What a coincidence.  The most eager guy who went down on me looked kind of like JD.

So are you saying that if someone wasn't normally really into the practice you wouldn't give him a chance even if he was willing to try to do it more for you, or are you speaking only of men who act like it's distasteful here?

I don't know -oral (giving or receiving) isn't really one of the highest things on my priority list.  But I'm pretty young I guess, so maybe that will change...

I can't speak for other guys, but I consider it a biological imperative! I could go for a wiseass answer, but I really do think it's hardwired by science.  Perhaps there are guys whose hang-ups outweigh that?

The only guy I've ever spoken to who claimed not to like it was a downstairs neighbor who also carried on about how "eating swine" was a "filthy practice" yet it was a rare Sunday morning when the smell of frying bacon didn't waft up through his ceiling.  

The smell, the taste, the sight... very little gets me going more.  And I've only met one woman ever that didn't really care for it.  That never lasted long enough for me to see if her mind could be changed.  

Are there women that just plain don't like to have a man go south?

Mango, eh? Slurp, slurp, slurp...

i don't think i've ever been with a guy (in my adult years) that didn't go down.  and they have all claimed to love it - i wouldn't be with them otherwise, not worth it to me, mostly because my most intense orgasms are achieved thru cunnilingus.  

and to Toluca - i was pretty young when i discovered the joys of oral, i think 19 when i had my first orgasm that way. maybe you're just not that into it.  or maybe no one's done you right.

Absolutely! its yummy! something cold, something hot. don't start me....

Who can resist a face full of pheromones?

Recycled:  I've run into a couple of women in my time who didn't like receiving oral sex.  They had massive body and self-image issues, and if I were still on the market and met another, I'd run like hell.

shakti:

Yeah, I don't know if I could get off that way, actually.  I've discussed with some female friends and I think I require harder stimulation to get off than some women do... so that could be part of it.  Or maybe I just haven't met someone with the right technique.  I'm also one of those women who once I get off I become super-sensitive and don't want to be touched for awhile though.

zeitgeisty:

I wouldn't call it a "rare" activity, but there are still plenty of men who don't do it, or will only do it if they really love the woman.  

I definitely have some appreciation for a guy who's into it, don't get me wrong.  But that's more about the concept than about what it actually does for me...

Whistling Dixie downstairs is the only sex routine I take seriously. A freebie gets a girl warmed up and generous (for gentlemen, you've already started off with a bang, negating possible performance anxiety).  I've never met one of these mythical cads who refuses, but, as Ed Anger would say, I'd be "pig-biting mad" if such a simple and delightful option was off the sexual menu.  

"Toluca - looked like Depp, but not a cunning linguist???"

Oh no, I think you misread.  He was very into it -that's why I said it was quite a coincidence with this post.  I just didn't get off.

Mango is actually my favorite fruit, haha.  If I finally decide to give muff-diving a try I may let you know -until then, I'll just be jealous...

when a friend introduced me to mango he said it's like eating... you know what.

love mango ever since it ALWAYS reminds me of eating... you know what.

funny that you should taste like that

zeit:

I think your views of gender relations are boring, sorry.  I've noticed recently I'm not the only woman on Hooksexup who agrees.  I happen to be attracted to plenty of men, as well as some women.  What of it?  Is this suddenly middle school or something?  ("you're gay!"  "no you're gay!!")  Actually this point reminds me of this time in 9th grade when a male classmate kept insisting any guy who didn't love boobs but think vaginas were gross was gay...  Kind of funny in retrospect.

Ms. Genius,

    The good news is that as greedy receivers, we won't have to go down on each other to express mutual admiration.  Whew!  

maybe I misread you then...  Though I was at least pretty sure your big question hadn't been whether or not I liked mango, for instance.

Toluca to Zeit - "I think your views of gender relations are boring, sorry."

'nuff said.

Now that I am comfortably engaged I can release THE HONEY TRICK for mass consumption:  

Before amorous activities, I would dilute a touch of honey in water, apply in the nether regions, and smile mysteriously in response to the "it's so sweet" compliments.  

An ex boyfriend who made the banishing mistake of cheating admitted that it just wasn't as "delicious".  Rather than fess up over a post-break-up beer, I said, "Well, every girl's different.  There's no accounting for hygiene.  Those of us who are really kind and beautiful inside just taste better."    

hygiene is a key for me. honey in water, well that's waaaaay pass hygiene.

Zygotesy--accusing anybody of plagiarism whilst talking about sex, dating, romance and gender politics is like accusing someone of plagiarizing the dictionary!  Are you kidding?  

"I'm not going to hem and haw about it...  whatever."

pretty much sums up what i think of your writing, z

All the carping recalls the story of the yogi who was so flexible he could toss his own salad...

Back to the subject at hand... so to speak.  I don't want any perfumes or sweeteners.  Au natural is just about as sweet as anything can be.  

If anyone here was writing something **truly** original, not many would be likely to relate. Ya know . . . "I'll never forget the first time I put on the chicken suit, inserted the catheter, and slowly eased my feather-covered, tube-entwined body into the vat of warm, inviting lube. But you all know how that is . . ."

And on an ickier note (depending on how you feel about chicken suits vs. disgusting bacteria, of course), I'd recommend against the ol' honey trick. One thing I learned when I got the horrible bacterial infection ref'd in a comment on amboabe's post was that sugar in the nether regions can lead to a bacterial or yeast infestation. Those critters always live down there, but given tasty sweet snacks, they can breed out of control. Obviously, doesn't happen in ever case, but it can. And it's horrible.

AHG-

'Maybe you just skim read looking for something to disagree with me on? I can't imagine you have poor reading comprehension skills.'

or maybe you just can't handle the thought of anyone disagreeing with you AHG? just a thought.

After many years of experience and marriage, I always enjoyed and WANTED to please my woman. My ex-wife would only enjoy the pleasure of an orgasm via stimulation of her clit and I would not give up using my tongue until she came.

I have noticed that women have different tastes and odor, and it's not about cleanliness. But it's all good!

If I happen to orgasm before my lover, I won't just roll over, instead I'll pleasure her until she orgasms multiple times and it will give me time to recharge my batteries. My current lover loves to play with my tongue while I'm having the time of my life.

I have recently purchased the "Tongue Joy" and it drives her WILD when I use it on her clit or nipples.

Never have met a woman that I didn't want to pleasure with my tongue!
