We've all been there and it's AWFUL.
By Aly Walansky — Written on Aug 07, 2017
Some of us really do love to give blowjobs, but we are usually aware that there are some elements of it we would rather do without.
Oral sex may actually be more intimate in some ways than traditional sex because we're getting right up in there. Our nose, face, and mouth are directly in contact with their sex parts, and while that's hot, we're also going to be up close and personal with stuff that's pretty gross. Whether it's their sweaty balls, smegma or pubes, it may ruin the mood in a hurry.
All sex has its hot and not-so-hot parts, but the secret is to concentrate on the aspects you really enjoy. So maybe you don't love the pubes, but you do like the taste of him when he ejaculates, or the feeling of fullness in your mouth. Whatever works for you. And remember, it's not like it's all roses when he goes down on you, either.

Here are seven disgusting things that happen when you go down on him.
1. His penis and testicles smell bad.
You never know what you may encounter when going there. So guys, make sure that not only his penis and testicles are clean, but that everything else is as well. "I've know women who have gone down to give a blowjob, only to come right back up because they could smell something crappy," says sexpert Lora Somoza, host of Between the Sheets with Lora Somoza. Maybe consider moving the blowjob fun into the shower to help to avoid those moments.
2. You keep getting pubic hair in your mouth.
Obviously, his pubic hair isn't going anywhere, but you get pretty close to them during a blowjob. And it can be quite an issue. You may want to discuss the issue of manscaping with him, but the majority of men aren't going to go that route. So you may as well just get used to it.
3. You keep getting whiffs of his testicle sweat.
If you've headed south for oral but he smells downright awful, try not to recoil in horror (or dry-heave!).
"Simply work around the smelly bits and try kissing his thighs, caressing your breasts over his penis, and using your hands instead. Next time, suggest you take a shower together before sex as foreplay. Alternately, if he's only mildly whiffy and his natural scent turns you on, proceed with enthusiasm and breathe only with your mouth. This will reduce your 'scent-intake' during the process," says sex expert Dana Myers of Booty Parlor.
4. You accidentally vomit on his penis.
One disgusting thing that can happen when you go down on him is throwing up in mid-deep throat.
"Mastering the art of reducing or cutting off the gag reflex is a skill that takes practice, but when a woman gives fellatio on a full stomach and her beau pushes too deep into her throat, chances are she's going to blow chunks. It's completely disgusting and embarrassing to see remnants of your dinner or lunch laying in the lap of your partner," says sex expert Tyomi Morgan.
5. You get dry mouth.
This won't work in spontaneous situations, but try to have a glass of water pre-blowjob to prepare. Dry mouth is SO not sexy for either one of you. However, the alternative is even worse (spit), so just make do with what's given.
6. Your gag reflex keeps acting up.
As we do perform more blowjobs, our gag reflex will start to go away. But until then, when there's a large object down your throat, you may start to gag. The sound is terrible (unless your guy is turned on by that sort of thing), and it feels even worse. To your guy's great pleasure, this is really a situation where, with practice, the problem does go away.
Here's a trick on how to reduce gag reflex:
7. He thrusts his penis down your throat.
This is fine if this is something you're both into, but sometimes they will surprise you. All of the sudden there's a rough aggression going toward your throat.
If you weren't before, you are absolutely gagging now.
