Additional data point: I like fellatio, but not as an abstract concept. Never a “Damn, I’d like to suck someone’s cock right about now,” but I have moments of “Damn, I’d love to suck X’s cock right about now,” with X being someone I know, or have known, intimately. (The other reason I’m not a fan in the abstract is because, let’s face it, cocks vary widely. To paraphrase someone else, I’ve seen some cocks that would make a girl turn vegetarian.) ---

Wow, this is all very interesting. Usually when we hear about this stuff, it’s as a chore, or something men are trying to convince women to do. Here I thought it was just Margaret (“I have sex like a gay man… I love dicks. I do. They’re great. The men attached, not so great, but dicks, always welcome.”) Cho. ---

Damn, so many lucky guys. My SO doesn’t like giving head. She chokes regularly and it takes me a (long?) time to come so it makes her jaw hurt. Not that I love getting blowjobs anyways. I think they’re nice but that’s about it. though that may be because i never received an expert one. Who knows… ---

Never having actually given a blow job-does one have to suck the entire thing? Or, could one, say, alternate, between licking, sucking, stroking, etc? So much to learn… ---

How many women like to give handjobs? That is the ultimate-no muss,no fuss! No danger of STDS at all! ---

Guinastasia, the answer is yes, you can do it all. Most guys will gladly teach you what they like and stop you if you do something wrong. But as far as I know every girl does it differently, and every guy likes different things. There is no guaranteed right way. ---

It is very enjoyable for me. I love everything about it. The taste, the feel, the scent, it’s all good. > [@](#): > > Damn, so many lucky guys. My SO doesn’t like giving head. She chokes regularly Tell her to wrap her hand around the shaft. It keeps the penis from going back far enough to bother the gag reflex. ---

As others have said, in reality , oh yes! Intimate and great to give pleasure. In abstract, well, no. Although, come to think of it, at present all sex life is abstract. ☹ Hmm I wonder if **Elfkin** has a point about smokers. oral fixation etc. So does that mean if I were to give up smoking…? ---

YMMV… It makes sense, the whole oral fixation thing. There are alot of fetish sites about women smoking. Another interesting take on it - would be people who were breastfed as opposed to those that weren’t. I’m sure Freud has addressed this somewhere. ---

Ummm, I like it more than my husband. Yes. you read that correctly. He doesnt mind it, but never lets me finish him that way. Intercourse has to happen for him, where as its not as important to me. Or wasnt until we started to try to make a little mojo. ---

I had a friend in Kupang, West Timor. She was probably around 45 years old and loved to give me head. Being a male whore anyway, I always quite readily agreed. She is also the best I have ever had. She told me once that she really enjoyed observing men’s reactions when they enjoyed it, and that it made her perform even better. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by matt\_mcl \* > \*\*Women who enjoy bjs: what part about it do you like? The only response I’ve seen is his reaction, but the main thing for me is how it feels in my mouth and the (pre-ejaculatory) taste. \*\* :: raises hand :: And why am I the first person to throw this in? :o 😃 I like the smell. Mmmm. The reaction’s nice, the taste is nice, the feel of it’s nice… but you just can’t bottle that musky scent. Thank the gods, 'cause if you could I’d never get anything done. [minor hijack] And I do think there may be something to the oral fixation thing… I used to smoke, and at 29 I still suck my thumb if I’m really, really, really stressed or trying very hard to think of something (not, you know, in front of random strangers… I think Mr. Kitty and maybe one or two close friends have actually seen me suck my thumb).
