[QUOTE=Mirror Image egamI rorriM] I have not ever actually given a blowjob to the end… [/QUOTE] By strict interpretation, that’s techically not a blowjob. Seeing that the receiver isn’t blowing anything from the object that’s being orally stimulated -and- the giver most likely isn’t using air to inflate a him; your technique would likely be more accurately defined as oral sex, followed by other forms of stimulation. ---

LOVE giving head! ALWAYS swallow. Does the trick for me too, at least as far as being a huge turn-on damn near to the point of orgasm. I just get off on the control, the ability to give something so intimate to someone I love, the immense satisfaction I see and hear from my b/f while blowing him…outside penetration, fellatio’s the perfect sex act from my standpoint. Wouldn’t want to miss a thing about it, especially the taste. –Beck ---

Straight male here. I have no opinion for or against, as long as she is not trying to decide while it’s coming out. ---

Well, when it gets bumped back to the top of the thread stack, I can’t NOT click on it. If I’ve responded to a thread once and someone pushes it back up to the top, I invariably click on it again. It’s the siren’s call! (besides, I’ve only had 3…okay, now 4 responses in a threat about swallowing cum that’s garnered 44 responses. I’m only 1/11th of the responses! okay, so I’m not exactly DISproving your point…sheesh…) ---

In my entire life and 20-something sexual partners, I’ve had but one girlfriend who swallowed. And what a difference that made. It’s not a dominance thing, it just feels _incredible_. All the others have faded in my memory, but Gina is still there. She gave me the best oral sex I ever had. Sigh. ---

I always swallow. It just doesn’t seem like a job well done unless I see it all the way through to the last drop. And I like the taste. All guys should give blowjob direction. How else is one to know what they like best? Do they like to have their balls licked, sucked or rubbed? Deep throat or not? Some like to fuck the mouth, some like it when the girl gags, some just lay back and take it. They’re all different. Never know what will really get a guy off until he says so. The whole idea is to make it mind blowing for him, and that’s what I set out to do. ---

At any rate, having both given and received blowjobs, I have got to pity every straight boy out there with a girl who won’t swallow. Pulling out just means your orgasm is going to suck (no pun intended.) Giving oral sex but not swallowing is like wrapping empty boxes at Christmas. ---

I have to say that I am not a swallower I tried a few times but I was nauseous afterwards. It may have been a mental thing, but I am the type of person who thinks two percent milk is too thick. I have a problem with saliva too. I gag whenever I see anybody spit, so sorry fella’s I’ll make you cum, I just won’t eat it. ---

Damn. I must have been with some weird guys. They didn’t all want me to swallow, which I will do willingly (even with skunk-guy - he wanted to _see_ it happen, so there was no way out of the taste except to hurry on out of the room and get a drink/wash up). Sometimes they like it, my husband does, and hey, no problem, I love it. But I’ve had many, many more requests to either finish off in a… different way. My husband has only recently come to prefer it, claiming that no girl has ever gotten him off with a blowjob. Until he met me… _ego explodes_😉 I’m with **catsix** , too. It’s supposed to be what works for _him_. And it should be enjoyable - women wouldn’t want to be gone down on and have her man act grossed out. I’ve had some terrible cunnilingists… however, as always, communication is the key. The guy _did_ improve, eventually (he was quite stubborn and informed me that he read about it on the internet, and I was supposed to be enjoying it. Uh. Okay. So I guess his preference overruled… um… _mine_.) It should go both ways. I’ve had the best results when listening to my partner, and learning what he liked best. Oddly, it wasn’t always swallowing. Whatever works. ---

[QUOTE=John Carter of Mars] Best. Sig line. _EVAH!_ [/QUOTE] LOL! [QUOTE=dnooman] The next time she swallowed (with vigor I might add), and I almost went blind. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=jjimm] And what a difference that made. It’s not a dominance thing, it just feels incredible. [/QUOTE] I never realized that the orgasm could feel so different depending on whether the girl swallows … cool! [QUOTE=Anastasaeon] he was quite stubborn and informed me that he read about it on the internet, and I was supposed to be enjoying it [/QUOTE] That immediately made me think of the song “[Read About Love](http://lyrics.rare-lyrics.com/R/Richard-Thompson/Read-About-Love.html)” by Richard Thompson – the chorus goes: > [@](#): > > So I read about love-read it in a magazine > Read about love-Cosmo and Seventeen > Read about love-In the back of a Hustler, Hustler, Hustler > So I-know what makes girls sigh > And I-know why girls cry > So don’t tell me I don’t understand > What makes a woman and what makes a man > I’ve never been to heaven but at lest > I’ve read about love I had to fire up iTunes and listen to it – it’s playing right now. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Misnomer] I never realized that the orgasm could feel so different depending on whether the girl swallows … cool! [/QUOTE] The difference, for me, is that you want stimulation to continue during the orgasm (though of course people’s milage may vary on that point.) If the dick comes out of the mouth, it’s a big letdown. ---

[QUOTE=Priceguy] You’re both preaching to the converted (although I’m entirely unclear on what you mean by “insult”, **Susie** ); I also think you might as well swallow. But if a partner of mine does blowjobs to completion but doesn’t swallow, it’s no skin off my nose. I don’t care, and what I’ve been trying to say in this thread is that I don’t understand why it seems to be such a big deal to so many guys. [/QUOTE] I don’t get it either. I particularly don’t get the “It feels like rejection” argument about spitting. If a woman has just given me a blow job to orgasm, i’m not exactly overcome with feelings of rejection. I can sort of understand… [QUOTE=Excalibre] The difference, for me, is that you want stimulation to continue during the orgasm (though of course people’s milage may vary on that point.)
