> [@WhyNot](#): > > For me, and I might be strange in this, it’s actually easier to swallow if I have the penis well back in my mouth when he comes. Not all the way deep throating, but past the hard palate. I don’t taste it as much, since most of the tastebuds are in front, and I don’t sense the “pulsations” as much. > > I swallow about 90% of the time, even though I don’t particularly enjoy the taste of semen, although my current partner’s isn’t so bad. But men vary considerably. I had one fellow whose semen _burned_, and every time I swallowed, I’d end up with a sore throat for a week. Not fun. > > When I \*really \*don’t want to swallow, a nice porn starlet moan of “Come on my tits!” or something like that makes it dirty enough to still be more fun than a mere handjob. And knowing that I have that “out” makes me feel less apprehensive as the moment nears, so most of the time I decide to just go all the way. About the taste: My wife tells me that when I have eaten celery, my semen tastes sweet. I don’t understand why, but I have grown to greatly enjoy celery. Actually (and I’ve wondered if this is a manifestation of laziness), my favorite fellatio is good old 69, especially when we can synchronize. That takes lots and lots of (very enjoyable) practice. When my wife comes at the same time I ejaculate, sometimes it feels other-worldly. And when we are well synchronized it’s strangely like we’re each doing ourselves as well as each other, all simultaneously.. But then, too, we’ve had decades in which we have learned and improved and tailored our respective techniques to each other… ---

> [@InterestedObserver](#): > > I was not BORN an excellent fellator…my late husband trained me (same way I trained him to be the amazing cunnalinguist he was:D). Very true. My best instruction about cunnilingus came from an ex-girlfriend who knew exactly what she wanted and gave me specific instructions. Since then I’ve adopted additional techniques, but she gave me a very solid foundation. The main one is that, in the same way that a blowjob is not just about the mouth, good cunnilingus is about your fingers as much as it is about the tongue - stroking the labia while licking the clitoris, rubbing the clit with a thumb while licking the labia. If you’re going to do any anal stimulation, pick one finger or thumb for that and use it exclusively to avoid potential infection. The “lick the alphabet” thing is nonsense. As far as I can tell, the idea was to keep a guy down there for at least 26 letters. ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > I’m sorry. ☹ Thank you; so am I. May I add that your partner is fortunate and/or deserving of your willingness to work with him, so to speak; it sounds as if you make it a labor of love.
