**Davebear** to answer that question about the foreskin, you simply pull it back into place with your lips, and gently hold it shut with your tongue while you carry on doing what you’re doing. 😉 Personally I love the taste and texture, it’s part of the whole act for me, and it turns me on even more. Even if I don’t actually get him there with my mouth, I will frequently ask he finishes up there. And I _always_ carry on afterwards until he’s either all clean or he’s had enough. [sub]Oh boy… I don’t normally post to TMI threads… I need to go hide now…:o[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Davebear \* > **I can’t quite picture how you’d do that, but I’ll take your word for it.** Trust me, it takes a bit of practice, but it works. But frankly trying to do that restricts your movement, puts your tongue out of action, and may not stop all the stuff getting out… It’s really not worth the extra effort/awkwardness on the givers part, or the loss of sensation for the blokey. Another way of doing it if you can open your mouth wide enough is to use your fingers. But that depends an awful lot on how much stress your jaw can take, and your lovers, um, girth… 😃 ---

I would also think it would be a very odd sensation for the guy. I’ll never really know, though, since it isn’t an option, with me. > [@](#): > > \*\*Another way of doing it if you can open your mouth wide enough is to use your fingers.

Or, just stopping before it becomes an issue. BTW, if you don’t mind me asking, are you male or female? (Both are welcome. I just like to know who I’m talking to. 🙂 ) It’s an interesting username, but an unfamiliar one, and I can’t even guess as to gender. (Is gender still the right word, in these PC days?) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Margo \* > **Sort of makes me wonder why women weren’t born with flip-top heads or retractable teeth, I mean our thumbs are opposable for Christ’s sake…** 😃 Like viper fangs? I’d say there’s already enough resemblance, there, in some cases. 😉 Should I? Shouldn’t I? Aww, what the heck. I once got a blowjob from a woman who took out her false teeth. She was only about 30, at the time; maybe younger, I can’t remember exactly. But, she had bad teeth as a youngster, and had a full set of dentures by the time I knew her. So, one time, she took them out. She said it made it a little easier, physically, but she felt awkward doing it. I noticed a difference, but I can’t say that it was either better or worse; it was just different. ---

Um…ick…that made me picture my dear departed Grandma spanking Grandpa’s wrinkled old monkey…oh stop horrid mental picture…go away… Hi Dave!!! I had my fangs filed when I had braces put on my teeth, I should have asked for the dentures then? Oh there is another question…ever had a bj from a girl with hardware (oh god…another pun just waiting to happen) on her teeth?

So, this woman works at a sperm bank, and one day this guy comes in in a ski mask with a gun. He goes up to the counter and points the gun at her. “What do you want?” she says. He tells her to pick up the specimen on the counter and drink it. “You gotta be crazy” she says. He waves the gun in her face and says “Drink it now, or else”. She takes a deep breath, opens the cup, and downs the specimen. The guy pulls off the ski mask and lo and behold, it’s her husband. “See” he says, “that wasn’t so bad, was it?” Oh, and on the thing about colors of speculuums (speculi?), I have two, one is chrome and one is clear plastic with a light green adjustment lever. ---

Okay, I’m admitting the fact that I haven’t read all the threads here, but some heplful advice if you have trouble swallowing: Rule #1: Don’t forget that your hand is the most important part of the “job”. Keep it down by the shaft and balls so that you can take more in, and keep from gaging. When he’s about to orgasm, keep to roof of your mouth- swallowing is easier that way. Sorry if it’s TMI, to me swallowing is just so much better than spitting… a nice glass of Zin please, **Davebear** … ---

A 21 year old college student who must remain nameless (okay it was me) was questioning his 21 y.o. gf as to her reluctance to swallowing. Not a nasty inquiry, but a long one, and a frustrating one for both parties, who didn’t get each other: “Okay,” said I, “but what exactly is repulsive about it?” “It just is.” “Okay, but why?” and on and on. CUT TO: (INT)–LATER THAT SAME EVENING, IN BED. THE COUPLE IS CONCLUDING A VIGOROUS SESSION OF ORAL SEX (MALE RECEIVING, FEMALE GIVING) WHICH CONCLUDES WITH A FULL-ON MOUTH-TO-MOUTH KISS. Me: GaaaaaHHH!!! (runs to bathroom sink, spitting all the way) Her: See what I mean NOW? To this day, I’m not entirely sure I would have been so repulsed by a mouthful of my own warm cum if I’d known it was cumming. I think I was more surprised than grossed out. I think. But I was obviously at least partly grossed out, it’s true. ---
