Showers, kitchen, woods, an unused vestibule in high school, and other places, too. _Not_ a legend! I usually _must_ sitdown right afterwards, though: Can’t trust my legs… ---

Thinking back, it explains the garden hose and bowling ball by your bed. I had to pull the sheets out of my ass afterwards. Thank you again. 🙂 ---

Not a myth, I actually prefer it this way. Nothing like looking down and seeing your girl with her mouth full going at it and looking back up at you on occasion. Very erotic. And the good ones will require you to sit down afterwards. The real good ones make my hands and feet tingle. ---

In my experience, it’s a less-than-desireable act. But I’ve always enojyed doing it. \*\* Unlucky you. I’ve had several girlfriends who loved giving head. Mrs. RickJay loves it… and she’s soooooo good at it. I have to agree with the OP, though. Standing up while you’re having sex can distract from the act - it’s nice for a change but as a general rule oral sex is a lot more fun if you’re lying or sitting down and relaxed. It’s not a MYTH, but most of your blowjobs are not going to be in a kneeling/standing position. ---

**RickJay** , don’t misunderstand me. I’ve dated girls that loved giving head. All of them have been into it, in fact. But not a one of them was willing to take a load on her face. ---

I had never heard of a ‘facial’ until a few years ago. I’m not against it, I guess I just don’t see the appeal in it. But hey, each to his/her own. If my husband wanted it, I’d be happy to oblige him - I don’t think it’s ever occurred to him. Hm… ---

Standing BJ’s are definitely not a myth. My SO prefers lying down, or at least sitting, for the previously mentioned weak-in-the-knees problem. But the standing position has occurred more than once. And as for the facial - when he wants to, then okay, but it’s not my preference. I’d rather finish without him, shall we say, pulling out. Or, if he wants it to be “on” me, about 6 inches lower than my face is a turn on. But, that’s just me 😃 And **Rachelle** , I always understood the “money shot” to be him coming wherever, as long as you could actually see it “land” - not just on the face. Yes/no? ---

**spooje** , you are not alone. Not only that, but while these things have been tried, I’m not all that big on the BJ to begin with. Once you realize the dissapointing reality of the fact that a BJ will never get you off, you sort of lose your liking of it. I don’t like the other way around either. Needless to say, my wife is an understanding woman. I think she wants to kill me … ---

You gotta take a blowjob however you can get it even if it means standing on your head, because you never make up a missed one, its just one less when you get to heaven. ---

As you know, I’m not one of those men. ---

One of my gripes with life is the impression i have that everybody else is getting more sex than I am. But after reading the OP i realise some people really don’t get out much. I mean, cum on, I’ve done this pretty regularly. I guess I don’t have it so bad after all. ---

Well, I’ve certainly had a facial or two[sub]dozen, hundred?[/sub] in my life, I never actually asked for it. It happens most frequently when my merman attempts to deposit it about a foot or so lower and overshoots the mark. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by arachnidlove \* > \*\*I was just wondering…why is a facial elusive? > > I can’t possibly be the only one who’s gotten one and actually requested it. \*\* We need a thread on this subject. But I must confess I would be embarassed to be the one to start it. 🙂 However, I will say that nearly every girlfriend I’ve ever had has done the facial thing for me, and I find it to be a massive turn on. Especially when the girl asks for it. Whoa! ---

"Okay, so I’m watching, um, a documentary about porn, and on comes a scene with the man standing up and the girl on her knees practicing her sword swallowing. " Well, I should most likely choose not to have one if she has a sword in her mouth already. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jophiel \* > **I used to date girl who had a peculiar habit of deciding to give me oral sex whenever I was standing in the room, on the phone with my mother.** Me too! If I were on the the phone to my parents, she would be at my zipper. It was weird. I thought I was the only one who knew a woman like that. It did make for some interesting phone calls. And I have to admit I did keep in touch with my family a lot more while I was dating her. (by the way, yes, I stood for the phone calls).
