When it comes to swallowing, I’m not a big fan. Actually, when it comes to oral sex at all, I actually view it as more of an appetizer before the main course. Oral sex has never been something I lusted after, but I know there are guys out there who prefer this to anal/vaginal sex. Why anyone would rather get a blowjob is something I won’t even pretend to understand, but they’re out there.
There is, however, one aspect of blowjobs that I find particularly interesting: swallowing. Over the past few days I decided to ask my friends and co-workers their feelings on the subject.
More often than not, the straight guys I talked to were big fans of girls who swallow. There were several reasons for this, and the one that came up the most was cleanliness. Apparently it’s fine to get sweaty and gross with another naked person, but when it comes to cum, they’d much rather have a proper place to dispense of the substance instead of on their own stomachs and chests. That, to them, is much too messy. However, of all the porn I have seen (and I’ve seen quite a bit) blowjobs tend to end with splatter all over the blowjob giver’s face. This turns us on! We see the completed act all over the guy/girl’s face and that turns us on, yet in the bedroom straight guys would rather not see it.
Another popular reason for liking a girl who swallows was that it “really completes it.” It’s an insult not to swallow, saying, “Yeah, I’ll go down on you, and I’ve already got your spunk between my teeth, but to swallow this would require much more of an effort that I don’t have.” Spitting it out into a cup, sink, or trash can is downright rude.
The best reason (in my opinion) for swallowing actually came from a girl. She pointed out that the act of swallowing is one final muscular contraction that happens while still encompassing the penis. This final muscular movement is what really differentiates a blowjob from masturbation or a handjob, and it really makes the orgasm feel that much better.
When it comes to performing the act of swallowing, there were a few men and women I talked to who really enjoy doing it. They see that it pleases their partner. It turns a lot of them on and they wouldn’t have it any other way. Several people mentioned that the more meat in a guy’s diet, the worse the spunk tastes. I was told that vegan semen actually tastes pretty good.
(Complete side note, one girl I work with was telling me about an episode of Howard Stern where a guy claimed he could tell if a woman was a meat eater, vegetarian, or vegan based solely on sniffing her crotch. How bitchin’ is that?)
Just about every straight male I talked to loved when girls swallow, yet nearly every straight girl I talked to was opposed to it. Though I have read many articles say that it’s demeaning to women, this wasn’t the problem the girls had with it. Basically, they really just found the taste disgusting. They don’t have a problem with giving a blowjob, but swallowing isn’t going to be their main goal. But, like I said, there were some girls who did think of it as a turn on, so if you really need a girl that swallows, don’t worry, there are those out there that enjoy it.
Then there were the gay guys. A few told me they enjoy when their partner swallows, but it definitely has to be on their own accord (in other words, they’ll never ask for it, but they’ll gladly accept it). One of my friends was telling me that he is very similar to me in that he views it as a form of foreplay instead of the main event. This isn’t to say that there aren’t occasions where he won’t give a blowjob start to finish, but he’d really rather just fuck.
I’m interested in how you feel about swallowing, so please leave a comment telling me your opinion. Do you swallow? Does it turn you on to do it? To have it done to you? Is there a way to make it more tolerable? (Have you ever had someone given you a blowjob while they have ice in their mouth? Damn that feels crazy, doesn’t it?)
And bisexuals, if you’re out there reading this, who would you rather go down on, a guy or a girl? I have to know!

It really depends on what kind of mood I’m in. Most of the time I really don’t want to swallow, but sometimes I’m really into the idea. As far as swallowing for me…I really don’t care. It’s nice, but I honestly think I’d rather come on their chest or stomach (or face if I’m feeling careful, haha). Maybe that has something to do with the whole “disposal” idea you were talking about with straight guys. I have no aversion to cum, so it can go wherever.

Love cum. I always swallow. I don’t particularly care one way or the other if a giver is swallowing for me; whatever is their preference is mine. I don’t like receiving facials… if only because I don’t really understand what’s the point… its a waste of good material.

I actually can’t get there when I’m a receiver. Some guys (and I’ve had lots of conversations where I’ve found THIS is a common problem) are so sensitive, that receiving a Beej starts to hurt after a while. That’d be me. It feels great for the first minute or two, but by minute 5 its like a dentist appointment.
When I’m the giver, I really can enjoy swallowing sometimes, but its got to be someone I’m really into. If its just some dude, I’d really rather not take it in my mouth. At that point, however, I agree with Liam. If this is just a hookup, why waste all the energy on a Beej? Get to the main event! If I’m with a guy long term, he’s gonna get a lot of laps from me, but if its a one time thing, I’m going to want about a month’s worth of action in one night, and I know you’re going to fall right to sleep or jump right out the door as soon as the sucking is done–you’re not getting off so easy (so to speak).

Hmmm, I agree with Liam and Phil that actual sex beats a BJ. That being said I swallow depending on how much I like/am attracted to the guy. Usually I have standards so it’s not a problem. Although one time I decided half-way into fooling around with a friend of mine that I’d rather be watching reruns of friends for all the pleasure I was getting, so I spat it out on his futon. Dick move, I know, but it was better (I thought) than leaving in the middle.
Also, I think only one person’s cum I’ve tasted didn’t taste disgusting. The first thing I do when I’m done with sex is go to the sink and drink a lot of water. Also, a facial means two things for me (and I would assume to most people).
1. It asserts dominance much more than swallowing
2. It’s more taboo and therefore more kinky.
So it’s fun, once again depends on how hot the guy is.

