How am I supposed to explain how to give good head if so many people are concerned about a much greater obstacle than jaw control? Apparently there are many girls out there who think the penis is icky, ugly, gross, etc., and by association so are blowjobs. Which means we need to back up a little more before diving into the good stuff.
Now I don’t want anyone to think I’m saying YOU MUST GIVE BLOWJOBS BECAUSE IT IS YOUR DUTY AS A MODERN WOMAN. Nuh uh. Some people just don’t like them, and have honestly tried enough times to qualify as a fair effort. This post is meant to target those who are new to oral sex, scared of oral sex, scared of the penis, or generally squeamish around all things that jump unexpectedly.
Okey dokey back to blowjobs. I can kinda see why someone would think they’re gross. Although I am apparently the dirty dirty girl who loves to give blowjobs (and you should therefore avoid reading anything on this site because YOUR EYEBALLS ARE ALREADY BURNING IN HELL FOR THE DIRTINESS YOU HATH BROUGHT UPON YOUR FORMERLY UNTAINTED SOUL), I will do my best to play devil’s advocate here. Let’s examine some of the common complaints and concerns:
- There is so much hair. Yes, an excellent point. But more and more guys are trimming or even completely shaving that area, so there’s a much lower frequency of pubic flossing than there was five years ago. I have found that it’s fairly easy to talk a guy into trimming if you do yourself already. And if he does it once he’ll see how huuuge his dick looks without all the hair. (The most master-minded of optical illusions.)
- It’s so funny looking. Eh well yeah. But they’re ALL funny-lookin’ so get over it. We girls are just as funny-lookin’ down there. We have folds and ins and outs and stuff. Golly gee whiz holy moly it’s amazing any of us ever look at each other naked. Oh, right. Hormones or pheromones or some shit. And then there’s the occasional weirdo like me who likes looking at hairy ugly funny-lookin’ things that are waving at me. What?? They’re fun to play with.
- I don’t like to see guys naked. Um, there may be a much bigger problem at work here. One is that you’re just not very sexual at all, and I fancy you don’t much like seeing yourself naked either, or you should wait a few more days until I write the post called “How to Eat Pussy.” Just sayin’. Either way, both matters are way bigger than my little blog.
- Blowjobs are degrading. No they’re not. Sweetie, you’re the one who’s got him by the balls, I think it’s obvious who’s in charge here.
- But I’m a feminist. CUT THAT SHIT OUT. I’m a feminist too. There are scary man-hating feminists and there are happy normal everyday feminists like your sister, your mother, your coworkers, the chick who makes your double tall extra foam latte, and nearly every other normal girl out there who thinks that men and women should have equal rights and equal say. Which includes equal time between each other’s legs.
- It tastes gross. Ok, I’ll give you that, sometimes it does. Yech, especially if he’s been drinking a lot of beer or anything sour. But taste of cum is easy to control. Have him eat anything sweet a couple hours before getting it on: fruit, fruit juice, maple syrup, etc. Although it’s easiest if you just swallow him whole and the cum goes straight down your throat, thereby avoiding all taste bud zones.
- I don’t like swallowing. That’s ok, many don’t. You don’t have to swallow (although that’s half the hotness factor right there, for both of you) and most guys don’t expect it. They appreciate the hell out of it, but don’t expect it. But if you don’t like swallowing because of the taste, see my suggestion above. If you don’t like it because it gets messy, that means you don’t have enough of it in your mouth because when you do it all goes straight back. If you simply don’t like swallowing, you can still get him to the Almost point and then finish him off manually, just make sure you give him sexy eyes while you’re doing it. You don’t want him seeing you r disgust at the thought of his cum. That will make any guy lose his hard-on.
- I don’t anything out of it. First of all, it’s not about you. It’s about him. It’s a really fucking cool feeling to be the reason for someone else’s orgasm, especially if you were actively making him orgasm. It’s all the better if you don’t make the other person feel obligated to do something for you in return for your “selflessness.” (This DOES NOT MEAN it’s ok to make him go down on you but never give him a blowjob, or vice versa. That is mean, hypocritical, and generally bad sex-iquette. Shame on you.)
- He’s uncircumcised! It’s weird! Again, get over yourself. A penis is a penis, whether or not it has a turtleneck. As long as the penis gets the job done, mm’kay? I’ve been with plenty of foreigners and seen plenty of uncircumcised dicks and it’s really no big deal. Go here for tips. Most guys will give you a quick run-down of how to hold it properly so you don’t stretch the skin out too much. In all honestly I didn’t notice half the time until afterwards when it was down to normal size and I was like hey lookie there! cool!
I hope this has been helpful to the scared and the squeamish out there. Please leave comments if you think I have left anything out that should be included.

OH MY VIX! (Yes I did intentionally replace GOD with VIX)
Although I will never give a male blow job (way prefer pussy) I must say this is the best write up about all the excuses under the sun … especially my favourite “I’m a feminist, I don’t do that … but I expect you to go down on me!” - equal oppourtunity seems a little skewed sometimes.
Enough rambling, I’m off to find the altar of VIX so I can sacrifice a virgin or something … well, maybe an oreo or 12

OK girl … I am a trimmer/shaver. My question is … which do women prefer? Completely shaved or neatly trimmed? Truthfully? I’m an either/or kinda guy (meaning it doesn’t matter to me how I keep it) but what do you as a woman, and the rest of the women out there, like or prefer? Inquiring minds wanna know (or at least mine does.)

