The act of a woman or person with a clitoris masturbating while laying face down.
Named after Netflix's Sex Education character Aimee, who is shown doing this in Season 1. Afterwards, she tells friends: âIâve been wanking all night; I ate four packets of crumpets, and I think my clit might drop off."
Crumpeting is the preferred masturbation position of many people because it puts pleasurable weight and pressure on the genitals. There is also a feminist element to the celebration of crumpeting, in that a lot of porn designed to cater to the male gaze shows women wanking on their backs, legs splayed wide so that men can see everything; in reality, plenty of women prefer touching themselves in ways that are less about performing for others and more about genuinely pleasuring themselves.
"Crumpeting is my favourite way to reach orgasm. I like to lay on top of my vibrator with the duvet pulled over me, all cosy."
