> [@featherlou](#): > > I don’t mean to be mean, but that’s a pretty silly reason to not engage in oral sex. If you’re only having sex to try to get pregnant, and the man never, ever masturbates, then it might logically follow that the guy shouldn’t get off from a blow job. Otherwise, it’s just logically inconsistent. If you don’t want to give or get oral sex, just don’t. I’ve been made to understand that it meant just that: no oral sex or masturbation, anal sex, anything that can be construed as non-reproductive Doesn’t mean everyone follows it that way of course. ---

Yup, it means anything non-reproductive. So birth control and male masturbation are both damning. Equally damning, supposedly, are the vile sins of touching (not just down there) a woman on her period, and of wearing two different fabrics at the same time. The clothes part is at Leviticus 19:19 (off the top of my head), and the period part is pretty close to the don’t-spill-your-seed rule in Leviticus. ---

This is great stuff. Inspired by this thread, I’ve [started one asking the same question of women.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=377777) Please drop by and help out. Oh, and in reply to the OP, all I can really do is reiterate the three most mentioned points so far: 1. Enjoy it and make sure he knows. 2. Watch the teeth. 3. Use your hand, but don’t overdo it. ---

> [@hawksgirl](#): > > Ok guys, any advice on handling this sort of thing? Any way to make it still work? > > No, not for me, it um… for a friend. Yeah, a friend. Yeah, hold and fondle his shaft with one hand, use your lips and tongue on the glans (especially the ridge where it ends, the frenum (V-shaped notch on the underside), and the occasional lick on the meatus (urethral opening) ). If you can manage to take him in your mouth briefly from time to time then that helps too. As you haven’t got your mouth full the rest of the time you can make enthusiastic noises about what you’re doing and what it’s doing to him; you can never tell a guy how big and hard he is too many times. In fact “enthusiasm” is the key word no matter what you’re doing; it does (used to do) far more for me if she’s really into it. ---

I can’t believe this thread is on its second page and nobody else has mentioned Altoids! :o 🙂 Yes, they really can, um, “enhance” the experience for the altoid-ee. Not enough so to make a sudden dash out to the store for a tin of them, but as an occasional treat… ---

Not enough so to make a sudden dash out to the store for a tin of them, but as an occasional treat… Yes, just make sure you stick to the basic minty flavors. I don’t think I want to hear tales of fellatio featuring, for example, the “curiously strong” Ginger Altoids. Maybe not even the cinnamon. After all, we want this: :o 😃 Not this: :eek: ☹ ---

> [@Mama Zappa](#): > > I can’t believe this thread is on its second page and nobody else has mentioned Altoids! :o 🙂 My gf asked me last year if the whole altoids thing was true. I didn’t know, although I had heard it mentioned. We felt like scientists running to the mini-mart to buy a tin, then rushing home to 'speriment. She initially wore eye protection, but took them off since they were steaming up. Wish I had thought to take pics.😉 P.S. Results were never published in a reviewed journal, but the authors state that the results fit our hypothesis. ---

Obviously you and she were doing something right!! A few years back, we were out at a concert with another couple. Our female friend brought out a tin of Altoids during intermission and offered us some. I started snickering and made some lewd remark which utterly confused her. Her husband whispered in her ear, and the look of dawning wonder and curiousity was hysterical. She said “But, do they _work_???”. Howling with laughter and embarassment, I managed to wheeze “Yes, they work!”. A few weeks later, I got an email from her saying “Hey, they really _do_ work!!!”. Talk about knowing too much about your friends’ sex lives! I wanted to bleach my brain. Of course, thinking about this anecdote tonight made me realize that doubtless, they wanted some brain bleach themselves, given how I told them! 😃 ---

The giver chews up a few Altoids. While still enjoying the cool mouth tingle, pleasure your partner. Definitely works well when the recipient is male. I don’t know if it would be quite so successful for a female recipient :eek: Someone else is free to conduct _that_ experiment! Oh, and post number 74 was from me, not Typo Knig, who was 300 miles away camping at the time. He did not have wireless access.
