Okay,okay, I know we’ve all heard more than enough about this subject. I just to clear something up: One definition is simply “going down on a gal _after_ intercourse.” Nothing anal, no straws involved. Big deal. Do it all the time. The gals seem to love it. Hey, I expect _her_ to swallow…turnabout’s fair play. Or, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” love y’all, TN\*hippie ---

I’d never heard of felching in a non-anal way until a couple of people mentioned it on these boards. Yes, I knew what felching was before I got here. ---

On a related topic: **Ladies:** Do you mind kissing a guy after he’s gone down on you? If not, why not? (I’ve experienced both types of women.) Curious, TN\*Hippie _There once was a guy truly oral Who considered vaginas quite floral; He was not against felching And performed without belching, But this limerick has no real “moral.”_ ---

Interesting query, TN\*hippie. I’ve not had experience with the type of felching you refer to in your OP, so I can’t say. Sounds like fun to me, though! As to your question, well, actually, at first it did seem a little odd. I didn’t know what to think about the idea of me tasting myself on his mouth. Then I did it one night. No biggie, didn’t bother me at all. Wasn’t really a turn-on or -off, just different. It doesn’t bother me one way or the other. As long as hubby continues to…now, that’s _ **way** _ TMI. 😛 BTW, love your limericks! 🙂 ---

Not a big turn-on, but not a turn-off, either. Same with oral sex during menstruation (I can take it or leave it)…some gals LOVE it, others are repulsed. Now I _know_ this thread will get some attention! Peace, TN\*hippie ---

That was cute, but I’m seriously interested in how the Dopers feel about: A) cunnilingus immediately after intercourse B) cunnilingus during menstruation I like it all, TN\*Hippie ---

_**A) cunnilingus immediately after intercourse**_ Perfectly acceptable. In fact, an excellent way to pass time while getting ready for round two. _**B) cunnilingus during menstruation**_ Never, never, never. You may swim in the Red Sea, but do not drink of it.

FWIW… There are a bunch of already existing threads about felching (but I’m too tired to link them all right now. I’m being lazy). Until last week I was _also_ under the impression that “felching” was oral removal of semen from a vagina. Another “mass” educated, I was. For the record: I do **not** have my Red Wings, nor do I ever want them. That idea grosses me out. I have no interest in going down on Miss Crease immediately after intercourse. A few hours later, maybe, but that idea grosses _her_ out. Oddly enuff, I have no problem kissing Miss Crease after she’s gone down on me and finished. And she has no problem with me kissing her after I go down on her. Guess it’s all a matter of individual taste. 😃 ---

Even though I’m ok with sex during menstruation, oral sex is out of the question when Aunt Flo’s come for a visit. I just find the idea distasteful. I’m usually too hormonal, grumpy, swollen, and racked with pains to think about doing the nasty during that time, anyways. To be honest, I’ve never found much excitement in cunnilingus (why do I feel like I might get several responses saying, “but…you haven’t met me yet…heh heh heh”). It’s nice, and I don’t mind it, but I’ve never found it thrilling. Besides, I always end up getting a little bored, since some men think that slurping away for a half-hour is the way for a woman to get off. With that said, I don’t mind if a guy kisses me afterwards–as long as he doesn’t mind me kissing him after I’ve swallowed for him. (It kills the moment if I’m asked to go brush my teeth after a blow job. Yes, that has been asked of me before.) This is the first time I’ve ever heard of felching being referred to in a non-anal way. I did once have a BF that was into going down on me after intercourse, and I didn’t have a problem with it–it was neither a big turn-on or turn-off. ---

I’d actually go a bit further than you, though. Not only do I not find it thrilling, I don’t even find it particularly interesting. If a guy really _wants_ to do it, fine, but it does absolutely _nothing_ for me. That said, I don’t mind kissing the guy when he’s finished, the taste goes away quickly enough. If he wanted to do it while I was bleeding though, he sure as hell wouldn’t be kissing me afterward! ick … ---

This thread reminded me of some raunchy graffiti I read once… Keep it shaved and smelling sweet, It’s guaranteed they’ll always eat, But if it stinks and gunk’s all on it, They’ll take one sniff and surely vomit. ```auto To answer the question, I prefer eating before sex, not after. Never while she's ragging. Bleah! ``` ---

Re: smug’s poem I would like to point out, it goes both ways. Men can get pretty funky and unpleasant too. This may be the last argument for circumsison- even if you do away with the religious reasons, even if you do away with the health reasons, nonetheless, you’ll taste better. And get more head. Addmittedly that is not uppermost on the mind of most mothers at the birth of their son… (but maybe it should be). (I am not slighting the uncircumsised, anybody can taste good if they wash, but it does make it harder. Umm…more difficult.) ---
