As far as her swallowing, I personally don’t care if she spits, swallows, or dribbles it down the front of her blue dress, as long as she has to make a choice!! 😃

Seriously though, most women don’t get me to that point, it takes me too long. I don’t mind, it just means that we’re going to switch to other things to get me there, and that makes me happy happy!!

I’ve been with a number of women who squirted, and I never had a problem being “down there” when the water-works started. I do keep a waterproof mattress liner on my bed, in case that does happen. Just change the sheets before going to sleep (or work!!) and toss the wet ones in the washing machine.

Wikipedia says _the exact source and nature of the fluid continues to be the topic of debate among medical professionals._

It is also known colloquially as squirting or gushing, although research indicates that female ejaculation and squirting are different phenomena, squirting being attributed to a sudden expulsion of liquid that partly comes from the bladder and contains urine.

I don’t think these particular videos are fake, and if you want to PM me, I’ll direct you to a free site, and you estimate how much fluid you think has came out. It looks to be more than a pint, and wouldn’t surprise me if over a period of three or four orgasmic episodes happening of the same woman that it could reach a quart. I don’t know about quarts.

According to wiki:

> In the United Kingdom, the British Board of Film Classification has banned films alleged to show female ejaculation, claiming that the expert medical advice they received informed them that there is no such thing as female ejaculation, and therefore it was deemed to show urine. [89][90] They later stated instead that they do not take any view on whether female ejaculation exists, only claiming that all examples they have seen thus far during classification have been urination during sex.

Cecil, you up for some field research? What is the Straight Dope?

Then I suggest they get up close and personal with it. It smells nothing like urine - more like plain Pedialyte, honestly. I haven’t tasted any piss, that I am aware of, so I can’t say for any comparisons there, but it sure doesn’t taste like piss smells.

And it can certainly be quite a bit of fluid, in comparison to the sex output of non-ejaculating women, but porn is notorious for upping the quantity of ejaculate through various means, both for women and men. I’m at work, or I’d search for some discussion on the ways and means.

It isn’t just porn sites that are showing this kind of volume. I found a Sue Johanson who does a “sex talk” show in Canada that says for these women, “pint” is the norm. I don’t know what her credentials are, but doing a bit more googling on this, and plenty seem to go with at least that figure.

From other boards I’ve briefly looked at, many swear it isn’t urine either, from the women that have them, to the guys that have witnessed it. But again, you’ve got others that still claim it is urine. Cecil really needs to get going on this for inquiring minds that want to know.

If I don’t give a link, but just mention the free site that shows this, will SD allow that?

I can confirm that it is very real and happens with avg joe folks. My exwife was a squirter and I would say that when she squirted it looked like she was pissing. I mean 5-10 second constant stream, which doesn’t sound long but watch a clock and count it out. It was definitely not piss. If I happened to be down there it truly felt like I was getting a golden shower. I didn’t care for it.

ETA: By didn’t care for it I mean it didn’t do anything for me. It didn’t gross me out or anything.

I wasn’t talking about big stuff. I agree with you there. I meant more “tonight it would be really cool if you …” If you never do that, you never get to the big stuff.

My first husband had no strong religious views. I believe he thought his giving me oral sex was “dirty”; that his mouth was in an “unclean” place. I bathed carefully (but didn’t think to shave) and after a few of his attempts, complete with gagging noises, it never happened again. He said bjs weren’t exciting to him, that the thought wasn’t something arousing and as foreplay, it was a waste of time. Many years later, his sister told me a story about one of her teen aged girlfriends"playing" with her 6 year old brother and how they laughed at his reaction. He says he doesn’t remember the incident but remembers how he hated his sister’s friends.

One thing that occurs to me in reading Unca CeCe is is that males and females both begin structurally female, and my understanding is that all the “boy” parts are fashioned from girl parts. Which is why, for instance, males have tits. We all have the same baseline, and men get rejiggered a bit.

So…the prostate comes from what? Testicles are ovaries. Penises are clitoris’ (os it is es?). Girls have things that boys don’t have at all, but that’s easy to do; males just never develop a uterus. But how can a male possible have something completely unrelated to anything in a female body? That doesn’t seem to make sense.

Oh…[hijack]

I see. Well, I’ve known quite a few guys that won’t do this for their woman, but never heard of a guy that didn’t like receiving oral from her. I do prefer her to shave at least some parts, but it doesn’t have to be all of it.

I seen a local show a while back where they were asking doctors about oral sex. One man preferred more bj’s from his wife too, but she didn’t give them to him regularly. The doctors suggested him doing a little trim work down there as well. Hearing the feedback from his wife, as well as other women, this seems to make a big difference to quite a few.

Thanks, I tried a search engine here, but I seem to always have trouble with it. And it looks like the verdict is still out. I wish Cecil would have commented on the volume more, and for some of these women capable of ejaculating a pint or more.

You’re not posting from simply curiosity. You think there’s something wrong, don’t you? That you’re not getting what to believe is your due?

The Dope is a great place to ask questions about topics you might not feel comfortable asking your friend or neighbor. \*\*The Flying Dutchman \*\*is self disclosing something personal about his sex life to see if others have had similar experiences (changing sexual practices over the course of a long relationship) or concerns that what they are experiencing or feeling is unusual.

If he expects to post such a question here and not have people try to read between the lines, well, maybe he’d be more comfortable on Yahoo Answers.

For what it’s worth, I still happily give my husband blow jobs and we’ve been together nine years, married for five.

However, I understand why you wouldn’t want to ask, particularly if you’re concerned she might not like doing it. That said, communication is important during sex and asking for specifics is kind of sexy, depending how you do it. And sometimes you won’t get what you want if you don’t ask.

1st marriage: Rare  
2nd marriage: more common at first, less frequent later  
3rd marriage: frequently (but my 1st anniversary just passed so there’s not much history there)

It makes good foreplay, IMO. I rarely “finish” that way and my wife benefits from my eagerness afterward. Win-win, I hope.

If I were married, hubby would continue getting BJs as often as possible. For sure the foreplay kind…and depending upon the type of man he was, the “all the way to completion” kind as well.
