Has anyone heard about sucking on an Altoid while giving a blowjob? What the hell is this about?
My friend was very anxious to try this out with his girlfriend, beause he’d hear that it would feel cool (temperature wise) just like the sensation it gives your mouth. Next day when i asked he muttered something along the lines of “Burns like hell” and walked away.
You heard right, holacat…the, ahem, “sucker” should have a few in her mouth and let them dissolve a while – longer means less curiously strong tingling (how long to let them dissolve depends on how strong you want the sensation to be; I imagine otto’s friend’s fellator was a bit gung ho about this). Then, of course, proceed as usual. The sensation is amazing…
For bonus points, Altoids also work wonders in giving oral pleasure to women.
Enjoy!
The Altoid BJ, as I have come to understand it:
Girl (or guy, whatever your preference) chews up and Altoid mint. She (or he) performs oral sex on the guy. The peppermint oils int he mint not only bring the minty heat to the skin of the penis, but the oils also cause increased blood flow to the skin surface. Supposedly makes for a better blow, but you have to be careful, that stuff can burn.
It also supposedly works the other way around, as far as oral sex performed on a female, but the vaginal skin is MUCH more sensitive, especially to the peppermint oil, and it could lead to burning and inflammation.
And welcome, Holacat!
My SO didn’t appreciate the gestue when I tried this on her. Maybe I didn’t let the thing dissolve enough, but she had to get out of bed and apply a cool washcloth to the sensitive bits. Proceed with caution.
I guess it does sting a little, but you have to not use too much, or take too long. I would say it’s more like it feels cool, or frozen, but alas it’s been quite a while. I’ve never had the opportunity to return the favor, but I’m guessing it would feel the same way.
It does work both ways…
But my advice is to try it with Cinnamon Altoids. It’s less “severe” than peppermint.
Halls mentholated cough drops are fantastic in this context. I tried this recently, and the medication, when applied in this second-hand manner, doesn’t really numb your penis but does cause it to tingle and also become especially sensitive (in a good way) if your partner blows (literally blows) air at it. Since there’s no peppermint oil, there’s no risk of a burning sensation. So far the wife has not been interested in a reciprocal performance, so I have no information on its effect on women.

As far as snopes claim that the original email is of questionable origin, it’s not. I personally know the woman who wrote it - she’s the sister of a good friend. I got the original email well before this story circulated on the internet. When she found out it was on snopes, she contacted them to tell them the email was legit, but they never updated the page.
Oh zheesh,
I didn’t realize this was NEW. Back in 1992 in Chicago area highschools people were bragging about the benefits of oral sex with Certs, Halls or any type of strong peppermint candy. I suspect people have been toying around with this since decades before that.
The effect, from my experience, is quite nice. Do what you normally do, and then gently blow (no pun intended) on the appropriate area. Should get a refreshing cooling sensation. If you let it linger for awhile, it’ll get a bit warm, but from my experience it doesn’t really burn, but YMMV.
From the Starr Report:
FWIW, my personal experience was that it had no effect, either on me or my female partner.
Altoids weren’t quite as good as they were hyped. Try the liquer/schnapps Aftershock (cinnamon) or Avalanche(peppermint). (Breathe in-cool, breathe out-very warm) But just use a very tiny dribble of the stuff as too much can get uncomforatble and turn into a sticky mess. Works well for both partners, too.
My pastor always smells like breath mints. You don’t think… naaah.
reminds me of when my girlfriend in college was asked by her mother “aren’t you a little old to be eating POP ROCKS!!”
Pop Rocks are also overrated, IMO. Fun and interesting yes, but nothing earth moving about them. As far as being used on the girl end, no dice here. They are actually a bit painful and I would assume that they are to most other women too.
Tricks and treats do not make up for poor technique.
Some amount of creativity can do wonders for good technique.
Great technique however, needs nothing else. Small doses of additional fun is a wonderful bonus, but it’s easy to overdo it.
Although the liquors mentioned are great, it’s pretty tough to beat a glass of ice water and a cup of hot tea, alternated now and then.

I’m curious. Does anyone in that group have a copy of the email with a date that would prove that?
At least she wasn’t the sister of your hairdresser’s best friend. 
Funny you should mention this, Sam. As it so happens, MY Rabbi’s neice Sarah dated the kid brother of the woman who wrote it’s cousin from Philadelphia. Tragic, really. She suffered irreversable blindness as a 20 year old after eating a small rat that fell into the deep fryer at KFC. Only after over 400,000 letters- each containing a business card and a Thomas Jefferson $ 2.00 bill were sent to her parent’s farm - did she regain her sight 100%.
What a very small world we live in. :rolleyes:
