Dare I say that it’s threads like this that make me miss Foreskin Boy? You _know_ he’d set you all straight on how to swallow or not to swallow is a moot point if you’re circumsized anyway… ::runs away, dodging frantically:: ---

What would be the intention of spitting it out? It’s already in your mouth, so the taste is there & even if you spit, you still swallow a lot. Better to not let the guy come in your mouth in the first place. I guy should be respectful & say he is about to come so that a woman can make the choice of whether she wants a mouth full of come or not. Guys swallow a lot of pussy juice when they give a woman a blow job. There isn’t a lot of choice there. There has never been a topic here for guys, ‘do you spit or swallow pussy juice?’ The spit/swallow come topic has been discussed very many times here. Gay guys never seem to post anything about it though. ---

Necessary-doesn’t seem to be. Although I am willing to swallow, my hubby often enjoys uhm depositing it on other places about a foot lower. As for the ick factor-------I’ve discovered how to accomplish the swallow without tasting any of it. Don’t read any further if you don’t want to know (I can’t believe I’m sharing this. I don’t know if it’s unusual or even worth mentioning or not). Ok at the precise moment, relax and deep throat enough to get the stuff past the gag point and remember to breath. No gagging, always appreciated. ---

Mermaid, Thank you! If I had a nickel for every time I explained that techinique to a friend who couldn’t figure out how to swallow w/o gargling… Girls…most men have certain ‘i’m about to come’ actions they always do. Once you know what those are-in my fubu’s case it’s uncontrollable twitching of his thighs-you make sure he’s deep enough in your mouth to shoot it down your throat. Or just have the altoids handy-although an altoid before going down always seem to be nice-little extra tingling never hurt anyone. ---

You ever taste a condom? Besides, if I’m going to be intimate enough with a man to be servicing him orally I’m going to know his HIV status before anything enters me bareback. ---

Guys just care about the climax, not anything that happens later. (Unless it ends up on a Blue Dress in an impeachment hearing :D) ---

For me, BJ’s have usually been a form of foreplay, an appetizer to an entree of intercourse, rather than an end unto themselves. I’d rather not orgasm from oral sex; I’d rather put it to better use ;). ---

“You ever taste a condom?” You mean one of those cammo condoms, so they can’t see you coming? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hardygrrl \* > \*\*You ever taste a condom? \*\* I was in a public restroom the other day. Thank goodness, the 7 year old wasn’t with me. She reads EVERYTHING. There was a machine for flavored condoms. Not that I’d ever need one, but I was wondering if anyone had used one. :o ---
