Your preference for semen volume. T.M.F.I.

[The Great Sun Jester]

As requested here (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10370678#post10370678).

When assisting a male partner to climax do you prefer him to deliver a larger or smaller volume of issue:

a) visually (external issue ala hand job, pearl necklace, etc)

b) orally

c) vaginally

d) anally

e) other

[Debon Err]

f) All of the above

The more the merrier!

[Litoris]

This made me LOL. Well, more like E(vil)LOL.

For me, the answer would be as long as they're all duds, the volume is irrelevant.

*blink* Until I read this post and the one linked in the OP, it had not actually occurred to me that one might have a preference regarding semen volume in the purely aesthetic arena. I can see having a preference if one is actively attempting reproduction, but it never struck me as a matter about which to have an opinion. Therefore, I don't.

[CaerieD]

You know, now that I really think about it I'd say larger on all, but most especially A. I've got a real thing for, ah, being "painted."[/SIZE]

At first I thought this, then with some more thought, I realized that the very low volume/trajectory "oozers" aren't as much fun as the normal guys. But, lest I cause Doper men to open their Sperm - I mean, Spam Folders, I'm talking a very few unenthusiastic cummers that truly are subnormal, and generally have been consuming copious amounts of alcohol and/or herbage. Chances are very good that you're fine and normal, and I'd be pleased with your friendly fire. ;)

Mostly, having abnormally high volumes of semen is just messy, and not in a particularly fun way. Shooting 12 inches is not really more interesting or impressive than shooting 3.

So I guess I'm a middle of the road kinda gal.

[Palo Verde]

I can't imagine caring about such a thing. With all of things to worry about in terms of sex, it's not even close to being on my radar.

[malkavia]

Having "visually" as an option made me laugh. ;) Ow, my eye.

As for an answer, this is so much further on the totem pole of what I need from you during sex that if you're asking about it at all, I expect that you've already reached perfection in all other ways.

In other words, :dubious:

[The Great Sun Jester]

As noted upthread, it's a purely aesthetic question. Sexy is going on, Yay! But if you had your druthers would you rather feel like you imagined the whole thing or that you've been visited by a horse?

The amount is immaterial to me, other than less mess probably is better. I'm not going to be any more impressed with a greater quantity. I'd prefer you not squirt on me anyways, thankyouverymuch.

I surely don't want to feel like I've been visited by a horse. Ouch.

See, I've apparently never run across one of those gentlemen myself. Hence, the correlation never occured to me :D

I'm still going to maintain that I've got no real opinion here.

Is the hanging tag a subtle hint to indicate you are a size queen too?

No, that was just because I was going to make that last bit a smaller font and then forget to edit out the end tag when I changed my mind. Talk about an unfortunate coding error...

My wife likes when I have more volume, but not simply for volume's sake. More volume means more throbbing and twitching as it comes out, and that's what really turns her on. She loves feeling me coming inside her. The longer and more intense it is, the more she loves it.

a) visually (external issue ala hand job, pearl necklace, etc)

More is better, it's just awesome to watch a huge load shoot out, up and all over. It almost feels like they're more into when they produce a ton.

b) orally

I've never been a swallower, so not really an issue.

c) vaginally

Being a gay male, this is a non-issue.

d) anally

Top here, so not really an issue.

e) other

More. See my response to A.

[black rabbit]

Mine goes to eleven.

[Cyn]

I like lots and we keep the nightstands at both our places stocked with useful items to aid in clean-up and comfortable sleep---nobody likes the wet spot.

Visually - More is better. Show me how much ya like it! Seeing how hard and how much he orgasms shows me just how much he liked it.

Orally - Honestly, right now, probably smaller volume for me in this. I've only orally serviced my man twice to orgasm, and the first time, TMIafter swallowing, yes, I swallow ;) I ran for some juice because it was my very first time tasting so much at once. Might have been first time ever. The second time was much better. Aquired taste I guess.

Vaginally - N/A as a gay male

Anally - Definite more is better. I like to feel him twitching in me and filling me up. Why yes I'm into bareback, so it's part of the territory.

Other..would probably be more is better too, I suppose.

A.) As a straight male, I like more usually, I feel the orgasm more, plus i feel like the female feels like its more intense that way

Thats the only one i have an opinion on. Bigger is usually better.

[jackdavinci]

Larger volume is best for all scenarios! :D

[AHunter3]

If you're doing it in the middle of the road, I'd think you have to go with whatever volume you get!

