Ebony, Ivory & Jade

I did not understand what is meant by licking a man. I thought men were sucked in. Never saw the movie but from what I found out about it. It is not really worth watching. The poster though is reminiscing of Charlie's Angels.

However lick can also mean informally to hit or beat, thrash or whip,
to overcome or defeat, as in a fight, game, or contest. Is this suppose to mean that the movie who turns loose 3 foxy mamas has done this as a support for the Women lib movement? Or was it just a statement they added to mellow up the slightly racist title.
