Oral. Love to give. Love to receive. Just not at the same time… Well, I can’t walk and chew gum at the same time either…😃 ---

I like cock. _sigh_ I _miss_ cock. With my previous lovers, I really enjoyed giving them head. Got me all excited, and I usually wanted to finish up with intercourse. The only drawback to finishing with oral is that swallowing gives me an upset stomach, and the last one’s offerings didn’t taste good. I love getting head as well. _sigh_ I _miss_ getting head. I’m not real fond of the 69 position because I’d always lose track and forget what I was doing. Given a choice between oral and intercourse, I’d take the latter. More satisfying emotionally and physically for me. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by cuauhtemoc_ > **That’s too bad. I firmly believe that more women should tease.** Oh, believe me, if I went down on you and teased you for long enough, you wouldn’t think that. Especially if I didn’t finish you off. You’d probably want to kill me. Wait, no…I think my SO would want to kill me more… At any rate, now that we seem to be on the topic of swallowing…odd side note: I used to be able to swallow with no ill effects. Then I got a horrific case of the flu this summer. I mean, go to the emergency room bad. Since then, I haven’t been able to swallow–or think about it–without feeling very ill. Same with many kinds of food…my tastes have gotten much more bland. …not that this stops me… ---

Really love to give but not so keen on receiving - I find it a bit um intimate? Sex is much more fun for me anyway. Oh and swallow. ems ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cuauhtemoc \* > \*\*Why direct this only at the women? 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. All you ladies take note…😃 \*\* I think oral is less intimate than intercourse too but I have to say… I’ve never given head to a one night stand. For me, one night stands were all about lust and were all about good old fashioned hot monkey sex. If I had a fuck buddy and we were sleeping together on a regular basis… then oral would happen. Kind of hypocritical, I know, but it makes sense to me. 🙂 I like giving and receiving both but if I had to choose I would choose intercourse over oral. Giving head gives me a certain sense of power… because I’m 100% in control of it. I like watching my man squirm and i _love_ hearing him moan. While I do enjoy giving… I have to be in the mood for it… and I absolutly _hate_ it when a man goes down on me and then _expects_ me to go down on him because he went down on me. (make sense?) I’ll give head because I _want_ to… not because it’s _expected_ of me or because he went down on me. If we’re 69’n… that’s different. Oh, when I finish him off with a bj… I swallow. The money shots good sometimes too… it all depends on what position we’re in when the bj is happening. ---

Same for women, but well, the outcome of such teasing is not quite so physically obvious. But it’s different to be teased mercilessly to the point where you can’t decide whether you’re going to explode or lose consciousness…fun if you know it will be carried through to its logical end, but not fun at all if it’s stopped in the middle and you’re left to stew in your own juices. Am I right, guys? ---

Protracted teasing? Not for me, nosireebob. After a while, I get bored with it, and it becomes a “well, are you gonna follow through, or not??” thing. I wanna do something, dammit! Of course, it’s a fine line between teasing and being seductive; I’ll take seduction anytime. I don’t know how exactly to explain the difference, but it’s there. Or maybe it’s just me.

Malicious teasing is not pleasant unless you’re a masochist, which I’m not. I would not have fun with a woman who brought me inches from the finish line and then left me there just to listen to me whimper in pain. So yeah, that kind of “teasing” is out. But if you’re living in the moment, not thinking in terms of a “goal”, but just enjoying the ride, then a playful, loving “tease” can last for hours. Sometimes you just want release, but then other times there’s no rush, you can just enjoy the intense feelings of desire. The “slightly sadistic” **Angel of the Lord** , I wouldn’t kill you, I just wouldn’t let you near my dick again 😛 ---

I like givin em. Arrousal is a bit dependent on how much my partner is enjoying it. Howevea … there comes a time when the ol’ jaw gets tired, lips are chapping … and I’d really just like to move on BJs better than sex? oh heck no, no, no. ---

**Sex 101** Let’s get some terminology settled here. Fellatio _is_ a form of sexual intercourse. Fellatio _is_ sex. Fellatio is oral **sex**. Another form of sexual intercourse is _coitus_, i.e., when the penis is put in the vagina. ---

You poll is a bit biased towards those who learn towards other perssuations. 😛 But, as a female in what is lawfully regarded as a “straight” relationship, I love giving blow jobs. I view it as something which I try to be proficent in as possible. It’s a lot of fun to hear the noises my lover makes and I know he really enjoys it. ---