[Cartooniverse]

Disappointing to say the least, coming from the Queen of Lubricants. :D

Straight male here. Never really concerned about my volume one way or the other, if it is a major issue ( cough ) for a partner, then it'd be something I was more aware of.

[carlotta]

Um, sorry guys, I really hate semen. If we could just leave it out of the equation that would be fine with me.

Now I'm willing to put up with it because of all the other nice stuff that goes along with it, but chalk me up on all questions as "the less the better"

[Green Bean]

Disappointing to say the least, coming from the Queen of Lubricants. :DHa! I was thinking the same thing!

Anyway, I would have said "the more the better" in the past, but I now have a spot on my wall that proves that sometimes, there is such a thing as too much!

Me too. I'm not a fan of bodily fluids in general. I even want kisses to be as saliva-lite as possible. Lest anyone think this means I'm prissy and unenthusiastic in the bedroom, I assure you I'm not. I'm a near-compulsive handwasher in general, and I just hate stuff of any kind getting on me. I can cope with whatever's necessary, but I'm never going to vote for more smelly goo in any context.

[RedRosesForMe]

More is better on all counts, although there is definitely a possibility for too much orally, so maybe not too much more if we're talking oral.

I enjoy being *ahem* painted as well, and just turned on the new boyfriend to coming on new surfaces. He'd previously sneered at pearl necklaces and the like as the stuff of porn, but now he thinks it's really hot, so more would be awesome. Just not up my nose or in my eye, thank you.

I first read the "new" part as surfaces that you normally wouldn't associate with sex. As in, on the table, or a mirror. I thought you were going to tell us that you'd discovered the varnishing properties of cum.

[Illuminatiprimus]

d) anally

Top here, so not really an issue.Really? I have no idea why but I had you pegged for a bottom. Oh well...

I'm kind of with Antinor01 on this (another gay man chiming in). Visually I like a lot of cum as it indicates a particularly good time was had. Anally? I'm versatile verging on bottom and you really can't feel when someone cums inside you so if it's a single drop or a gallon you don't really know (that and most of the time there are condoms involved so it doesn't matter anyway).

That said when watching porn I do love watching a guy get cum in his arse and having it all stirred up (preferably by a second guy), so you need a decent amount of cum for that.

Do they pull out before cumming in gay porn like they do straight porn? I assume, as it's still designed to appeal to men's visual centers, that they do, but it just occurred to me that I don't know.

[Really Not All That Bright]

I would never in a million years have considered this question or its myriad answers.

The wifey does not like being painted. :(

Yep, most of the time.

[Illuminatiprimus]

Yep, most of the time.Yes they do, although bareback porn is still not considered mainstream and even where condoms aren't used they don't always do cum in the arse. That's my favourite kind of cum shot though. Sometimes they'll cum internally though and just film the cum leaking out (sorry any straight guys who are throwing up onto their keyboards right now).

[Caricci]

We use regular condoms for vaginal sex and, yes, handjobs and flavored condoms for oral. He's never actually finished with anal the few times we've done it, which is fine. So, I guess my preferred volume would either be none or, whatever, as long as it's contained.

And before anyone thinks I'm a mean wife, all this condom use is at his instigation. I don't mind though.

[Illuminatiprimus]

But... why? Surely one of the points of being married is so you don't have to use condoms.

[Antinor01]

Common mistake. I've...umm...been obliged to prove it on a couple of occassions. :D

All stirred up? The Heck?? No, no, I don't think I want to know. Sheesh. Gender and orientation aside, what's the fascination with playing with bodily fluids?

[jackdavinci]

You know, I read the "T.M.F.I." and I knew what it meant, but...

Whatever you do, don't google "felching" :D

That said, my tastes in porn are considerably kinkier than my tastes in real life sex, and I suspect that's true of a lot of people.

[MrDibble]

I had you pegged for a bottom.
Heh!

I like volume, myself (straight male) - the more there is, the more stretched-out my orgasm seems to feel. But I'm not into the visual aesthetic, though. Anything that can be recreated with copious amounts of egg white just doesn't strike me as particularly appealing.

Onomatopoeia - well clearly this is a case of mileage varying. I love cum in porn and people playing with it, including felching (but yeah, don't google that unless you've taken some anti-nausea medication first).

This is one of several reasons I haven't yet really consummated my love for men. I'm a little scared of all the mess. And when I did go home with a man once, I actually pulled away when he was about to get me off, because I was worried about all the mess. Jeez, talk about self-conscious. The poor guy!

WTF was wrong with him??
