Spit or Swallow? A followup poll TMI?

I hear ya Metal…I’ve only had one g/f who had braces, and that was one too many.

Sweet girl too.
FTR, that was a “bad” sensation.

If I had known when I was 16 that one day I would say “No thanks, we’ll skip the head”, I probably would have offed myself.

Y’know… there was another option you needed: gargle.

:smiley:

Well, eventually mine got better at it, and I developed a thicker skin. (literally)

One unsweetened iced tea, no lemon If you don’t mind some friendly advice from your neighborhood bartender, maybe you should spend some time analyzing your feelings towards it, to see if you can figure out why you feel that way. I can guarantee your hubby would like to know.

Well, there are those retractable teeth Margo was talking about. Ain’t evolution a wonderful thing?

I would suggest it may be a matter of technique. I know other guys don’t find it necessary to completely forgo head when their GFs get braces. The loose skin can be pulled back, so it’s out of the way, which is a common technique for increasing sensation, anyway. And, I believe she should be able to wrap her lips over her teeth in such a way as to prevent contact. It would probably take a bit of practice, but if she’s careful (and willing), I’m sure it can be done. Bear in mind that this may be uncomfortable for her, initially, so be supportive, if she’s willing to give it a try. It may feel completely different, but it should still feel good.

See? You were SO close. If you’d stopped at, “I don’t think you need braces. You’re beautiful the way you are.”, you woulda been golden. Any woman looking to “improve” her appearance wants support for her decision, not an argument.

Have another beer, on me, and think it over.

Well, that is sort of an option, but it leads to one of the two we are discussing. But, I guess if you want to share your opinion on the topic, it would be okay.

Mods; if you feel this goes too far, I’d appreciate it if you’d just give us a warning, rather than just locking down the thread.

Was that thickening permanent?

:smiley:

I named myself that because I’m a huge Stephen King fan, and my late husband was not the nicest of men…but no, I didn’t push him into a well!

Sure! He doesn’t know when I need to breathe! I feel claustrophobic, like I’m going to suffocate. I don’t like to play around in the pool and get my head ducked under either.

:wink:

A Few days later

Thanks for the Welcome, and I am not REALLY a preachers wife. My husband is sometimes called the Streetpreacher, hense the title.

But you can still join our church… if we had one.

Spit my Friend…that is called SCAR TISSUE…Ouch!

Sorry Metalhead…it was there and I HAD to take it!!

Margo (who is off to patent retractable dentures…and flip top heads…)

Been doing that since November of 2000, actually.

For now, I’m content to accept it’s just a matter of personal boundaries. So’s the husband.

I think.

Ahhhh…that’s good tea. Hits the spot.

Well, that’s a feeling I can relate to. Do you have difficulty breathing through your nose?

I’m guessing that was the first time he tried it? If you’ve been thinking about it that long, it’s probably something so deeply rooted you aren’t even consciously aware of it. There probably isn’t anything a bartender can say that will help. But, I would suggest that the “For now” part of that sentence may be the most important. Because, if hubby loves you, knows how you feel about it, and keeps trying, anyway, as you mentioned earlier, he’s probably not totally accepting it. I hope I’m wrong about that, though.

It was just a callous.
After liberal application of lotion over a period of time, AND making sure that it was absorbed by vigorous rubbing; everything was back to normal.

Somewhat. It makes it even more difficult when I am panting… :wink: and when I go a little deep. It blocks off the nasal passages in the back of my throat.

I do like my head to be touched, just not held by the ears and…you know what I mean…

I actually had a talk with him yesterday about it, and explained my feelings.

He said he is aware of them, and he can understand and respect the whole “personal boundaries” issue I have. He tries to remember (which, I’ll grant, he does), but sometimes, he just plain forgets.

So hopefully, that’s the end of that.

I do, but I’m not going to say it, either. :slight_smile:

Excellent! I hope it works out for you guys.

I don’t think there are many women (or men) who want their partner to grab their ears and …

My biggest issue with having him in control while I’m down there is that he doesn’t know when I need to swallow. I’m not a big fan of drool everywhere :slight_smile:

And Spit… all I can say is ouch! I can’t imagine a callous on skin that sensitive!

Sapphire Wolf… I too have some boundary issues about sex. Unfortunately when mine pop up there is no act that is appropriate :frowning: If your husband is just a little carried away by his desire for you then maybe a previously aggreed upon special word or gesture can gently remind him he is treading into a zone that will make you uncomfortable? (Safe words… they aren’t just for BDSM anymore!) Many kudos to you for actually being able to discuss your feelings with him too… I know some people who don’t seem to be able to discuss these things and that really kills a marriage :slight_smile:

Oh and Dave… I need a refill! This is thirsty thread :slight_smile: Maybe I’ll take some OJ this time… just a little sugar. Thanks.
