So was he reading something on the tablet, drinking a nice tumbler of good whiskey **while** getting the blowjob? If not, he was probably just being kind. ---

It looks as though there are plenty of women who enjoy giving blow jobs, but maybe it’s just dopers. I’ve had several long term relationships and a total of three would do it somewhat regularly. One, a doper that I dated about twelve years ago, gave frequent, skilful, enthusiastic blow jobs. I broke up with her because I am a fool.As for now my soon to be ex wouldn’t think of it and hasn’t since we were dating. I used to resent the bait & switch until I resolved to leave her (not because of blow jobs) ---

Sorry Mrs. Cake, I just realized my post was a total hijack. Sincere apologies. What I MEANT to say was you ARE a good wife and the world needs more of you. (good wives, that is) ---

Not enough info but if you only give BJs on his birthday you are not a good wife but you have him fooled which might be enough. ---

**Mrs. Cake** , you have inspired me to thank my wife for all she does. Having lived many years in a marriage where blow jobs (and more than occasional sex) would have been unthinkable, I never want to take a great sexual relationship for granted. Thanks for the reminder. ---

**Mrs. Cake** , good on ya for knowing what your guy likes. That said I can’t stand whiskey, prefer books when I do get a chance to read, and while I’d rarely decline a BJ, prefer face to face lovin. But my woman knows all that. She also knows I want a body kit for my project car. Coincedentally, I should be at a point where I can install one right around my berfday. ---

OK **Mrs. Cake** (& everyone else in this thread), help me out please! SO’s birthday is coming up soon and you are clearly an expert husband-happy-maker 😉 BJ is a definite, but like for some others in this thread that’s a very regular occurrence anyway 😃 (has been for over 10yrs, will certainly not change, it’s my favourite part, along with all the others) He’s not a big whiskey lover, but we usually have some around. Nook/kindle is an idea… but I think he likes books. He underlines bits in books. So was there anything else you had ready on the list, any back-up ideas? Let me follow in your footsteps, o wise pleaser of husbands! ---

> [@gracer](#): > > BJ is a definite, but like for some others in this thread that’s a very regular occurrence anyway 😃 (has been for over 10yrs, will certainly not change, it’s my favourite part, along with all the others) I don’t think the point was ever that said oral gratification was rare, just that it’s always nice. And, frankly, the best think a man can receive on his birthday is sincere appreciation. That can come in the form of a Porshe, a bottle of Jameson, an autographed copy of his favorite book, or a great video game if that’s what he’s into. BJs always work, though. ---

I don’t get blowjobs that often, even though we fuck like rabbits that just got out of prison. It’s nice as an appetizer, but I get impatient and bored and want to get down to the fuckin’. My girlfriend doesn’t really like giving blowjobs due to some childhood family trauma, so it works out for both of us.
