As a straight male, I like more usually, I feel the orgasm more, plus i feel like the female feels like its more intense that way Thats the only one i have an opinion on. Bigger is usually better. ---

Um, sorry guys, I really hate semen. If we could just leave it out of the equation that would be fine with me. Now Iā€™m willing to put up with it because of all the other nice stuff that goes along with it, but chalk me up on all questions as ā€œthe less the betterā€ ---

Iā€™m not a fan of bodily fluids in general. I even want kisses to be as saliva-lite as possible. Lest anyone think this means Iā€™m prissy and unenthusiastic in the bedroom, I assure you Iā€™m not. Iā€™m a near-compulsive handwasher in general, and I just hate _stuff_ of any kind getting on me. I can cope with whateverā€™s necessary, but Iā€™m never going to vote for more smelly goo in any context. ---

More is better on all counts, although there is definitely a possibility for too much orally, so maybe not too much more if weā€™re talking oral. I enjoy being _ahem_ painted as well, and just turned on the new boyfriend to coming on new surfaces. Heā€™d previously sneered at pearl necklaces and the like as the stuff of porn, but now he thinks itā€™s really hot, so more would be awesome. Just not up my nose or in my eye, thank you. ---

I first read the ā€œnewā€ part as surfaces that you normally wouldnā€™t associate with sex. As in, on the table, or a mirror. I thought you were going to tell us that youā€™d discovered the varnishing properties of cum. ---

> [@Antinor01](#): > > d) anally > > Top here, so not really an issue. Really? I have no idea why but I had you pegged for a bottom. Oh wellā€¦ Iā€™m kind of with **Antinor01** on this (another gay man chiming in). Visually I like a lot of cum as it indicates a particularly good time was had. Anally? Iā€™m versatile verging on bottom and you really canā€™t feel when someone cums inside you so if itā€™s a single drop or a gallon you donā€™t really know (that and most of the time there are condoms involved so it doesnā€™t matter anyway). That said when watching porn I do love watching a guy get cum in his arse and having it all stirred up (preferably by a second guy), so you need a decent amount of cum for that. ---

> [@jackdavinci](#): > > Yep, most of the time. Yes they do, although bareback porn is still not considered mainstream and even where condoms arenā€™t used they donā€™t always do cum in the arse. Thatā€™s my favourite kind of cum shot though. Sometimes theyā€™ll cum internally though and just film the cum leaking out (sorry any straight guys who are throwing up onto their keyboards right now). ---

We use regular condoms for vaginal sex and, yes, handjobs and flavored condoms for oral. Heā€™s never actually finished with anal the few times weā€™ve done it, which is fine. So, I guess my preferred volume would either be none or, whatever, as long as itā€™s contained. And before anyone thinks Iā€™m a mean wife, all this condom use is at his instigation. I donā€™t mind though. ---
