Why is it so important to a guy if a girl "swallows"?

I'm guessing we're not discussing gum, are we.

sunrise_4836, you sure start some interesting threads! Are you taking some kind of sexual psychology course???


I suppose it isn't as important to swallow as it is to finish the act. If you want to just hold your breath before the impending explosion, hold it in your mouth, then spit it out, that seems fine to me. No guy I know likes a tease. Personally, I find the thought of giving a blowjob kind of repulsive, but then again, I'm not female or gay, which probably explains it.

Having someone blow a hot load of tadpole yogurt in your mouth does not seem too appetizing. Of course, I would never put up an argument if any girl wants to blow me. I've known a few women who just loved the taste of jism. I guess it's a two-way street, as some women couldn't imagine themselves muff diving. To me, it's the nectar of the gods.

Does anyone have an opinion on the effect of a guy's diet on the taste of his sperm? F'rinstance, I eat a lot of garlic. Does that mean I taste like marinara?

It's psychological. Like wanting a woman to have an orgasm. Looked at in the best light, I guess you could say it's unselfish, that is, other-regarding. If a guy were only concerned about his own physical pleasure, he wouldn't care one way or another; but he wants the woman to be involved in the act....

Sperm taste

I read taht if the guy eats fruits his sperm will taste sweeter than if he ate vegtables & salad, which makes it tast salty.

This thread is best suited to IMHO.

Actually, it's best suited to die a slow death, but we don't ususally do that here, so I'll move it.

Sorry, slythe.

As Dire Wolf said, it's more the finishing than the swallowing. From a strictly physical standpoint, it feels oh so much nicer to come in someone's mouth at the end. The last thing you want at that moment is for someone to cease all contact. (Imagine if a guy yanked his head away the second you started to have an orgasm when he was going down on you -- the sensations during the orgasm are what make it so amazing.) This makes a major difference, irregardless of whether or not any swallowing takes place.

Psychologically, the actual swallowing instead of spitting is cool, although I'm not really sure why. It just makes the other person seem uninhibited and excited about the act. You hate the thought of putting something repulsive in your partner's mouth, so it's nice if they enjoy it. (Or at least don't mind it.) It's not really that important to me, though.

Whoops, just to be clear, that last sentence should have read:

"It's not really that important to me if they don't want to swallow, though." Not if they don't enjoy it.

Hey, I've been wondering about this question too...I've never swallowed myself, I'm a "dodger" as it "do you spit, swallow, or dodge?" Sorri, I can totally deal w/going down on a guy, but the thought of a million little sperms slowly oozing into my mouth from the same hole that the guy pisses out of kinda grosses me out

I hope your guy pals don't share this same attitude. Otherwise, cunnilingus would be out...

To answer the OP, I can honestly say that once I have an orgasm, I don't CARE about where the stuff goes. Though clean-up *IS* easier if the stuff is not left to spew all over the place...

I'd have to agree that it's not about swallowing or not swallowing, but about finishing. Then again, I like a snowball every now and then, too. But tadpole yogurt??

It's mainly an ego thing. If a guy would gag and spit after going down on you, would you feel that great about how you taste? I mean, I swallow, but it's mainly b/c it doesn't taste bad and spitting is kinda rude to start with.

ssskuggiii, I can agree with you, but I think guys wouldn't have as much of a problem if they were the ones being "forced" to swallow too. I think guys should realize that although it doesn't taste overly bad it isn't all that great either.

First of all, ricepad, your mention of snowballing threw me so far into a Clerks moment, I was laughing my ass off. The I got disgusted. Then I laughed some more.

Nextly, I've noticed that when I drink coffee, my pee smells acrid, or that I can smell the coffee-ness of it when at the urinal, so I figure the other fluid discharge probably picks up some of the flavor, too. I've heard it does, anyway.

As for spitting or swallowing (or dodging), it is mostly the thought that counts. I've never complained to a spitter, but I must say that a swallower is nicer. As Giraffe said, being able to finish inside is just great. In similar regard to sex, being able to come inside rather than having to pull out at the moment of climax.

