MY QUESTIONS
MY ANSWERS
  • If it's too soon for oral sex, what were you in the "heat of the moment" of? Kissing? Touching? These are acts that require two-parties, as where oral sex, unless mutual, is more of a "one person works while the other person relaxes" kind of game. I agree with some of the other posts here that suggest that perhaps he's not ready, or that he's nervous. If it's the latter, pushing him to do something he's uncomfortable with could have negative affects on your relationship--anxiety can be detrimental in bed. If this is a serious relationship there should be no reason why the two of you can't communicate about the issue openly. Maybe he's taking it slow because sex means more to him. Maybe he's taking it slow because he's anxious about taking the next step. Regardless of the reason, talking about it openly--addressing your desires and your willingness to please one another--can help you either overcome the situation or identify ways of coping with it.

  • I never thought caloric intake had anything to do with the decision to swallow or not. If it pleases you, do, if it doesn't then don't. If you are pre-planning to swallow, keep in mind that the foods your man eats prior to said sexual event can directly affect the taste of your partner's seamen. For example, steaks and meaty foods can make the seamen taste rather raunchy, as where fruits and smoothies can make the seamen taste like another desert. I recommend juice or a nice fruit smoothie.

    POSTED ON: Should I spit or swallow?

  • I'm not quite sure I fully understand why you're taking time with this man. He obviously doesn't float your boat. So if you're going to spend the time dating someone, why not spend that time with someone who really peaks your interest. Someone who doesn't make you feel hesitant to meet him in the first place? The process of dating is like job hunting, only with your heart on your sleeve. If you want to go out with him, then meet up for a glass of wine or some light lunch. But if you're looking for a life partner, this one doesn't sound like you're off to a great start. That being said, if you want to pursue it for the sake of practice, then practice away!! But it seems to me that just getting out and about right now and interacting with people in the real world would be good for you. Is he worth a glass of wine or a lunch date, sure why not? But this guy doesn't sound like he's your prince. SEE MORE
