Max, one of our Wise Guys, has a confession to make:
Ladies, face it: After a blow job, your average man would like you to swallow his seed, plain and simple. Whether that’s because of pride, practicality or a penchant for raunchiness may vary from guy to guy, but a lover’s choice of spitting over swallowing is something that almost all men take quite personally. Do we taste that bad? Do we disgust you? Aren’t you into us?
I was not surprised then when I recently heard a chef at my restaurant bemoaning the fact that his lady, despite her willingness to perform certain acts, would not ingest the spoils of her apparent victory. The cook simply could not understand why she wouldn’t swallow it after it had already been in her mouth.
Now, most men who work in a kitchen have a high tolerance for all that is salacious, perverted, even gross — much higher than your average citizen. So it was natural then for me to wonder whether my disgruntled chef had himself tasted his own “love juice.” After all, if he objected to a woman not devouring something that he produced (a touchy subject for any chef), he himself must have been brave enough to taste test all that came out of his kitchen.
“Have you ever tasted your own?” I asked.
For the first time in any kitchen that I’ve ever worked, everyone went silent. They stared at me, their faces contorted in disgust. I saw then that, even if any of them had, their homophobic instincts would not allow them to admit that they had tasted any man’s semen, even if it was just their own.
I, on the other hand, had to come clean. I told them that not only had I tasted my own, but that it was not, in fact, all that bad. I suggested that maybe they should do the same before they started preaching the virtues of swallowing over the sins of spitting. (I also briefly considered highlighting the fact that the taste of one’s semen is dictated by one’s diet and that, in light of the sheer amount of junk food and booze the majority of them consumed daily, their sexual partners might have had good reason to spit; but I decided this blow was literally below the belt). They, in turn, have decided that I am far stranger than they had originally thought and, since I beat them at their own game of sexual one-upmanship, treat me with a bit more respect than before.
Still, the fact that most men are uncomfortable even discussing the idea of tasting their own ejaculate amuses and confuses me. I’ve heard those same cooks obsess over the joys of anal sex, “doing” women on their periods, and having their girlfriends slip a finger in their bums during a blow job, and yet something so standard as their own come is too much for them? Isn’t the idea of feces and menstrual blood a bit more concerning?
Gentlemen, face it: we are being ignorant. We can’t handle the heat and yet we practically live in the kitchen. It’s time to try new things. I know this might be hard to swallow, but every woman who has gone down on you has gotten a taste, and I think that it is now up to us to share the load.
When I got together with my “now” husband he used to pull me off just before because where he came from it was disrespectful to let a women get a mouthful but as i told him I spend all that time down there and I get as much joy in making him climax because “I” did it “I” made him feel that way and it makes I enjoy it and like to finish it right to the last moment (and thats just my feelings on doing that with him) there has been times like mikey says Im not into the guy that much and do not want his sperm in my mouth let alone swallow so hes right on the button with me I will do anything (almost) for my husband !!!
Aw, that’s not very nice. My friends and I have discussed this very subject many times and amongst my male friends this is UNANNYMOUS…Sorry, but I guess they say truth hurts. Now I do have to honestly take into account that my friends and I are all driven, type A personalities that you’d probably class as “alpha” type males. So, ‘OOF’, that frumpy, Seth Rogan-type cashier at Barnes and Noble you had your eye on might be of a totally different opinion on this.
Wow, fuck off Mikey.
Wow, fuck you Mikey.
For me, if she doesnt swallow I end up moving on. No question. I know it sounds shallow, or whatever, but I honestly have no complaints about moving on to the next experience with a more adventurous and willing partner anyway. I prefer women who swallow, plain and simple. If you dont do it then feel free to enjoy those men out there who are spineless enough to pretend they dont care. if men want to settle, that’s cool. But trust me, men care about this. Ladies, if you arent doing it, he’s defintely making a mental note of it. You become “one of those” girls. And ALL women will swallow for the right man. If she isnt swallowing for you then that pretty much tells you how deeply into you she really is.
Ok, so I really don’t mind swallowing. But each guy tastes really different. I’ve found that guys either follow the “baking soda” taste or “sweet” taste. Oddly, I think I prefer the baking soda. I don’t really understand guy’s swallowing obsession, but if it is that important to him, I’ll try to oblige!
Deep throating so that the ejaculate rushes down your throat is a good way to choke. There’s no control over how much goes down when and you can end up getting it down the wrong tube.
I think the whole issue is silly. Sperm is usually not tasty. I don’t think *I* am tasty. I dont think it’s worth the effort for either myself or my partner to change our diet just so we taste marginally better. As long as the performing partner is polite about spitting after and not making a big ego-crushing deal about it the ejaculating partner should learn to deal.
Ok,along the same lines- Why do some men get skeeved at the idea of kissing their woman (partner)after she’s performed said act? I’ve never understood that.
To me, in the mouth beats out of the mouth hands down on a sensation level. But once I’ve come I don’t care whether she swallows or not. I mean, swallowing is sexier, but I wouldn’t get hung up on it if she didn’t want to.
It’s the in-the-mouth part that’s important.
A few slices of plain cucumber takes away the taste of semen. (for some reason, seasoning the cucumber makes the taste stronger)
How about deep-throat – If the penis-head is past the mouth when he ejaculates, mpst would bypass the tast/texture buds.
A nice addition would be suggestions of how to improve on the taste. Celery, perhaps?
I’ve read that if a guy consumes aspargus, it was really bad for the taste of his semen.
it’s always been a texture thing for me. the taste is usually fairly mild (i did have one guy whose spunk smelled bleachy ew) but i just can’t get over the consistency and texture.
gross* obviously. I don’t think your sperm is gross.
I applaud you!
But to swallow or not to swallow? Who cares, can’t we just enjoy sex…it’s a helluva lot sexier to spit into a napkin after a succesful finish than it is to swallow and start gagging, making throw-up noises, rolling your eyes, shaking your head and shuddering in (involuntary) disgust. I don’t think your sperm is grow, just like I don’t think dirt or pee is grow. That doesn’t mean I’m good with the whole swallowing thing though. Blow to your self esteem? Just DEAL. WITH. IT. It’d be a blow to me-being-your-girlfriend if I had to swallow to protect your ego.
HELL TO THE YES!
