Who performs oral sex on their partner? Is it unusual to never do it?

321 replies

How many couples are there out there who do oral sex?

Does your male partner goes down on you?

Do you perform oral sex on them?

My husband and I have never done it. I was wondering if we are unusual not to.

Do most couples do it?

When I see a sex scene in a film, the man often goes down on the woman first. Does this represent sex in most relationships?

I just have no idea, because I don't ask my friends about this.

Personally I don’t like receiving it which has damaged a few egos of people who think they’re soo good, but I’ve tried lots of times and find it soo boring 😂. So now I just say no.
I will give it if asked but I don’t love giving it, not a huge fan of the smell or taste of precum

"Their loveliness"

Eeww don't be so disgustingly twee. Everyone fucks. Talking about it is healthy and reduces shame.

OP if both partners in the relationship are happy then it really doesn't matter what others are doing. But IME it's v unusual not to (both ways)

It was a typo,if you can't work it out,I meant LOVELIVES,but hey,if you don't mind some perv wanking over your intimate details go ahead!

Potential relationships have ended in the bedroom when the other person dislikes oral.

I only date men from a certain culture so I've often thought that might be the reason but the majority I've come across haven't done it and have been very much against it.

What culture is this @PopcornPop ?

I've never had sex with a man that wasn't enthusiastic about going down on me. DH and I have oral every time, either as foreplay or the main event. I honestly would not be with someone that didn't give oral as I love it.

How does he make you orgasm without oral? Does he use his hands?

I assumed they had penetrative sex?

You don't let them cum in your mouth. When it happens, pull forskin up and nip it at the top. Catches it all and you can hand the parcel back over to him to sort out.

It does take a bit of practice to get a technique that works for the individual like. It's also fine not to want to do it.

I'm sorry, you do what with their foreskin??

You can't be serious!!

LostittoBostik · 27/05/2024 17:35

@ExhaustedHousewife I mean, sure that's a minor risk I guess, but it's all totally anonymous so a) who cares and b) more importantly it might actually help out the OP.

If this thread isn't for you, I totally get it. But to turn up just to criticise others for choosing to participate is unnecessary.

Blimey. The mind boggles.

PansyPolly · 27/05/2024 17:37

Also @ExhaustedHousewife no one is giving a blow by blow (ha!) account. It’s all fairly general - “yes, we do/no we don’t/I prefer to give/receive”

StrawberryWater · 27/05/2024 17:40

I love giving and receiving.

My husband likes neither so we just don't do it.

I do miss it I have to say. Sigh. Thankfully I can come from PIV about 95% of the time. But yeah I miss it.

countrysidelife2024 · 27/05/2024 17:43

my husband gives me oral maybe 6 times a year, i give him oral maybe 3 or 4, neither of us feel the need to do it more, we just get right into it Haha

Georgyporky · 27/05/2024 17:44

@Sumspring How about a poll ?

Branleuse · 27/05/2024 17:45

He goes down on me more than I do him, but I quite like giving oral too. Its a normal part of sex

Mrsdyna · 27/05/2024 17:46

No, neither of us can be bothered with it 😂

Somepeoplearesnippy · 27/05/2024 17:55

Neither of us like giving or receiving oral sex.

How did he feel about having that talk, OP? You must be grateful Grin but was he?

MILTOBE · 27/05/2024 18:01

WappityWabbit · 27/05/2024 15:41

Yuck! I can't stand it being done to me and refuse to do it to my DH either. I know he'd probably like it but it's not happening. 🤮
To be fair, I don't like sex and quite pleased that we're older and DH doesn't bother trying anymore.

Did you ever like sex? Did you think marriage was just about companionship?

NalafromtheLionKing · 27/05/2024 18:02

No (even the thought gives me the ick) and I am long term happily married.

Edited

People choosing to share details is fine. Personally, I found the post about sucking their partners dick quickly before children come in disgusting. Been on here long enough to know people actually do things like this ew

greengreyblue · 27/05/2024 18:06

Those that can climax through piv sex…. Just how????

Usernamesarenoteasy · 27/05/2024 18:06

I hate it done on me. Really don't like it at all. However I am more than happy to do it on a man. Really really enjoy pleasing a man that way.
I think it would be quite unusual for it not to feature at all though.

I couldn't tell you how, but I honestly don't think I have ever had piv sex and not climaxed.

So interested in this!!! There's research on this and only 10% of women can climax from piv alone. Most can't, so it is unusual/enviable

Bubblybits · 27/05/2024 18:13

I seem unusual in my friendship circle that I don’t like receiving oral. I much prefer hands/toys, so my husband does that for me. I have been trying to relax a bit more into it but I find it really hard work, which sex really shouldn’t be 😂 However, I enjoy giving oral as much as he enjoys receiving it, so that’s a fairly standard part of sex for us.