Interesting story, I once dated a girl that virtually begged me to come in her mouth every time we had sex. It sounds great at first and believe me, I was into it, [i]but[/b] having to scamper up there every time I was about to come started to get old after a while. Think about it, you're down there, working hard, building a sweat and you feel it...then you have to pull out and shimmy up the bed/couch/table/rug/bathroom floor or whatnot in record time to finish the act. Again, I was grateful and I'm certainly not saying I didn't enjoy it, but, well, I don't know. Anyway.

Although I really shouldn't post here, considering that I have zero experience in this area, I couldn't pass this thread by without comment.

I agree with those who said it's more about finishing up than swallowing. I also want to add that it really is the thought that counts. Tell ya what girls: We'll put the toilet seats down, and you swallow. *runs and hides*

sunrise_4836, if you are a guy, you should try it yourself with your own spermies so you can see what a woman has to put up with......Then perhaps you'll see its better to spit sometimes? Get back with a full report!

On the other hand, I did get told by a lesbian once that swallowing a man's stuff would show that men have a kind of power over a woman & you know how they feel about that.

Every guy out there knows, from threads like this and a million other sources, that it's at least distasteful, and sometimes rather more, to the majority of women out there. So if you can get her to do it, especially if you're fairly convinced she doesn't wanna... it's got that extra illicit thrill. You've exerted some power.

All the other points mentioned are also valid, but I think for most guys (whether or not they admit it, even to themselves), this is a big one. Because, frankly, we don't get to have a lot of power in the sexual area. Hell, any woman could totally wither most men with a simple "Are you done yet?" Nightmares for weeks.

Not that it's happened to me personally...

Umm, aren't you all forgetting about HIV and other fun STD'S? I mean, swallowing cum is an excellent way to transmit viruses.
I have never allowed a man to cum in my mouth or even to deposit any pre-cum. Safe sex, folks.

I used to try to swallow, but for some reason it triggers a gag reflex in me. So, according to my husband, he would rather I dodge, than vomit.

Believe it or not, some people have only ever had one or two sexual partners (in some cases, a couple are the only partners each has ever had) and can be nearly certain that both they and their partner are HIV-.

"Nearly certain" isn't certain enough. For monagamous couples who are 100% sure of their mutual fidelity and have had two negative HIV tests six months apart, carry on.

Everybody else, be careful. I can tell you from personal experience that there are a whole bunch of bisexual men out there having unsafe sex with casual pickups, and then going home and having unprotected sex with their wives and girlfriends.

Well, "nearly certain" in this particular case means I have had a total of three sexual partners in my life, and in all three cases I was their first (and only, at the time) partner. I have never had an HIV test for the obvious reason that I don't need one. There are people who are sure enough concerning their sexual histories and the lives of their partners that their HIV status is not in question. Sure, if there's any doubt, you're absolutely right--get the test!! But there are cases where one's certainty can approach 100%.

Does the swallowing action add any extra kind of "massaging" or "suction" to the penis during ejaculation?

My partner and I (both men) love the fact that I usually have multiple orgasms. If he started gagging or spitting after the first one, I would lose my erection immediately. He loves the taste of it, which is confirmed by the look on his face when he swallows. And seeing that look, keeps me turned on.

handy: I did get told by a lesbian once that swallowing a man's stuff would show that men have a kind of power over a woman & you know how they feel about that.

Lesbians: Experts on heterosexual sex.

Do you see my point? I don't talk to hetersexual males about the finer points of homosexual male sex.

And also to the person who agreed with him, stop the pop-psychology bullshit. For full disclosure, I have never received a blowjob, but yeah, it would be more pleasureable for her to not dodge (apologies to the girl who coined that up there). But that's what it is, pleasure, not dominance.

BigGiantHead, maybe you get a kick out of getting a women to do something she doesn't, but I don't. I don't find the concept sexually appealing. What I do find appealing is pleasuring others, and of course, receiving pleasure.
