Another vote for oral, both giving and receiving, preferably at the same time. I find that 69 sufficiently distracts me to really enjoy receiving. Plus, you have the likely bonus of synchronized orgasms to make it even better. ---

I’ll love receiving oral and writhe in pleasure for hours under my wife’s attentions. It’s rare I orgasm from it (though that seems to be a bit partner dependent) so finishing with intercourse is usual. It’s always better with that long oral session before the sex, though. Seems to pressurize the canon, so to speak. For guaranteed orgasm, though, gotta be doggy style. The bits seem to rub together so much better with it. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally Posted by **Mosier** > > Now I’m depressed. How did I end up with apparently the only person in the whole world who doesn’t like giving oral? Don’t be depressed. My boyfriend really wants to and he tries but it freaks him out and he can’t get past whatever the hell freaks him out about it to actually, you know, do it. He is very good at many other things but oral seems to be a problem for him. He has had the same problem with all of his girlfriends and he gets pissed off at himself for not being able to go down on a woman. I keep trying to think of ways to make it easier for him but so far I’ve not come up with anything that helps. ---

Really, though, is he claustrophobic or something? It’s not as if he’s got to fear choking or anything. You’ve probably tried it, but maybe post-shower sex would help? I can’t pick a favorite. What gets me off varies from day to day, which is probably a bit frustrating for my SO. ---

Actual sex, seated, face to face. You get to look at your partner face to face and you have easy access to pretty much everything. It’s also nice and slow. ---

I’ve admitted to all sorts of things in these threads over the years, including just mentioning in the sister thread that my favorite sex act is to give oral. However, I’m a little embarrassed to find that I’m actually embarrassed to admit that my second favorite is anal. (Apparently I’m not as sexually liberated as I thought.) ---

Don’t be embarrassed, **Risha**! I was going to post something similar…but couldn’t work up the nerve to be the first woman in the thread to do so. It’s not something I’ve done with another person, but as far as masturbation goes, anal penetration is a guaranteed orgasm (or multiples) every time. Now I _really_ have to make sure my mother never finds the SDMB. ---

It’s not as if he’s got to fear choking or anything. You’ve probably tried it, but maybe post-shower sex would help? He says it is the smell factor, which I understand. I am aware that it doesn’t smell like chocolate chip cookies or anything, so it doesn’t offend me, and I am not the only woman he has had this problem with before. He actually told me before we even considered getting intimate that it was something he had never been able to do. The last time he tried was literally 2 minutes after a shower but it didn’t help. Next on my list of things to try is flavored lube, which generally is not so much flavored as it is heavily scented, in hopes that it might help. He keeps trying, bless his heart, but he just can’t seem to get past it. He is the first man I’ve ever met to have this problem though so I am a bit stumped. I don’t suppose it matters too much as the last time we had sex I had about a dozen orgasms, but it would be nice if we could figure out a way for him to be able to work around his issues and go down on me. ---

> [@Abby\_Emma\_Sasha](#): > > I’m a female who likes the second act of Hamlet. > [QUOTE=Hamlet] > So does my wife. [/quote] So you’re bad right of the bat, perform well just after for a fifth of the total session, and then fall off again for the last 3/5? I guess having lots of people die in the middle of the action _would_ be quite the turnoff… ---

My new favorite thing is him on top of me, his arm cradling my head, his beard brushing my cheek and his hot voice whispering in to my ear as he plunges deeper and deeper in to my soaking wet pussy until he makes me gush all over. . .. And anal. 😉 ---

[/QUOTE] If you’re having multiple orgasms during intercourse (or handjobs or whatever), maybe you should just count your blessings! Sounds like he had a bad experience or something, and the last thing you want is someone ‘forcing’ himself to do something he obviously finds repulsive (as long as you’re GGG on your end). ---
