Be
Effective
For Achieving The Female Orgasm
|
Just
under a month ago I had written an article asking for feedback
on the Mitusa technique. The topic was brought to my attention
by one of our newsletter readers who wanted to know more
about it.
Since
that article ran, we have received a lot of feedback and
wanted to share some of our findings on the topic.
The
mysterious oral sex technique called "Mitusa"
claims
to be effective at bringing women to orgasm through oral
sex.
The
site that plugs this technique and claims to be the only
site that provides this information (MatchConsultant.net,
run by Jill McGoldrick) which oddly enough went off line
shortly after we posted these articles.

Then it reappeared
under a new site- aka- www.mitusainfo.com, with a picture of the
alleged owner and the name listed as "Jill McGold."
It had information that actually gave a oral technique of the
late comedian's Sam Kineson's Alphabet technique... not what I
would call anything special.
What it looks
like to me is an attempt to lure you to a "no strings sex"
community using images of women who look more like dating site
models than sex teachers. I have no idea why the owner would change
their name, or what the real focus is of this site... but I would
use caution as my expereince with them has not shown them to be
up front about things.
To qualify
to receive the Mitusa technique for free, you must be willing
to answer market research questions and then they eMail the technique
to you in links to hidden web pages to access the information.
However, I have been told that if you do not want to complete
the research essay questions that are required to get the technique,
that it is available for $30 as reported by customers that obtained
it that way.
Side Note
For Providing Your eMail to ANY Company- Remember that you
want to make sure that the eMail address you provide can easily
be protected as many companies will sell your eMail address or
provide a large amount of spam to solicit you for other products
they are selling. If you desire, you can read more on our
corporate policies regarding eMail.
Has
Mitusa Been "Yanked" From Online Distribution?
The site does
state, "3 months ago a buyer purchased Mitusa and the
dating guides that we marketed. He immediately yanked them from
online distribution, with the thought process that exclusive distribution
would better highlight the uniqueness of the product. He also
wants to disassociate Mitusa from online marketing."
This seems
odd considering that we received customers claiming to have purchased
the technique from Jill for $30 and getting it for free after
answering essay questions. Isn't that online distribution? Also,
Jill is marketing her site online through the Google Adwords
program which is paid advertising, so this statement on her site
seems either out dated or questionable.
What
To Expect When You Get The Technique?
According
to customers, once you receive access, you receive a large amount
of information on general and very basic oral sex techniques.
One customer reported that it seemed to him not to be one technique
as much as it was a "collection of techniques," with
a focus on controlling certain aspects. There is an order of the
techniques suggested, but it is complex and seems to take some
time to develop according to feedback we have received.
What we have
repeatedly heard from customers of the Mitusa technique is that
it does not seem to be anything more than general oral sex techniques
that are suggested in a certain order so as not to over or under
stimulate the clitoris. Reviews we have received so far indicate
that the information was adequate for oral sex, but that it was
not unique or easy to understand from the way the information
was provided. One reviewer indicated that it was like trying to
learn oral sex from a set of stereo instructions.
Another recipient
of the material said that there was nothing presented to him that
he did not already know about from his own oral sex experiences.
He said that the Mitusa technique was more of a common sense technique.
Using
Mitusa As A Dating Strategy-
In doing research
on the Mitusa technique we received feedback from newsletter subscribers
about what they knew of the technique. Amazingly, it turns out
there is a group of people who actually market the technique in
order to get dates with others using it as a sort of "bait."
There are also postings from women that claim they will only date
men who know it.
Whether these
are postings from those who love the technique or from those who
are affiliated with the company and are trying to create a need
through postings to market it is unknown. A common place to find
postings about it is through LavaLife.com (a singles dating site)
where one woman said in her headline something such as 'You'd
better know Mitusa'.
We even received
an angry eMail from one man (whom I will refer to as "X")
whom claimed that he had lost dates from this very article when
it originally ran in our newsletter on 12-19-04. Apparently, he
was using the Mitusa technique to land women for sexual interludes.
I understood him to feel that some of the things that were discussed
about it were messing up his strategy to entice women through
knowledge of Mitusa.
The hype about
knowing the Mitusa technique apparently even went to the extreme
of the site itself indicating that if you wanted to confirm that
someone has really learned the technique that you can send a $1
payment to Jill by snail mail so that she can provide you with
a simple confirmation. The site says you can do this "so
you can know for sure the man you are hopping between the sheets
with is legit."
