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

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.

Lovely active sex life with hubby and we don't feel the need for oral lol

Hiker50 · 27/05/2024 19:44

@MaryMaryVeryContrary No it's awful..
Some middle aged man talking about giving oral to a woman to his son and his friends. My god. Did he say - your mum likes...!

Women are individuals. Oral sex isn't the same for us all. We aren't an oven you turn on. There isn't one set of instructions.
Apart from the utter seedy unpleasantness of it all. Do you think his mum gave his sister instructions on how to give a man a BJ?!
Sex is about communication with your partner not a random middle aged man.

I’m sure you can sit yourself down and have a glass of water to recover.

Sex is part of an adult relationship. This the relationship board and adults are capable of discussing it with maturity and interest.

It's got nowt to do with being a prude. The OP hasn't been back and I'm fairly sure stuff like this is posted as wank fodder on a regular basis by people online. The only other post by the OP is a similar one from 2 days ago again asking again in much naivety about sex acts.

I'm sure either way, the OP has got what they wanted.

KarenOH · 27/05/2024 19:56

DH prefers to give than receive and will do so every time we are intimate. I’m fine to give and enjoy it but he can take it or leave it.

cressydy · 27/05/2024 19:58

No-one likes getting a mouthful of salty, slimy muck, no. Cop on.

Why did you not consider posting this in the Sex topic op?

Sevenwondersofthewoo · 27/05/2024 20:00

if no oral or using hands and just PIV that bloody hurts.

in fact I know it’s hurts as my ex tried that the twat

some form of oral is happening so you can have PIV surely without it hurting

Why did you not consider posting this in the Sex topic op?

Likely because you have to be a member of MN a certain length of time before you can.

fairlyp · 27/05/2024 20:00

Can't believe how many replies this has got. OP will be wanking himself dry for days.

Differentstarts · 27/05/2024 20:02

99% of the time unless where literally having a quickie. Iv never been in a relationship where oral wasn't a big part of our sex lives.

OfficeOrganisationalCompartment · 27/05/2024 18:49

What’s wrong with sharing that?

Why would the idea of your children walking in mid sex be something anyone shares fgs?

Because it’s a super relatable thing to share on a parenting forum for parents? Why are you so shocked?

Why do so many people on here think their experience and views reflect everyone else’s? It’s a really weird phenomenon I’ve genuinely only seen on mumsnet. Fascinating!

It's not one size fits all & there's no right or wrong way to do things. Not everyone likes the same things. Best way to find out what you like is to try it, see how you get on. And it doesn't matter who goes first!

Motheranddaughter · 27/05/2024 20:19

Standard for us
Married 30 years, are on our late 50s
But don’t do anything you don’t want to do

Southlondoner88 · 27/05/2024 20:19

I’ve never not done it, and would be confused if it wasn’t done to me, does your husband just throw it in without foreplay? I usually cum a few times with oral before sex, otherwise I wouldn’t be ready for intercourse.

Raera · 27/05/2024 20:22

Married 42 years, both enjoy giving and receiving and do so regularly

gamerchick · 27/05/2024 20:26

AliceCallous · 27/05/2024 17:35

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

You can't be serious!!

Well... It's right there in my post. If you can't picture it then I can't help you. Maybe practise with wanking first.

existentialpain · 27/05/2024 20:30

I prefer to give. I've never really enjoyed receiving and can't come from it although I don't really know why. I've always felt quite unusual in that sense.

PopcornPop · 27/05/2024 20:31

XiCi · 27/05/2024 17:33

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.

I wouldn't like to say as don't want to single any out.. and people on this thread have said their partners don't like doing it so not all men do.

SauronsArsehole · 27/05/2024 20:31

Are you happy? If yes. Crack on how you are.

are you wanting to try this? Talk to your husband then crack on and give it a try.

don’t like it? Stop.

fwiw I won’t date a man who doesn’t like oral. I love it. Both ways. Also, Contraceptives for me are very limited and if oral can get us both off and we’re both happy with less regular intercourse then I don’t have to worry about pregnancy as much. Soon as I can find a man willing to have a vasectomy; god help him 🤣

DonnaBanana · 27/05/2024 20:32

Of course people do it! I did it on my now husband on our first date to be totally honest. We don't do it anymore though because our tastes have changed over the years.

I can assure you I've got wanking down to a fine art 😂

Wow, so you weren't joking?? No way.

Fernand · 27/05/2024 20:39

PopcornPop · 27/05/2024 15:29

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 doesn’t like doing oral?? Is it giving and/or receiving?

LadyHavelockVetinari · 27/05/2024 20:40

ZippyZappyZoo · 27/05/2024 19:29

I didn’t give oral sex for years, not sure why. Laziness and my ocd in overdrive I think. Influenced by a friend who proclaimed it gross to do that when you kiss your kids with the same mouth.

however I actually enjoy giving oral so I absolutely do. He loves it and I want to make him happy. He also gives me oral but not as much because i don’t like it that much.

I'm sorry but your friend is ridiculous! Doesn't she know where those children came from...
