Good point because when they get all freaked out just before that moment and start to pull out it sort of breaks the rhythm and I wonder what is going on… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Branwen \* > \*\*Him pulling out and me getting hit in the eye is a bigger concern of mine. \*\* First of all I’d never in a million years pull out at that moment, short of some natural disaster that required our immediate attention for continued survival. Even then, it’s questionable. I wasn’t blessed with the large amount of sympathy for my partners the other gents were, apparently. I figure if she’s down there already, she knows what’s coming (bad pun not intended). I don’t find anything gross about it myself anyway. Hell I like kissing afterwards - doesn’t bother me at all. As for accidentally getting hit in the eye, umm, I’m guilty of perpetrating that crime on partner. But only once. It wasn’t during a hand job or a blow job though. Yeah, that’s all I’ll say, but it was an accident, I swear. I’m more careful now, after I was told it’s actually painful (and I thought porn was a _good_ form of sexual education when I was younger…) ---

The problem is, I have a hard time believing that.

But, I’ve had it repeatedly beaten into my thick skull, by various women, that coming in their mouths is not acceptable. ---

**Flybynight** , if I were male, I’d probably feel the same way, unless I was with a girl that had never done it before. Then maybe I’d give a heads up. I admire your attitude about kissing afterwards. And, yes, getting hit in the eye was incredibly painful. Kind of funny, but still painful. I was seriously concerned about my eyesight, and even more worried about how I would explain my new blindness to my parents. ---

**Davebear,** I once saw myself stepping into a relationship with someone I knew pretty well, but had not yet been intimate with. Since we were both adults with some sexual experience behind us, I wrote a 30-question multiple-choice quiz for her to take. (No, taking the quiz wasn’t a requirement of anything, it was just for fun, and allowed us to learn more about ourselves until we actually had the opportunity to do the deed, as children and circumstances prevented immediate bed-hopping.) So I will inject some of these quiz questions to this thread in the hopes of keeping the excitement level up. I guess what I’m saying is there is more to the question than just “spit or swallow.” Here are three of the questions I asked. I don’t remember her responses, but I do recall they were favorable (yet we are no longer together, go figure): QUIZ (excerpts from) With the right and loving partner, semen is: 1. Something a gal’s just gotta put up with 2. Love juice; a sexy part of your man’s performance 3. Useful for procreation only (Read the next two questions together, before answering either) You are with a guy that you know very little, but somehow you ended up in bed. During fellatio, he comes in your mouth. Your reaction is: 1. Disgusted, yecch! How dare he do that! 2. Pleased that your technique and charms made him so excited 3. You tell him to let you know in advance next time, or else… 4. Wow! What a sexy and personal way to share a great sensation! You are with a guy that you like, the feeling’s mutual, and you are developing a promising relationship. During fellatio, he comes in your mouth. Your reaction is: 1. Disgusted, yecch! How dare he do that! 2. Pleased that your technique and charms made him so excited 3. You tell him to let you know in advance next time, or else… 4. Wow! What a sexy and personal way to share a great sensation! Comments, anyone? ---

Damn. I hope it isn’t an expensive camera. I feel guilty about smashing good equipment, even after I pay the owner for it. Well, since she can’t drink, and isn’t going to the bar, I’m not too worried about that part. And, since her hubby is driving her to the dopefest, there isn’t any other way she’s getting me naked. **Pammipoo** , on the other hand… And, that’s not a dream, that’s a f@ckin’ nightmare! You’ve gotta stop eating those anchovie pizza’s right before bedtime. 🙂 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by flybynight \* > \*\*Yeah, it’s too bad that their discomfort, moral objections, whatever their reasons were, have become a long lasting problem for you.

Hardly anyone answered it. I don’t know if this thread gets enough traffic, other than from us regulars, to get many responses, but I appreciate the thought. ---

It’s quite disturbing. I might have nightmares tonight.
