This is for both ladies and men. For ladies: Do you like giving blow jobs, do they arrouse you? Why ? Or do you give them because your SO enjoys them ? For men: Which do you prefer, intercourse of BJs ? Why ? Just curious. Thanks ---

Both feel good, like getting both. But if it’s either/or, I’d take intercourse. Feels just a little bit better, plus more skin to skin, face to face contact. ---

If I had to choose I’d go with sex. It’s more intimate. ---

> [@](#): > > For men: > > Which do you prefer, intercourse of BJs ? Why ? I hate oral sex. If that were the only sex there was, I’d go chaste. I think mouths kind of gross me out. Kissing is OK but I’m not much on tongue kissing and definitely not into ‘dental exam’ kissing. Just the lips. ---

Female here: Oral sex is only good if you like the person to whom the penis is attached. Love is probably a better choice of words. Or lust. All three are nice. Answering for hubby: He likes both. They compliment each other nicely, says he. ---

Giving a blowjob can arouse me - but mostly because the recipient is enjoying it. Also need to be in the mood for it. The more in the mood for it I am, the better it is for him (at least from the POV I’m sitting at) ---

Giving oral sex arouses me, and so does receiving. I like intercourse too. If given the choice I would choose intercourse. Although I’d like to have both in the same encounter. ---

Another female checking in… Love giving (and receiving) it must be included in every session. Giving and receiving at the same time is my preference. ---

Love both, do both…I tend to find that my sex life goes along in stages. For a few weeks it’s nothing but oral, then it changes to intercourse, then hand work and toys, then a period of mixing and matching…However for the past year it has been primarilly oral cuz pregnant/giving birth wifecat just couldn’t handle interior exploration. But we have been getting back into the swing of things recently, so I expect it will be intercourse from here on out for awhile. As for how we feel about it, she loves my penis- playing with it, kissing it, etc. It’s like her best friend. I, on the other hand, like giving her oral cuz I know she really likes it, not because I really get into it for my own sake. When I’m there, it’s all about her, (and the rewards I get afterwards). 😉 Sex is fun. -Tcat ---

I’m a man.\* I strongly prefer good sexual intercourse to the blow job. Whenever a woman has gone down on me, I’ve had to work hard to keep from being distracted. And I take _forever_ to come that way. I’m always that her neck muscles are going to spasm. But I love love LOVE to eat the pussy. If I like her, and she’s clean, and she’s appreciative and enthusiastic… oh yeah, I am _relentless_. \*_yes I am, and I can’t help but love you so…_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cuauhtemoc \* > **But I love love LOVE to eat the pussy. If I like her, and she’s clean, and she’s appreciative and enthusiastic… oh yeah, I am _relentless_.** I’ll second that, and I’ll also cast a vote for sex being better than oral, but not by much. (although I may just be saying that because I am currently dating a girl who doesn’t like performing fellatio, so I get none.) Sex itself is much more personal and definitely more mutually stimulating, so it slightly edges out getting oral. -Dirty ---

Intercourse, easily. And with respect to going down, I’d rather do it, than have it done to me. What weirds me out is when a girl isn’t interested in receiving oral… ---

Personally, if I’m up for it and the guy enjoys it, I love giving oral. Of course, I also have this itsy-bitsy oral fixation thing… I like having things in my mouth. So far no one has complained… Of course, I highly enjoy recieving it, too. Off-hand, anyone know if there’s been a “spit or swallow?” poll? (or is that group TMI…) And as much as I like it… I may not do it much anymore - see [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=144569) for why. 😉 ---

I enjoy intercourse more than bj’s, and I do get very aroused whilst performing oral in my lady. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oral-sex-poll/137731.md?page=2)