I’d have to say as a giver I swallow strictly because so many people get off from the idea of someone taking “all” of you. Personally I find it extremely hot though when a guy will cum on my chest/abs, or me on theirs. Taste isn’t really an issue, but at the same time I can tell from the taste. Guys that have a more meat oriented diet tend to be really bitter tasting, where as guys that will balance out their diet are more bland and salty, and guys that a re strictly vegetarians/vegans have a really sweet taste. Guys that do not eat a healthy diet, or guys that smoke, are disgusting. Period. I can always tell an unhealthy individual because the finished product forces me to spit, other wise it kills my mood, it’s that bad.

I swallow….not every time, and certainly not every guy. I really have to be “moved by the spirit” (in other words…HAMMERED) to be really WANTING to do it. Otherwise I’d rather they just shot on me…provided of course the BJ is the final act of the show.
I can try to offer some insight into the guys who prefer blowjobs to anal/vaginal sex, and I think it’s purely psychological. As Suleman said, there’s a dominance/power factor that comes into play: to some it’s a turn on to have another be submissive and perform an action that provides them pleasure. The most obvious sign of this submission by the giver is for them to continually make eye contact with the receiver of the BJ (sounds like a fancy title from a Lois Lowry book) as if to say, “See what I’m doing for you?”
I loooove BJ’s –getting or giving them– but don’t see it as a suitable replacement for sex and I don’t think other gay men should like at it that way either (I’ll leave it for the hetero men to make their own determinations). Of course, I’ve always been intrigued by the fact that most, not all, gay men like going down but straight chicks typically seem to do it only when they absolutely have to do so. That’s why the gay guys are better at it, of course. 
Ok, you know I’m longwinded, and I’m supposed to be pretending to be working, so……toodles.

I’ll have to reiterate many of the points already spoken. I too find a BJ to be a lead up to the final act. I find them more useful in the long term relationship, because there would be days where I’d wake up and have to get to class right away, but there’s not enough to time, clean up, fuck, clean again, and get dressed and leave, so a little oral action is just what the doctor called for. Though, honestly a lot of times I would even prefer a dry hump/grind/what-have-you to a BJ. I’ve also found that I get that pain problem like Phil sometimes, and other times guys just aren’t really putting enough effort in to it.
When it comes to swallowing I don’t see a reason not to unless A) I’ve gotten in bed with someone and suddenly realize I didn’t want to be. i.e. they aren’t attractive enough to inspire me, are behaving in a way that kills the mood or whatever is just uninspiring. B) Cleanliness is a big deal. I really don’t like getting cum on me or my things. It smells weird and can be hard to clean up. C) If I feel like the other person wants me to swallow but is unwilling to do the same for me. I’m big on reciprocation.
But I definitely enjoy it for how much a guy goes crazy when you do it. I’m interested to hear what more BJ peeps have to say though. Louis can’t be the only one, and I’ve heard his story many times while trying to get him to rim and fuck people. hahaha

God, NO! I’m one of those straight girls who don’t swallow. In fact, I don’t even put it in my mouth unless it has some taste rubber around it. I hate the taste of the thing, so I definitely don’t want the to try the stuff coming out of it. It just doesn’t seem clean to me, and I feel like “ugh!” whenever I even think about it. It really creeps me out, yet I only have one girl friend who feels the same way. Everyone else I know (of girls) seem to be fine with it. So maybe I’m just the odd one out..?
Luckily though, I have a bf who is ok with just getting bj’s on “special occasions” and it involving a flavored condom, and who also thinks the fucking is much better than oral.

Mr. Reed, where you come up with this shit is beyond me.. lol….
But as a “BI” sexual male, i will reply to your question at hand……..
In my opinion I would have to prefer a “Male” to go down on me as they for some reason can suck dick better then a female can, but that’s just me……. however; at the same time if I was the person going down on someone which honestly i have yet to do so i dono
I do not nor have I ever swallowed and have no intentions to do so… however; I have had both male and females swallow my cum and this was by choice or by obligation I would assume…. lol
No swallowing does not turn me on it just feels good and yes I RATHER JUST FUCK!!!

Getting a blow job is very frustrating to me because the other person’s face is so far away from my face, and body so far away from my hands…
Swallowing: Doesn’t do anything for me. I’d rather avoid it myself, and rather not subject the other person to it.

Swallowing is an extremely intimate experience. It’s not simply: do you spit or do you swallow. It’s an issue of trust and commitment.

I have not and will not swallow until the stock market reaches 9,000. Times are tough, we all gotta make sacrifices.

I swallow. I love to feel my man’s dick pulse in my mouth, pumping cum. After he finishes I still suck the head and hope he does it again.

I think cum is probably the most disgusting substance to taste, with the exception of chewed pills or sour milk. Just thinking about the taste makes me gag. Girl juice is a LITTLE better, but not by much. Despite my love of sex, bodily fluids in my mouth that came out of someone’s genitals make me want to vomit.

I love it when a girl swallows. For me it has nothing to do with dominance or debasement. First off if a girl won’t let you come in her mouth she is removing the stimulation at the height of pleasure, and no, a hand just isn’t the same. I want women to swallow because sex is more about an intimacy and emotional connection for me. I don’t have sex very often because it is rare that I find someone that I genuinely wish to share my time, and feelings and emotions with. I don’t love going down on a woman nearly as much as I love the fact that what I am doing is pleasurable and arouses them. Equally, I feel that when a woman goes down on me it is because she is doing something for my sole enjoyment because she cares about me and is aroused by the fact that I find it pleasurable and arousing. Building upon that when a woman swallows it makes me feel as though she is comfortable enough with me that she is willing to swallow and isn’t going and spitting it out like it’s something she finds repulsive. It is about acceptance of the other partner. It is all about the emotional connection with the other person, that like vaginal fluids and the saliva from kissing it is another fluid that is a part of your partner.
