Cake and Cunnilingus Day is a satirical holiday celebrated on 14 April as a female response to Steak and Blowjob Day, which is celebrated on 14 March.[1][2] It was created in 2006 by web designer, writer and filmmaker Ms. Naughty and has since been adopted in multiple countries as a day to emphasize female enjoyment and honor women.

Events[edit]

On this day, women are supposed to eat cake and receive oral sex (cunnilingus). The event has been created as a female response to Steak and Blowjob Day, observed one month before it.[3] In a similar fashion to Steak and Blowjob Day, which supports breast cancer awareness, Cake and Cunnilingus Day has been intended to support charities such as the Prostate Cancer Foundation.[4][5]

History[edit]

In 2006, web designer, writer and filmmaker Ms. Naughty made a post on her blog proclaiming the day. She wrote, "women should have a day where they get to eat as much cake as they want and enjoy getting their clit licked without hesitation.”[2]

Reception[edit]

German daily newspaper Schwarzwälder Bote considered the day to be the equivalent of Steak and Blowjob Day (or "Schnitzel und Blowjob Tag" ("Schniblo") as it is commonly known in Germany),[6] while Stern considered it to be "revenge" for the latter.[7] Online news portal news.de [de] felt that "women are simply great – and therefore cannot be honored and pampered enough days a year. At least that's what they thought when they invented Cake and Cunnilingus Day".[8] The lifestyle magazine Jolie wondered if every day should be Cake and Cunnilingus Day.[9] Swedish night newspaper Expressen and web magazine Nyheter24 stated that it is a day to celebrate female enjoyment,[10][11] while Göteborgs-Posten listed the day among the holidays celebrated in April.[12] Newsroom platform Mynewsdesk stated: "There is a day just for us girls too."[13] Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet felt that female pleasure must be prioritized.[14] Norwegian online newspaper Nettavisen stated that "the origin of the day is a bit uncertain, but the day has been marked more or less solemnly for several years".[15]

In Spain, ABC, El Confidencial and La Vanguardia consider the day to be International Cunnilingus Day.[16][17][18] Russian news website Life claimed that despite it sounding silly, it can bring happiness to couples.[19] Agency of News Unian suggested one "start with a cake, and a bouquet of flowers".[20] Danish daily newspaper Politiken thinks, "women living such joyless lives that they have to have an annual anniversary in the calendar to eat cake and feel some sexual pleasure".[21] Ukrainian MPort suggested celebrating the day on March 20.[22]

In Italy, various newspapers were confused about the origins of the day.[23][24] Il Fatto Quotidiano named the day "festa del sesso orale per sole donne" ("oral sex party for women only").[25]