Good advice!
I wish I hadn’t read this so early in the AM, though. All the pubic flossing and cum talk has me feeling a little ill;) I’m a queasy eater as it is in the AM;)

I HATE when a guy shaves it all. Cocks need a nest.
And any woman who says she’s not getting anything out of it isn’t doing it right. Watching a man get that turned on from what you do to him is the best aphrodesiac in the world, not to mention the pounding you can get if you get them worked up enough.

really? Guys are surprised if you swallow because they expect you not to? I never knew that. I thought they always expected a swallow. I have never understood going to all that trouble and then not swallowing. I mean eveything is already in your mouth. For Pete’s (and Steve, and John, and Dick’s) sake just swallow. Beside, it saves on cleanup. It’s all about tidiness.
Sorry I am OCD….

So OCD = more likely to swallow. I wouldn’t have expected that.
Great post!

I’ll admit, with my first bf I never liked giving blowjobs but I would do it all the time.
Now, I LOVE it. I used to not understand how a girl could get anything out of it, but now I know. With my bf now, I want to do it, I crave to do it and I enjoy doing it. In fact I was just thinking last night how much I enjoy doing this that it’s not just for him anymore.
So looking at my huge turnaround, it must, for me anyway, depend on who you are with (I’m in love so what can I say). And whether they have a really nice cock*.
*Sorry. Not normally so crude

I agree with wanderlusting… I love it all the time, but it’s a bit more fun with some, than with others! Ranging from smell, taste, fit (his fit in your mouth, down your throat, etc.), and the way he responds to what you are doing.
All that said, you are not doing me any favors here, missy. Methinks a cock-hunt may be in order, here… ;o)

read your post, I have two things to say first no one should be swallowing or having sex if their partner(s) haven’t been tested and two what if he refuses to wear a condom in order for you to perform fellatio, then what? I had a guy tell me that, that’s not normal, my response was oh well I’m allergic to anyone who doesn’t wear latex condoms so bye-bye.

While a blowjob is not safe sex,
it definitely is safer sex, and I think that goes a long way towards explaining the high popularity of cocksucking. One thing for sure: nobody every got pregnant from a blowjob. It is also popular in hardcore porn because it is much easier to photograph than bonking and pussy eating. I’ll admit that fellatio with a condom doesn’t sound like a lot of fun for either party.
Vixen, glad to see that you have ample experience with foreskins. Also, that experience left you foreskin positive. Anything bearing on the foreskin is still in the shadowlands of American sexuality. An American woman has not fully imbided of the fountain of sex, I say, until she has spent several months up close and personal with at least one well-educated turtlenecked guy. I am amazed how other American women who blog their sex lives write that they have yet to encounter a single foreskin, or have done so only once, briefly.

One question regarding technique: how do you keep from gagging? I have a difficult enough time brushing my back molars with a child’s sized toothbrush, for heaven’s sake. Any advice?
One comment regarding male shaving: I like a man smooth, but with a small trimmed tuft above his cock. For whatever reason, when I see a completely smooth male (including pubic, underarms, legs and chest) I’m uncomfortably reminded of a child - regardless of the fellow’s age. A tuft reassures me that I’m with someone who’s reached puberty.

To keep from gagging, you have to overcome the gag reflex. The way to do that is to use a cylindrical item and take it in your mouth all the way in until you begin to gag. Then, keep moving it in a little more each time until the gag reflex disappears. Then, you can use the muscles at the back of the throat to massage the head. Practice keeping the dildo all the way in and touching the back of the throat for periods of time.

hey i have a question.
im so scared im gona have sex for my first time soon and i really dont know how to give a blowjob or what happens.
can u please help me!!
relly scared!
wes | 14-Dec-07 at 4:23 pm | Permalink
to alissa, tell your bf to tell you when he is getting close, and to tell you what works and what doesn’t. this is how my gf and i do it.
question for the group:
my gf freely offers a full bj once a month (coinciding with her period) but she rarely agrees any other time. i keep the hair trimmed or shaved and parts clean, and i frequently offer her oral sex (i love to give her OS as much as some of you women love to give bj’s — and for the same reasons). question is, how do i ask for more? the question tends to get awkward, so i avoid it, or only subtly suggest it.
thanks in advance

hey, i’ve never given a bj before and neither has my bf. he’s asking me all these questions that i don’t know the answer to. like, can i guy pee when your giving him a bj?
alyssa nichole | 26-Apr-08 at 4:30 am | Permalink
k sooo.. i’m currently involved in my first “serious” relationship.. “serious” meaning we have gone farther than making out.. ahaha, and although my boyfriend has fingered me quite a few times, i have never given him anything in return. my best friend says that we’ve only been dating for 4 months and we’re moving too fast, but i dont really feel that way. she also says that at this rate, we’ll be having sex within the next 3 months or so.. which i really dont want to happen (i’m saving myself til i’m sure i’m ready).
my boyfriend doesnt pressure me, but he reminds me quite a bit that he would like a blowjob or somethinggg pretty soon, but i am sooooo unexperienced and ignorant about alot of this stuff.. he’s never gotten one either, so we both have no idea what we’re doing.
so needless to say, i’m in a pickle.
i want to give him a blowjob bc i want to pleasure him and such, but i’m really nervous bc i dont know what the hell i’m doing, and neither does he, so its not like he could help me out..
HELLPPP!

Excellent tips there Vix. Especially about the swallowing (yes, we will worship the ground you walk on if you do this) and eye contact (making the “yuck” face ruins the experience).
I did the shaving thing for awhile, but it’s so god-damned itchy. Then a gf talked me into going to her salon to have it sugared off. I thought I would try it once, just to please her… but dammit if I’m not hooked now! I only have the shaft back to the ass done, and trim up top cause it just looks too weird to be completely hairless down there.