Honestly,
I found that making this technique sound so secret and awesome
was really quite an interesting marketing approach for those who
get sucked in by sheer curiosity alone. I kept thinking that this
was a bit ridiculous to say the least. I mean, I can't even imagine
charging people a dollar to confirm if someone had purchased sexual
health information from us for two reasons. First, because I do
not believe that a sexual technique can be secret because I am
quite aware of what people have been doing for centuries and honey,
anything that can be done, has been. Second, I believe in maintaining
customer confidentiality and confirming that someone has purchased
anything from us is an infringement of their privacy.
A
Negative Response To Our Article-
We did receive
one eMail from a man who as we mentioned was claiming to lose
dates because of our article, whom I refer to as "X"
to protect his anonymity. This man first eMailed me to say that
I needed to change my article because he felt it was a negative
review of "Mitusa." The problem with this accusation
was that I had not even reviewed the technique at that point,
only their marketing techniques for it.
I was also
surprised at such a hostile reaction when he accused me of making
libelous claims. He led me to believe through his eMails that
because he was a lawyer that he was looking into contacting the
company to possibly pursue legal action against me unless I changed
what I wrote. He gave me 24 hours to do it. Then with a demanding
tone, he had the audacity to ask me for free sex advice.
His main focus
was that I had first stated in my article that the Mitusa site
had made a 100% guarantee on their technique, which he said was
not true. However, they did imply it by posting a graphic on their
site that said "100% Product Guarantee" on pages referring
to the Mitusa technique. They also have in text that they "guarantee
extremely intense orgasms."
Jill, the
owner of the site, in a later eMail admitted that posting this
100% guarantee was a mistake and said "I am making necessary
changes on my website and appreciate your pointing out the oversight."
As for "X' saying that I was not reporting the truth, I can
say that while it may have been a mistake in posting that on Jill's
part, it was not a mistake on mine to report it as being on the
site because it was there and still is as of today.
The only reason
I mentioned it in the first place (as outlined in my first article)
is because no sexual technique can be guaranteed 100% of the time
because people, health aspects, psychological aspects and environment
can influence a sexual experience and make that kind of guarantee
impossible.
In short,
I was challenged with negative comments, and legal threats for
writing the truth about the Mitusa site and because I am not committing
any legal infractions and well within my right to free speech,
I have not only maintained my stance, but am writing further about
it in this follow up article.
As I said
to Jill in an eMail, "I have nothing against your company.
I simply was responding to the feedback that we were receiving
from our newsletter readers as that is one of the services that
we provide."
I do this
because I believe that the public should be allowed to openly
communicate about sexual techniques in a factual manner. I also
think that companies that promote items in a manipulative, sexist,
or fear-based manner are open to being questioned about their
approach. I want for consumers of sexual health
products to be educated about what they are receiving and to be
motivated to invest time into it out of a sense of empowerment
not from a sense of insecurity and fear. It is why I have such
a hard time with penis enlargement ads that prey on men's insecurities.
Web
Postings Trying To Embarrass Us?
We have been
told that "X" is now posting negative things (as encouraged
by the Mitusa site owner Jill) about this article to try and make
us look like we are incompetent in reporting on this topic. Jill
wrote to me in an eMail and said "...will handle things
from my end by allowing "X" to make his web postings."
The other
hot topic for this man and Jill were the comments I had made about
"No Strings Sex," when I wrote that it does not exist.
I said "There is no such thing in my opinion... not when
you have STDs, pregnancy and safety risks at play and that is
just the physical aspects." I suggested that they use
a more appropriate term like "noncommittal sex" to imply
that there is no commitment involved.
"X"
wrote to me and seemed pretty worked up in an eMail about this
and said, "For starters you talk about a woman being comprised
of "more than her genitals". I hate to break it to you, but you
are out of touch with the segment of the dating realm that is
genuinely seeking no strings sex."
My reply to
that, is that I will forever stand by my opinion that women are
more than their genitals and I do not see how that is so upsetting
to hear.
This topic
apparently was something that Jill and "X" disagree
with me on as she too eMailed me and said, "["X"]
has advised me that the full content of your emails (essentially
stating that the world would be a better place without men seeking
no strings sex) will be posted on every website chat room frequented
by ANY of my clients within 3 days."
I am not sure
if Jill or "X" felt like this was threat to me, but
I can assure them that I was actually pleased that they would
post my eMails. I want people to enjoy the freedoms of their sexuality
in open or monogamous relationships, long term or even for a brief
encounters, but I also hope that people are aware of their responsibilities
when they choose to be sexual in any capacity.
