Male equivalent here. With the additional factor that if someone decides to insist or to spring it on me, there’s very rapidly no there there for anything to happen to anyhow.
Dunno if I’ve got an oral antifixation or what, but ewww

What about lesbians?

Nope, not even then.
It just doesn’t do anything for me, ya know?
At best it’s mildly diverting but sort of distressing in that I have nothing for me to do (assuming we’re not 69ing). Plus, it’s not enjoyable enough to me in and of itself that I won’t get ummmm bored. I’m fairly easily distracted at the best of times, and non-69 cunnilingus just isn’t fun enough to keep my mind centered on the activity at hand, if you see what I mean.
And that’s at best.
At worst it’s seriously uncomfortable on the edge of painful. Or weirdly non-physically uncomfortable if you’re with a fella who obviously feels he should be doing it (rather than actually wanting to).
Either way, I’d just as soon skip it and get to the fuckin’, thanks.*
YMM, of course, V.
*And let’s not talk about men who won’t believe me when I inform them that I’m not a fan and insist on having a go anyway. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH! I’m an adult! I know what makes my girly bits all happy and tingly! They’re not your girly bits! Do I argue with you when you express preferences? AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!.
Sorry - I had that built up from my dating days.
I’m probably totally wrong. Still, I remember from my single days that some people you French kissed seemed to have smoothe tongues and some people you kissed had rough tongues. I always figured that some girls liked one better than the other when recieving. Also, some techniques that might work with a smoothe tongue might be down right annoying with a rough tongue…and vice-versa.

For me, it’s not the texture of the tongue necessarily, but a combination of movement and how wet the mouth is that holds the tongue. It can be the difference between a small orgasm (or none at all) and one that’s earth shattering and squirt inducing.
I like receiving cunnilingus when it’s good; however, I’ve had my share of really boring, awful cunnilingus. There have been times when I’ve been with a guy, he’s been trying for a while, and (when the inevitable happens and he asks how it was) I have to be honest with them and tell them that it was bad in the nicest way possible. ::shrugs:: I can understand not being into it if that’s all you’ve ever had. I just don’t quite understand not liking it at all, although I acknowledge that it exists.
I’ve heard of that too. It’s all individual, like anything else really. I’ve just learned not to believe women who say they’re the best at giving head, until I see sufficient evidence to the contrary. The only girl I ever got a really amazing blowjob from was the one who didn’t brag about her skills all the time.
Agreed.
You’ll have trouble finding my clit! 
I’ve noticed that too. It varies by person, though. The first girl I was intimate with in any way would only give me head if I hadn’t showered recently, because she loved my taste and smell. Mileage varies.
Not big on getting (female here). Sorry it just doesn’t do anything for me and I don’t find it all that intimate. With my last b/f, I faked an orgasm to get him to stop. He enjoyed giving and I didn’t want to hurt his feelings.
I loooovvvveeee giving BJs and last b/f told me his toes curled and he saw stars.
I’m surprised that no one has really mentioned slobber. Totally gross and unsexy to have a guy salivating all over your area making everything cold and damp. This is usually when he also goes into overdrive and starts getting really athletic about it, either because he is excited or because he is getting impatient, and this is a huge turnoff too (sometimes hurts too). No one wants to be subjected to an unsexy slobbery ordeal for 20 minutes, trying to think of a tactful way to tell him to cut it out without having to fake it. Sometimes it’s a little too awkward to offer someone tactical advice at that point.
On the other hand, if the giver has a basic grasp of the concept that clits aren’t mini penises, and isn’t married to the idea that you’re going to have an orgasm from cunnilingus, right here right now…then it can be good.

I’m pretty sure; she had blonde ‘big hair’ and said her name was Michelle, but I did drink more back then. 
Female checking in here, and I have to say that I LOOOOOVE when a guy goes down on me. It is fantastic, and I very much enjoy returning the favor. I have only ever met one guy that wasn’t very good at it and that was because he couldn’t follow instructions. “A little to my left” means exactly that, not put more pressure where you are right now. I swear, he was so frusterating that I spent a good deal of time playing mental sexual whack-a-mole (imagining that I’m slamming my fist on his head every time it popped up between my legs.) If he could have just moved a little to the left it would have been just fine! 
Seriously though, oral sex is a fantastic thing and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Something Dr. Drew mentions quite frequently on Loveline is that women who are multi-orgasmic tend not to like oral sex. I wonder why that is?
My girlfriend doesn’t really like it, she says she just doesn’t like someone’s head being down there.

