The single word for to perform fellatio on is the verb fellate.

Is there an analogous word for cunnilingus?

    Without trying to get too vulgar here, the term "to eat-out" is widely used

The OED provides the obvious answer for the corresponding verb under its headword for the noun cunnilingus, which is of course (to) cunnilingue:

ˈcunnilingue v. trans. and intr.

to practise cunnilingus (on).

  • 1887 L. C. Smithers tr. Forberg’s Man. Class. Erotology v. 122
    A man who is in the habit of putting out his tongue for the obscene act of cunnilinging.
  • 1905 Havelock Ellis Stud. Psychol. Sex. IV. 21
    Cunnilingus was a very familiar manifestation in classic times;..it tends to be especially prevalent at all periods of high civilization.
  • 1969 G. Legman Rationale of Dirty Joke viii. 566
    A man comes home and finds the vicar cunnilinguing his wife.

The OED does provide other citations as well, but those should suffice to illustrate the matter without risking too much undue titillation or cachinnation in those prone to such.

If one were prone to abstruse extended senses and polypuns, I suppose that cunnilingue might also be what one does during a notably succulent course of Hasenpfeffer.

  • Aha! This is the answer. I'm surprised I couldn't find this word on any non-community online dictionaries.

There's a good old-fashioned word (popular in Victorian erotica, but sadly fallen out of favor) that covers both fellatio and cunnilingus: gamahuche. Let's bring it back!

It's a transitive verb ("I'm going to gamahuche her") as well as a noun ("She says I give great gamahuche.")

    This is probably the best answer. While it's not a perfect fit for what I was looking for, it's a real, non-slang single verb.

    Absolutely great answer - love the word, and I might even try to slip it into regular personal use. It is probably not-done to remark on the appropriateness of a username with regard to the given answer, so I will refrain from that.

    Dean Wesley Smith used it in his short-story Cutting Down Fred. wmgpublishinginc.com/project/cutting-down-fred (included in the Dinosaur Fantastic anthology). Funny coincidence to stumble on this question within a day of listening to the audiobook of that story.

Yes.

In the vernacular of American English, and when taken in the proper context, "ate" would seem to be an appropriate single word when used in a sentence like: "He ate her pussy"; it being understood that reference wasn't being made to a meal made of the resident feline.

  • While technically this answer is correct, it feels like slang to me, so it doesn't quite fit the context I was looking for.

Consider cunnilinguate.

cunnilinguate: to perform cunnilingus (or cunnilinctus)

    Given your first two links, this seems like a made-up word. I wish this were the right word, because it perfectly fits the context I was looking for.