I have always
embraced different levels of sexual intimacy between people, even
though I have chosen a monogamous marriage as the right choice
for me. I believe that singles who have one night stands, swingers,
open marriages and other types of sexual behavior different than
what I personally practice can be as wonderful as any other way
of expressing sexuality. Again, what I do teach regarding any
kind of sexual behavior is to show respect for a partner and yourself
by practicing safe sex, using communication, and seeing a person
as a whole being, not just "using them," as being important.
The
Mitusa Is Given To Men Only?
It was true
that the woman who runs this site (Jill McGoldrick) claimed that
women were not allowed to obtain it. I remember thinking, "So
much for sexual empowerment for women or lesbians for that matter."
Already it
seemed this site was geared toward single men for their products,
and catering to even the most sexually astute man by possibly
suggesting to him that he is currently inadequate when it comes
to providing the "ultimate sexual pleasure."
Jill indicated
on it that she would not share the technique with women because
she said that most men prefer that they get exclusivity. Which
in my opinion meant that most men be given a way to manipulate
by dangling a sexual technique in front of a woman to get a her
to sleep with them. Sounded ridiculous to me.
She also wrote
that by refusing to send to women, they make sure that men need
women. I was sorry to break it to her, but men need women for
more reasons than to practice a sexual technique.
Jill also
claimed that women were more prone to sending it out to all their
friends and this again seemed like yet another backward way to
approach women by implying to them that a "sexual technique"
that would make them feel good (according to the site) is none
of your business. It seemed that this was another marketing technique
geared toward desperate men.
However, after
seeing my article she told me that she was now allowing women
to have access to it. However on her new site I do not see where
women are included.
Is
The Mitusa Technique Real & Does It Work?
According
to the web site it is a sexual technique, but how original, secret
or effective it is still is debatable from the feedback we have
received. From what I have heard it sounds just like one of the
many techniques we teach in our book and video The Art of Female
Ejaculation which was copyright protected under the Library
of Congress in 2002 (apparently well before the makers of this
technique came out with claims of it). The technique is not presented
as a female ejaculation technique, but it is a way to provide
less over and under stimulation on the clitoris.
However,
it does seem odd that this company has named a technique that
sounds similar to one of the techniques that I teach in my book
and video The Art
of Female Ejaculation and claims it to be secret and
found no where else.
I
would like to point out that you would have a hard time trying
to get a patent on a sexual technique. Why? Because what can be
done sexually has most likely been done before long before someone
tries to claim they invented it. It would be like trying to claim
that you invented rubbing your nose because of a tickle sensation
and then blowing it. That combination of actions is not considered
a secret technique, nor should anything in sexual behavior. I
am here to educate people about their sexuality and I certainly
find it ridiculous for anyone to claim that they invented a technique
that no one else knows about or sells information about.
If
you are going to sell or provide sexual information, you should
focus more on why it is effective, not try and make it seem valuable
because no one else has ever taught it or thought of it before
because you end up looking foolish in my opinion.
Can
The Mitusa Technique Or Any Technique Be 100% Effective?
While the
Mitusa site does claim to "guarantee extremely intense orgasms."
There is no sexual technique that is going to be 100% effective
for ALL women at all times. Yes, we are all capable of the same
things as we have the same equipment, but how well that equipment
is working and the psyche of the person owning that equipment
is just as important. There are many components to sexuality which
require a holistic approach not just a physical one.
That is why
our book and video on
female ejaculation has done so well, not just because
it addresses techniques, but because we look at addressing psychological
and mental aspects of a woman's sexuality as well. Learning some
"technique" is great, but certainly not the end all
answer.
It is why
Viagra only works on 2/3rds of men who use it... there is no 100%
fool proof sexual technique, drug or toy. We are more than just
a body, and if you do not take a holistic approach to sex, then
you are not seeing the "whole" picture.
What's
The Verdict From Feedback?
From
what I have heard from our readers, the Mitusa technique is more
marketing hype than anything else to get people to give them $30
or personal sexual information in exchange for basic oral sex
information.
One
of our readers summed up his thoughts on the topic by saying this...
"I read the Mitusa information and so did my girlfriend.
While you get oral sex information, we did not find it all that
the site made it out to be by a long shot and have found this
whole phenomenon of people marketing themselves as knowing this
general oral sex information as an asset to date or have sex with
them as downright lame."
Most
people seemed indifferent or complacent about the Mitusa technique
and no one wrote in saying that it was a really good technique,
other that Mr. "X" who seemed mad because we were somehow
screwing with his dating scheme.
More
than anything, I think this topic opened up the opportunity to
explore how companies market sex techniques and I found it to
be something that needed to be talked about with so much out there
on the Net these days. Hope it helps you draw your own conclusions
about what you think is important and clears up some of the mystery
on Mitusa.
