It's Friday which means I can ask a sex question, right? (oral!)

[YellowToeNail]

Please don't take the piss. I just want one simple answer - spit or swallow?

Backstory - Been with my boyfriend for 4 months. I'm a bit of a novice in the bedroom and haven't dare do that yet - even though he's done it to me a few times. Keep wanting to but the truth is, I don't know what the hell I'm doing . The last time I gave a blowjob was about 6/7 years ago and I remember a strong gag reflex - hardly romantic! But then, I wasn't really attracted to that guy so different situation this time.

So what IS the norm? spit? swallow? catch in bog roll? He's staying over tonight and I want to treat him. I know he's been wanting it but is too polite to ask me to do it.

Greggs/river of sweetcorn/hamster casserole etc etc

I quite like giving my husband a bj but i never swallow. I just don't like the taste or texture. I catch it in my mouth then meander into the en suite and spit it out down the sink. He doesn't care, he's just delighted he's had his quarterly bj!

Don't over think your technique. If you're into the sex and in the mood you'll give a good bj and even enjoy it!

It's a while since I've done this, but I liked the pearl necklace, or often used to hold in my mouth and then kiss DP, (snowball?).
Really I think just do what feels right for you, and you will both get pleasure from it.

Deep throat swallow sounds horrendous. Why would you?

Also amazed at people noshing cock while preggers. As if! My h didn't even get snogged for about 6 months poor fella!

Sorry Erik, TMI I've now realized !

Hope it went well, op

Swallower here. I've eaten some weird things in my life, Im quite nonplussed about the taste of sperm.

FYI Pineapple juice will improve the taste.

Urgh, I hate semen...the taste, smell, texture just turns my stomach I'm afraid! Although I'm happy to give a BJ I never let a man come in my mouth. Yellow, you do what you want, it's your body after all and there are no rules to say you even have to let a man CIM. If it were me I'd give a BJ then finish him off by hand and let him come over himself. I like to watch it anyway; I don't think I'll ever stop finding ejaculation fascinating!

But swallowing saves on the whole sticky tissues/wet duvet thing - this is the big argument in its favour.

Swallow most times

Do what you want to do.

You being comfortable and enjoying it is what he will want

I like a pearl necklace too

a pearl necklace? i'ld be like, eurgh, what's that for?

(not a real pearl necklace, obviously)

I don't mind swallowing- but then I also like oysters

Semen can taste very very different from man to man TMI. My last partner's tasted very nice- I think because he ate a lot of fruit.

Vegetarian non-smokers have the best tasting spunk IMO.
I would swallow or have him come on me, I can't see the point of spitting, you've already tasted it by then so you might as well swallow.

Not wanting to spoil the fun but.....is anyone aware of some risk factors here? - article by Elaine Schattner on www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/01/is-oral-sex-to-blame-for-the-surge-in-cancer-0f-the-mouth-and-throat?

(not sure if this link will work)

That's why I wouldn't do it

Well, I smoke and live in a very polluted city- so am quite willing to risk something as enjoyable as oral sex!

Link won't work but really?

I swallow slowly. I like the taste and the sensation.

But it has been an acquired taste. I was a dedicated spitter for many years.

There is a third alternative.

Swerve.

No it doesn't work completely, but this should take you to the Atlantic webpage where you can enter in the search box something like:

Elaine Schattner oral sex and mouth cancer

and that should take you to the link to the article (or just Google it). Other research also around on this possibility

I never use to swallow but I do with dp. I also do deep throat swallows too, more for sensation like the feel of the cock in the back of my throat. but the switching and jumping on, coming on boobs or neck or face or his belly are all old favs as well. there is no right answer really what ever you feel comfy with.
