There is a woman I work with with no teeth. While I would have absolutely no interest in getting within 3 feet of her, it got me to wondering. I’ve heard about getting oral from a girl with no teeth, and that its supposed to be something really cool. Has anyone ever had this exeperience, and if so can you share it with us? ---

Not. Sure. “Cool”. Is the word. Though I wouldn’t know, since I don’t know anyone with no teeth, and maybe I am hanging out at the wrong bars but I don’t meet many women like that. But it sure doesn’t sound cool. At least not when you weigh the consequences against whatever heightened sensation there is. ---

i had just heard or read something about that a long time ago, and being that being scraped with teeth isn’t a whole lot of fun, i thought that it might be something interesting. Kinda like you said, any woman with no teeth probably isn’t one that i could get drunk enough to hit on anyway. ---

I vaguely remember hearing of a woman that had all of her teeth removed to give her man more pleasure. [announcer voice] Next week on Jerry Springer … [/announcer voice] 😉 ---

I heard somewhere that is what Paul Bernardo did to at least one of his victims. I don’t know if it is true or can even be verified as it is a sealed court case IIRC. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > \*\*“The consequences?” What consequences? I’m confused. \*\* Oh there shall be consequences. When the toothless have you by the short and curlies, there’s no turning back. Their desire, their goal, their God driven mission in life: world domination. Applesauce and Gerber baby food as far as the eye can see! A toothless President with his new cabinent position, Secretary of Gumland Suckurity! Dentists rounded up from their homes at midnight and summarily shot in the street! Mass hysteria! Down with periodontiphiles, I cry! Down with sloppy BJs! It’s the only way to save ourselves. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > \*\*“The consequences?” What consequences? I’m confused. \*\* I kind of wondered that, too…perhaps the social stigma of being known for consorting with the toothless? I’ll admit that’s a stretch, but it’s all I’ve got. Perhaps gingivitis of the genitalia? Anybody know any good “root canal” jokes? ---

I’ve been told that a woman with a mouth guard has the same affect, as a woman with no teeth. Not having any experience with this personally, this is all hearsay from “he who knows best” lmao:D ---

I’ve returned, a bit longer in the tooth, to respond. The consequences: 1. Social stigma of being known for consorting with the toothless. 2. Diminished self-esteem. 3. Mi Momal. 4. Toothless woman may be a junkie and/or other “hard liver”, and may carry disease. 5. A toothless woman who probably doesn’t hook up much now calls you all the time and you have to endure her toothless mumble. 6. You may have to return the favor to her, and in the process discover where she keeps her teeth. ---

Heh. My hubman has dentures, so I don’t feel there’s any negative stigma. Therefore, I will answer the OP: I have. And WHEE!!! 😃
