[QUOTE=pbbth] 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. [/QUOTE] Seems like a simple problem with an equally simple solution …make your stuff smell like freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies by slathering it up in, you know, freshly-baked, soft and warm chocolate chip cookies. You say your guy likes strawberries? Puree some strawberries with a little sugar and work some onto and into your female parts. Problem solved. You’re welcome. Yes, I do take travelers checks. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=pbbth] He says it is the smell factor, which I understand.

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. [/QUOTE] Gum or mints. I had a friend who used to have that problem so he started using mints when he was gonna go down on a girl. He said it worked like a charm! ---

Probably frottage with a ton of making out thrown in. Oral sex is just boring, in my experience. ---

The mints must be sugar free, **bouv**! That is an important part of involving any food products in your sex life, actually. ---

I’m very self-conscious about this and I’ll probably get flammed…but… I like to be touched. I don’t mind giving oral as long as she’s touching me with her hands…somewhere (doesn’t have to be there) and maybe rubbing appreciatively? Even my shoulderblade will do, if that’s not too icky. I don’t think a slight sensual feedback is too selfish, but then I’m a guy. If not, well, oral is just like homework & I get bored and my jaw hurts after 20-30 minutes. Softness ensues. “Glad you had a good time. G’nite.” ---
