DH used to when we were dating. Then he tailed off as we became a proper couple. He hasn't done it once since we married 6 years ago.

I've made comments, joked about it, he says sure. Bit it's all funny. And then we have sex and he goes absolutely no where near it. Just wham bam thank you mam.

I could be more direct with my request but I'm fairly sure he actually really isn't keen on it and it makes me feel ashamed that he would need to be persuaded into it.

Not looking for relationship advice (though fuck knows I need it)...just intrigued to find out if it still happens for other women in long term relationships?

Or do all men stop when they think they don't have to anymore?

Mixed feelings on this. I didn’t like it with my exbut would like it with current partner but he is very squeamish and uptight anyway - have been together nearly a year when we met - we did not have sex for a few months until he got more confident and it was only a few weeks ago
before he was able to orgasm so I hope we will get to him going down on me eventually…😀

we were both working from home, kids were at school and we had sex 3 times, including 2 blow job's entirely initiated by me

Ah now I realise why some of my colleagues are reluctant to return to the officeGrin

Stealth Boast! 😂

@HonestAnswersOnly For me, it wouldn't necessarily be about the oral sex. I would certainly prefer to be with someone who liked it, but if they just couldn't enjoy it, so be it. We'd do other things.

However, I don't think I could ever be in a long-term relationship with a man who found women and their bodies icky and gross and was 'squeamish' about vaginas. I'd find that impossible to deal with. (Similarly, if I was a man I don't think I could be with the kind of person you sometimes encounter on Mumsnet who is all 'Ewww, willies! Gross!' about men.)

What else were men put on earth for? 😄

Perplexed0522 · 29/06/2022 13:59

Are there any sex toys that are designed to simulate oral sex on a woman? I would love it if there was.

I might head over to Google….. 😂

@Perplexed0522 There are new clit sucker toys on the market. I haven’t tried but watching with interest in case anyone else has. They seem to get good reviews.

NutellaCrumpet1 · 29/06/2022 14:16

My husband does it everytime we have sex. He always makes sure I orgasim before we have PIV... then most of the time after too... unless the baby wakes up and interrupts us.

CS222 · 29/06/2022 14:16

@Perplexed0522 @PartyPlan they are well worth the money, trust me. Even for women like me who have very skilled and caring DHs.. they are good for any time you're on your own or just to do something different together.

Furrbabymama1987 · 29/06/2022 18:21

I'm a fan of the clit suckers, I've heard people say they emulate oral sex but personally I don't think they feel like that. This may sound crude but to me it feels like when you pass wind sitting down and it ripples to the front and passes the clitoris. It's that but repetitive until you reach orgasm.

Given the Private Eye allegations about the Prime Minister's at the time mistress, I wonder if he reciprocates?

Thank you for sharing ALL these details. Even if most of them have made me feel like I'm living the life of a nun. There was someone who talked about snagging their own husband 3 times in one afternoon including two blow jobs. I thought that was the stuff of films.

I will talk to DH but I instinctely know he doesn't do it because he doesn't like it. He is squeamish and generally seems to find vaginas fairly unattractive. I just didn't know if we were unusual in that it's the first thing to go when you become long term and tired middle aged people.

That was me and that really is our sex life. I was married previously to someone like your husband and the difference is night and day.

My DH really, really does make me feel desired, loved and excuse my language but very fuckable. I feel the same way about him. We still do all the domesticated stuff of married people and parents but we love time together and sex is a huge part of our marriage. It keeps us connected and present with one another.

You don't deserve to feel this way.

I'm 41
DH is 47.

Lockeddownagain · 04/07/2022 04:26

You saying you feel fuckable made me totally cringe this is my point

LoisLane66 · 04/07/2022 05:09

No, no and thrice times no.
Never liked giving or receiving and TG my OH (who doesn't live with me) isn't keen to give or get either.
I don't even rate sex now. Overrated and a lot of fuss over 5 minutes of actual action and TBH, even when I was in my late teens 20s and throughout married life, I was never that keen, although we had 5 children which were never planned as such and never used contraception.
Oral. No.

Um ..in a male going down on a female scenario ,how does the male breathe ? Is it all about a pillow under the female's hips ?

Asking for a friend (rather elderly) obviously !

I use a snorkel.

More seriously, tongue and lips connect with the business end, nose hovers just above the pubic mound, so the giver can breathe through their nose.

Seems a pretty unexceptional query to me.

DW went through phases. First, no way would she let me. Then she let me and realized she liked it. Then I bought some power tools and she prefers them so I don't go down on her that much now. I sometimes think I must be bad at it, but the only other person I've had sex with went crazy for it: she'd grab my head and shove me downstairs at every opportunity.

peridito · 04/07/2022 08:52

Thank you Catullus .You do make it sound straightforward .I imagine the state of one's sinuses ( particularly in the hayfever season ) may play a part .But I was ever one to over complicate .Smile
