> [@PSXer](#): > > do females actually enjoy giving blowjobs or do they just do it because they enjoy making their partners feel good, or it’s socially expected So do they enjoy it or do they enjoy it? Um, I’m going to go with they enjoy it, I guess. Unless they don’t enjoy it. I mean, I don’t enjoy giving a blowjob to a dildo, if that’s what you’re asking. I don’t have sexually receptive nerves in the back of my throat. Here’s the real only true One Sex Trick: the body’s most powerful sexual organ is the brain. Seriously. If he’s enjoying it, I’m enjoying it, at least until my jaw starts to ache. If he’s not enjoying it, I’m not enjoying it. It’s not, for me, about the physical sensations in my mouth, it’s the mental, emotional and hormonal influence of the entire encounter. That’s hot, and enjoyable. ---

Women. They’ll do what they’re gonna do. If she’s honest with you, she’ll tell you. If she get off on lying, deception and acting, she won’t. Its the most I can say on the subject. ---

Giving a BJ to a dildo might be akin to screwing an inflatable doll. It’s still screwing, but it’s just missing something. (Or so I, er, can imagine.) ---

It’s one of those threads when you realise a lot of people on here are pretty weird. The OP is just a young guy getting his head around the world. Pun intended. OP: yep, hetro females - woman or ‘girl’ (lets go crazy and say 15-year old’s are often sexually active) - often enjoy giving head. Even somewhat randomly on a Saturday night or a festival. But don’t forget respect and dignity at all times. People is people. ---

Then there’s Eva Braun, who refused to give Hitler a blowjob because he always left a Nazi taste in her mouth. ---

Yes, some women and men actually enjoy it. IMHO, what is there not to like? ---

> [@scootergirl](#): > > Yes, some women and men actually enjoy it. IMHO, what is there not to like? IME, some women _hate_, _detest_ are just plain **terrified** of a man’s cum. Having someone’s head jerk back like they’re having a seizure at the first moment of pre-cum is not conducive to an enjoyable bj, IMO. ---

Um… What does it taste like? (Male or female orgasmic fluids.) Salty? Sort of tasteless, like saliva? Um? (Years ago, in a collection of feminist poetry, I found the verse, “Don’t it taste salty, just like your tears.” Is so…or just poetic license?) ---

Um? > > (Years ago, in a collection of feminist poetry, I found the verse, “Don’t it taste salty, just like your tears.” Is so…or just poetic license?) There’s quite a bit of variation, but “salty pancake batter” is still the best general description I’ve ever heard (for semen). Mostly salty, a little tiny bit sweet, with a hint of bread products. Some guys, particularly smokers, have cum that is fairly unpleasant tasting and burns my mouth and throat. Icky. I usually contrive a different ending for them, 'cause it can really hurt and linger. So, guys, consider that if she doesn’t swallow, it may not be because she’s not game, but because your spunk in particular tastes dreadful. ---

Similar to what **pizzaguy** reports, I enjoy seeing (and hearing etc.) my partner enjoying herself. So it’s not something I tolerate for her sake, or do just to make her feel good. I’m not sure what the difference between “enjoying that she’s enjoying it” and “enjoying it vicariously” really is, anyway. I don’t know how representative I am, but I don’t think I’m wildly unrepresentative (though I wouldn’t, would I). Since women are a lot like people, I assume the same applies for women going down on men. If I were having sex with someone who disliked it I certainly wouldn’t say “but baby, it’s socially expected.” ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > Never had a snowball, either? > > (Yes, I saw “Clerks”; why do you ask?) 😃 Didn’t even know what a snowball was, until I just read the “Equality in Sex” thread. Oh… Uh, nope. Don’t think I’d appreciate it. (Sigh… I’m one of those “fastidious” jerks. I’d want to wear a condom if being given oral sex…and when performing it, I’d want to do it through a protective sheet – saran wrap? Condom-rubber sheeting? I’ve read that some cut a condom open and use it as a sheet. Mega-sigh. Of course, this is probably a big part of why I’m still a virgin at my age…) (“Sex is so messy!” “Only if you’re doing it right!”) ---

Put a couple of drops of lube on the underside to help it stay on and make it feel like it’s not there. A cut open condom is theoretically okay, but tastes pretty awful and may cause irritation of the mouth if you’re sensitive to nonoxynol-9 (the most common spermicide used in pre-lubed condoms.) ---
