Poll to follow, if I can figure out how to ge the dang-blasted thing to work!
I’m a heterosexual male. What’s not to like? Lady bits are soft and warm, partners enjoy it (I know it’s not universal, but in my experience it’s been true), it’s fun. Everybody’s having a good time.
To be candid and perhaps delve into a little bit of psychology, I think some of this may have to do with early sexual experiences. I grew up Catholic, dating a Catholic girl, and vaginal intercourse was a big “no no,” while oral sex was on the table. We were both young and enthusiastic about it, so I’ve always enjoyed both giving and receiving since.
However, I don’t think I’ve ever met a man who I knew really disliked giving oral sex. I know they exist, but it’s a bit puzzling to me. Then again, I haven’t really interviewed my male friends about this, but whenever the subject did come up, I’ve never noted any negative attitudes towards it.
I’m married. Madame Pepperwinkle is delightful and delicious. She reciprocates. What’s not to like?
I’m not sure if your poll applies to me (gay male) although I guess it could. (eta: on further reading, clearly it was intended to include.) But the other problem with the poll is that there are two answers that apply equally: I enjoy doing it, and my partner enjoys when I do it. I enjoy it for the physical intimacy, and I enjoy giving pleasure to my partner. Also there’s a kind of validation in my value and desirability as a sex partner if I do it well.

I agree with the previous three responses. Except we don’t usually do it “on the table.”
There’s no entries for “partner not interested”.
Banky describes most of my feeling on the matter pretty well.
I do enjoy performing oral sex, but there are caveats, as described in the video.
This has been my experience – that virtually all men enjoy giving oral sex – but the opposite seems to be true for women: they don’t seem to care for it much. Hence the poll.
And, yes, Hogarth, you’re right. I didn’t think about an option for “partner not interested.” So, if your partner was interested, what would your response be?
You were aware, though, that as far as the Catholic part was concerned, it was just the same 
?
But yes, really, what they said. Pleasing a willing partner in a manner that is itself pleasant (under normal circumstances), what’s there not to like?
Well… yeah, I knew it didn’t matter. But I didn’t care. My girlfriend (and apparently her mom, too–don’t ask me how they got into a discussion about it, because I don’t know nor do I want to know) thought it was fine, so who was I to argue?
Both of the first two answers. Before my current yummy man 
I only did it when asked, as infrequently as possible.
Where did the poll go? Wait, is the SDMB being weird again?
Now I don’t know what the options are. Because the poll disappeared. But what motivates me: it’s hot! It’s a turn on for me, it’s fun because I’m in control, it’s great closeness and intimacy, his reaction is great. I like everything about it!
On me though? Meh. I get bored.
This should be a song. Probably a Beatles song. How is this not a song yet?
I mis-read this as a comment on oral sex. 
It must’ve been the boards being weird, the poll is back again. I voted “I’m female, just love doing it.” 
This, cept I’m a boringly hetero female.
This, (though not with Madame Pepperwinkle of course 
).
:dubious: Wow, no option for either (d) I adore my partner and want to make her/him happy, or (e) I am madly turned on by his/her body and perhaps even reactions to my efforts?
None of your options (should have an “other”).
I’m male and just sometimes I really, really feel like doing it. Not always, but when I do I really want to. Can’t explain why. The horn hits me in a different way those days.
Not yet having the privilege of meeting Madame Pepperwinkle, I support this statement, substituting my esteemed Wife in her place.
Anyone want their garage painted, lemme know.
