I love giving blowjobs. Don’t care for recieving. And I loathe 69. Oh, and to answer the other question I think you should have asked: swallow. 😃 ---

It all depends on my mood. If I am really into it, it will get me excited because its making the hubby VERY excited. I definitely has to end with intercourse…it’s like the icing on the cake! ---

This doesn’t have anything to do with the “Man Juice Diet” thread in MPSIMS does it? And I agree with the “t’is better to give than receive” sentiment expressed by many of the other male Dopers here. As for me, I prefer oral between the first and second rounds of intercourse. Sort of a jumpstart for the second session. ---

In answer to the OP, I love bj’s as well as intercourse but at different times. Obviously, if we are making love than intercourse is much better. However, if we’re just f\*\*king than oral sex is an integral part of that. So I guess it sort of depends on the situation. But a further question for the women: Do any of you feel that oral sex is more _intimate_ than intercourse, i.e. something you would do with a lover but not with a fling? This is an idea that has been expressed to me several times by various women although I have never personally encountered the sentiment with someone with whom I was intimate. ---

I love to give. It is highly arousing for me for many reasons - his movements, arousal level, sounds, smell… lots of mental images going off in my head at the same time. And at only [2 calories and 0.1 gram of protein](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_054) it’s not gonna ruin my diet 😉 ---

yes turns me on. usually so much i don’t finish the bj and we finish up with intercourse. because 69 isn’t as good for me as full-on sex. but really, since it’s all good, i’m happy whatever happens… irishfella being such a gentleman and all 🙂 ---

male, here: I love to perform oral sex on a woman. I love intercourse. I like receiving oral sex, but more as a prelude to the real thing. ---

oh, sorry, forgot to add, Bj for me is much less intimate than sex. just cause it is. but being honest, nothing in a one-night stand is that intimate. it’s pure mechanics. ---

This is an idea that has been expressed to me several times by various women although I have never personally encountered the sentiment with someone with whom I was intimate. \*\* Absolutely. But then, I don’t have flings (knowingly, anyway). It’s probably a result of a schmuck I dated in high school who repeatedly tried to coerce me into giving BJ’s. It was years before the thought didn’t make me want to puke. I’m over that now, though. As to the OP, I hope I’d never have to choose one over the other, either for giving or receiving! Both are great fun, and I’m a woman of many moods. Mostly, I just like to be the giver of shit-faced grins, so if my guy is enjoying whatever I’m doing, then generally so I am I. Oh, and **PolishSausage,** great username for this thread in particular… ---

Male here. I’d rather give oral sex than receive it. And I prefer them as foreplay to intercourse, rather than a replacement for intercourse. ---

I definitely feel that oral is less intimate than intercourse. I have to be at least semi-serious about a woman before we have intercourse, but I’d give or receive head for much less.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cuauhtemoc \* > \*\*Why direct this only at the women?

I found it somewhat surprising that the opposite idea had been expressed by some female friends and wanted to know if it was simply anamolous or if the sentiment was more widespread. However, in the vein of equality I will open the question to all genders, identified or biological. ---

I enjoy both fairly equally but intercourse is probably slightly better (two holes vs. one). As for giving Ms. Fried oral she says she enjoys it but I have a tendency to get a little too into it…delaying her orgasm by getting too ruff with the clit. I have, however, been enjoying the practice sessions! 😉 ohh and for the other question: Ms. Fried _loves_ to swallow! ---

I love watching my SO squirm, hence I like going down on him. It’s one of the few ways I can get out my sightly sadistic streak without hurting anyone (I do NOT tease). Though the past couple of times, I didn’t get to finish. One because my wrist was cramping (I use a combination of hand and mouth action). The other was 'cause he wanted to go “all the way”. Thing is, though, I have to be in the mood–slightly more aggressive than usual. Otherwise, I just don’t get into it, you know? …really not getting into the other ways my sadistic side has manifested itself… :o ---

Man here: 😃 Giving oral sex turns me on, and so does receiving. I enjoy intercourse as well. I do have to say that french kissing is a very passionate experience if your with the right man. 😉 ---

I sure do love receiving a good blowjob. It depends on my mood, and how much energy I may or may not have at the time. Sometimes it’s nice to just lay back and not have to “work”. But I enjoy cunnilingus and intercourse as well, and overall, a good hour or three in the getting all sweaty is the best bet.
