Welcome sexspert. Your fake it til you make it advice may go unheard, as many of the participants in this thread may be long gone. This is 2-3 year old thread.

ETA: the OP hasn’t been around here in several months…

If your SO learns how to do this, I wouldn’t be surprised if you spend a _lot_ less time on the Internet.

Yeah, I know this is a twice-resurrected zombie, but:

I agree. Getting about halfway in is plenty. I did have one GF many years ago (hell, at this point, ALL my GFs were decades ago!) who deep-throated me a few times, and there was a lot less stimulation of the head of my penis that way.

I hadn’t heard that joke in 40 years. 🙂

Great advice. I only lift at gyms with styrofoam barbells. No spotter.

Yeah, I’m kind of a badass. Hard as granite under these droopy manboobs.

Good for you for asking. Like anything else - it takes practice. Why don’t you visit the site Pornhub. No need to become a member if you don’t want to. Then in the search bar type: “deepthroat.” There will be hundreds of videos to choose from. Go buy a flexible dildo and get a feel for how deep you can go - comfortably. You want the experience to be good for you, too. If you don’t enjoy it don’t do it. Remember that a great blowjob is not just about how deep you can go. It’s much more than that. By the way - gagging is a bit par for the course for most folks who like to go deep.  
Good luck! And have fun!

Deepthroating is generally overrated because it’s very often a scrape-a-thon of molars if not done properly.

The key is one hand down near the base, the other hand left to Honore the Balzac, and plenty of tongue action and suction…and as little teeth as possible.

Did anyone else notice that the date of the last post prior to being resurrected was June 9th? Seems appropriate for this topic.

It’s been said that no man divorces a wife who gives awesome blowjobs.

Now she might divorce HIM, but thats a different story.
