Cherry Chapstick is one of the hottest sexual slang terms and it sometimes seems like everyone is using it.

But what does cherry chapstick mean?

Cherry Chapstick is a slang term that is used to describe a red or enlarged clitoris and vagina. This is due to sexual stimulation and can be a result of foreplay or sex. The term likely came about because the color of the sexual organ can change when someone is aroused.

In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the meaning of the euphemism, Cherry Chapstick.

What Does Cherry Chapstick Mean? (Detailed Explanation)

As mentioned, Cherry Chapstick means that a woman possesses a reddish and/or swollen clit and vagina due to sexual stimulation.

The term is most often used in the lesbian community, but it can also be used by heterosexual couples. Anyone, really.

When the clit is stimulated, it becomes engorged with blood and can increase in size. This can make it more sensitive to touch and can lead to heightened pleasure during sex.

The term “cherry” is often used to refer to the visible part of the clitoris, which is usually somewhat small and pink.

When a woman becomes aroused, the clitoris may become engorged with blood and will enlarge in size. This is what gives it a reddish appearance, similar to that of a cherry.

Cherry Chapstick can also be used as a way to describe someone who is very aroused and ready for sex.

You might be wondering, “Why chapstick, though?”

If you consider where chapstick goes (on your lips), I think you’ll get it. Also, this might refer to a lover “getting Cherry Chapstick” by placing their mouth and lips on and around the reddened clit.

And other areas.

If you are looking to get your partner hot and bothered, then engaging in some “Cherry Chapstick” focussed action might just do the trick.

Wait, What About That Katy Perry Song?

You know the one with the line, “I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick…”

Yeah, that can just mean literal cherry chapstick-flavored chapstick.

But, songwriters (and writers in general) often use words and phrases with double or triple meanings.

I don’t think it’s too far of a reach to say that Katy might have been playing around with the sexual slang in her song. Not too far of a reach at all.

I mean the entire song is about sexual experimentation.

Sure, Katy says she would rewrite some of the lyrics with 20/20 hindsight (the song is over 10 years old) but the gist of the song seems to represent potentially closeted bisexuality.

But I digress.

What Does Cherry Chapstick Mean From a Woman?

It could mean that she enjoys being stimulated sexually and that talking about Cherry Chapstick is just one way that she likes to be turned on.

It could also mean that she’s a bit of a kinkster.

She might enjoy things that are a bit on the wilder side.

Ultimately, if a woman is openly talking about her clitoris and vagina with you, it's a pretty clear sign that she’s sexually attracted to you.

Duh.

Because the clitoris is so sensitive, this increase in blood flow can make it very sensitive to touch. This can lead to intense pleasure for some women.

For others, it may be uncomfortable or even painful.

Regardless, it is clear that Cherry Chapstick is a powerful symbol of female sexual arousal.

What Does Cherry Chapstick Mean From A Man?

It means he’s into you.

He’s also probably trying to get you wet and turned on. When a man says Cherry Chapstick, it usually means he’s interested in having sex with you and preparing you for said sexual encounter.

He might be feeling love or intimacy (or unbridled lust), so this is his way of initiating communication.

It means he wants you.

He could also be testing the sexual waters to see how you respond to a suggestive phrase.

Any man worth his salt knows that one of the most important parts of foreplay is getting your partner properly aroused. And there are worse ways to do that than by starting with sexy talk and then going down on her and giving her some good old-fashioned oral sex.

Within minutes, hopefully, she’ll be moaning with pleasure and begging for more.

In the right context of mutual attraction and consent, Cherry Chapstick can be such a handy tool in the bedroom.

How To Respond to a Cherry Chapstick Message From Women

Of course, the best way to respond will depend on the context of the conversation and your relationship with the person in question.

First and foremost, do not freak out.

This is a perfectly normal and healthy response to sexual stimulation, and there’s no need to be embarrassed. Simply let her know that you’re turned on and happy to please her.

If you’re just casually chatting with someone online, you might simply and playfully flirt back.

However, if you’re in a more intimate relationship with someone, you might want to take the opportunity to discuss what they find pleasurable when they are aroused.

You can even ask them to show you.

If you’re not already aroused, you may want to take a moment to get yourself worked up before responding.

Ultimately, there is no right or wrong answer here it’s all about what makes you and your partner comfortable. So if you’re ever unsure about how to respond to something like this, just remember to stay true to yourself and your own preferences.
