To think oral sex is unpleasant?

Name changed for obvious reasons.

I should specify - I mean receiving oral sex, not giving it. Giving it I don't mind either way, but receiving really gives me the ick for some reason (even hypothetically from someone I'm otherwise attracted to).

Am I alone in this?

I don't like my dh doing it. He's not good at it. Two previous partners were mind blowing. Like pretty much all sex- it's skill. So I don't like it now, and am very very happy, and very satisfied (thankfully dh has a specific set of skills, highly honed and dangerous Wink in that area- just not oral) each time their own, right?

I love it, and am body confident (but fat - not generic magazine 'hot').

Has to be the right person doing it though.

Changechangychange · 31/03/2021 21:57

Depends on who is doing it. Nothing to do with body confidence - done badly it is like being slavered over by a dog.

DowntonCrabby · 31/03/2021 21:59

Hey, I absolutely love it, DH is truly spectacular.

YANBU though! Everyone is allowed their own opinions and feelings on anything they wish.

mummyh2016 · 31/03/2021 21:59

Same! I find it so uncomfortable.

Mummadeze · 31/03/2021 22:00

Definitely find it gross. Wouldn’t matter if they were expert or not. Don’t want tongue or saliva near there. I won’t share cutlery or food or toothbrushes for the same reason. Yuck. Luckily only a few men have really wanted to do it. Most are happy not to!

ITSADOGSLIFE21 · 31/03/2021 22:00

I love giving & receiving. I wouldn't say I'm body confident but my husband obviously loves doing it & its such a good feeling for me.

dotdashdashdash · 31/03/2021 22:00

For me it's not about body confidence or who is doing it, I just don't like it. I don't like anal either, or being on top. I also don't like carrots. Personal preference isn't it.

Bufferingkisses · 31/03/2021 22:01

Always hated it, life long aversion. Until this partner that is. I decided to try it because I knew he loved giving, turns out I love it with him - couple of key points though, one "technique" I despise, he tried I said absolutely not, he never tried again. Also he never liked receiving but decided to try and also loved it. Like many things sexual it isn't just a matter of what it's also who, how, when, where etc.

Lullaby88 · 31/03/2021 22:01

Like some people have said dont mind giving it as long as the guy is clean snd showered etc. But recieving it nope nope nope. It feels strange af.

barnabybarbie · 31/03/2021 22:01

Amen to all of this! (except roasted carrots, they're my only vice in that list Grin).

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 31/03/2021 22:02

I don’t really like giving it very much Grin I think I have a slightly selfish side...

I’m quite happy receiving it, but very much as a warm up act, not as a main event.

@AlCalavicci

Only if it is done right , a friend ( honest ) once told me her BF does it like a dog licking a ice cream, I could never quite look at him the same again !
Ha ha!! And it depends what dog!

Apparently you need to mouth the alphabet for it to be pleasurable ?!

Bellabelloo · 31/03/2021 22:03

So many men seem to enjoy doing it but are so bad at it. If it's really bad I feel icky.

CirqueDeMorgue · 31/03/2021 22:03

YABU!

LibertyMole · 31/03/2021 22:05

It is the only thing I miss about being married.

Nitpickpicnic · 31/03/2021 22:06

I did have a unicorn boyfriend- one who didn’t like BJs. He was very clear about it early on. Also asked me to please not see it as a challenge, or go on about it! Obviously previous partners had tried to analyse why, or convince him of the merits. It was a bit strange to have to remove that skill set from my repertoire. It really did make me want to do it more!

For me, oral is the bit I look forward to most- and the biggest disappointment if the giver turns out to be untalented or perfunctory.

MobyDicksTinyCanoe · 31/03/2021 22:10

I used to find it boring, in fact I'd have a sneaky go on candy crush Blush until one night we changed position to lying on sides (( 69)) absolute gamechanger. Reaches all the right spots for some reason. WinkGrin

dundermifflinpapersalesman1 · 31/03/2021 22:11

Before meeting my DH I didn’t used to like it. Now I love it. 🥰

Beseigedbykillersquirrels · 31/03/2021 22:11

@Happycat1212

See I hate this, it just reinforces to men that they should get it but women shouldn’t receive it because it’s “yucky and dirty” i wonder how many men don’t want a bJ because it gives them the “ick” bet none 😂
You hate that some women don't enjoy oral and therefore choose not to receive it? Weird. Not everything is a man Vs woman issue.

You can dislike something but calling it icky and yucky is unnecessary telling people that it’s something that’s “disgusting” how about just saying you don’t like it?

BoozeBegone · 31/03/2021 22:13

@Fyredraca

It's such an intimate thing that if you don't feel comfortable in your skin or with your partner then I can imagine it's not enjoyable.
not this with me AT ALL. I love my body and adore my partner. I just don't like the sensation and it lacks intimacy for me.
LizBennet · 31/03/2021 22:14

If it’s done right I prefer it to actual sex.

Wow! Didn't realise there were so many different techniques involved in giving oral 🤔