Not true. I’m multi-orgasmic BECAUSE of oral sex. From what I understand from Masters and Johnson and the Kinsey report, about 75% of women are unable to achieve orgasm from penetration alone.
I fall into that 75% category. But then, my ex-husband, and other S.Os in my life have been phenomenal at oral sex, and other foreplay that gets me there.
I’ve only had one that wasn’t, and he didn’t care for it. The others were quite enthusiastic and obviously meant it when they said they enjoyed it. It’s either that, or someone very talented with his hands.
My ex-husband said that his second wife hated it and said it was “gross”.
I had a GF in HS that was kind of shy about being seen naked. Sex was no problem, just her being seen at any distance nude, was an issue for her. One night I was without condom, and offered her oral since we were “scheduled” to have sex that night (because it was Friday).
She said that she didn’t like it, and I was confused. How else could I pleasure her without a condom? I was determined to make her feel good, and insisted on trying to please her. After having read this thread, I now understand.
So, I went down. As ashamed as I am to say it, I took Sam Kinnison’s advice and tried to “lick the alphabet” (hey, I was in High School). She was less than pleased, I got a hair stuck in my teeth, and I found myself wondering why people liked the taste of pussy. I thought it tasted a lot like rust. Rust as in iron, iron as in iron in the blood, blood as in… well you know. That was not a good first experience, no wonder she was demurring. I was an idiot, and have not yet been comfortable offering such services, because I fear another awkward situation. I guess that will work itself out.
The same girl was the first to give me a BJ. She was apprehensive, but saw the effects of the “blue balls” she was giving me, and decided to relieve me. The first time she did an excellent job, I released, and she spat it out on the grass outside the car. I felt so bad. It was almost like she was vomiting. It killed the moment, but I was more concerned for her than me. I felt sooo bad.
She saw my concern, and apparently made an effort and steeled herself, because the next time she not only swallowed, she evacuated every last microliter of fluid from my body. Twitching would not be the term, I was apoplectic. My heart may have stopped. This came from a girl that had been with one other guy before, and was not used to oral sex in any way. She will forever be the gold standard.
Several years later, I hook up with a friend who describes herself as “the best blowjob giver, period.” She told me this after we were mid-hookup, so there was no anticipation. She sucked. Not in a good way at all. She was awful. I tried to give her gentle directions, but all she wanted to do was give a jackhammer, piece of shit, porno blowjob. I fell asleep. Both of us should have been ashamed of ourselves.
The last anecdote I have makes me cringe when I think about it, so I’ll just let that be. There was no sex that night. The girl disappeared after that too, anything could have happened.

Don’t forgot that the magic 25 percent includes women who are getting hands-free orgasms but may very well be stimulating the exterior parts of their clitorises (clitori?) by grinding against their partners’ hips, etc.

Actually, I find even worse than the slobber problem when they think they have to “drink” every drop of lubrication I produce. Ick.

See, and in a true YMMV sort of way, I almost never achieve orgasm (with a partner) without penetration. I’m occasionally multi-orgasmic, but I’ve yet to have a partner with whom it was possible for me to have an orgasm absent penetration. And I’ve had some fellas give it the proverbial college try.
*******TMI warning!
For whatever reason, my girly bits are veeeeeery picky about what they like. If stimulation (other than penetration - they always really like that), isn’t done juuuuuuuust so, it’s not fun - it’s at best awkward and at worst chafingly painful. With masturbation, this is not a problem. I get instant and flawlessly perfect feedback and can adapt seamlessly and immediately. When another person is doing the stimulation, the amount of communication required for me to achieve orgasm is… off-puttingly large and detailed. Kills the mood. Plus, since my girly bits are always down for the main event (so to speak) and I really, really like the main event, oral and manual stimulation is sort of an academic pursuit, if you will. Myself, I’d rather spend the time getting to the fuckin’. If a gentleman wants to engage in academic exploration, I’m game - but if it’s just for my benefit, then not worth the bother, if you see what I mean.*
*This of course applies to my sex life prior to meeting my husband - he already knows about my predilictions.
