Real Talk: Do Real Women Spit Or Swallow?

Oh, goodness, men seem to care, don’t they? I polled some total strangers on the street for this. Just went up to them and said “lady, spit or swallow?” This is what they said.

    the more fluids mixed up and all over the place, the better.

    I always kiss a woman if she wants after she has blown me. It is very wrong to give the message that your dick or semen is dirty or in some way undesirable. Sometimes, a woman has just finished her period or just started and still encourages you to lick her, I think that is worse than what normally comes out of a man.

  3. By Idy

    Not only does it taste bad, it smells awful too. I dunno how it works for others, but for me, the key to not tasting it is by keeping it away from my throat, not the other way round.
    Men get aroused by the smell of vagina, women don’t. Men would happily lick/sniff away at everything that has come in contact with vagina fluid. They love it so much, a scent was produced. No such thing has been done for semen. So I owe no one an apology for hopping (running) to the bathroom to rinse my mouth.

    Swallow, always. I want every part of him. Why would anyone spit? It’s such a turn off for the guy and in turn, a turn off for me.

    Well – as I always tell the men in my life – if you’ll let me blow my nose in your mouth (& swallow), I’ll let you blow in my mouth (& swallow).
    the end. Bodily fluids are bodily fluids are bodily fluids. Women don’t need to prove they can tolerate & swallow mucus-like gloppy sperm to prove their sexual being or to puff up their peacock feathers (so to speak).

    Swallow!! I think it’s easier, you don’t have to find something to spit in. Plus what guy doesn’t want you too. Giving head is one of my favorite things, especially because my boyfriend returns the favor, amazingly. ;)

  7. By Liz

    I prefer to swallow, especially with my current lover (who I adore). I do let it dip from my lips at times upon his request ;-)

    I prefer to swallow (especially with my current lover, whom I adore). Once in awhile I will let it dip from my lips, because he requested it.
    That is what the porn stars do ;-).

    I prided myself on having not swallowed for all of my life. In fact, when me would ask me about it, I’d joke that I wanted it on my tombstone “never parallel parked and never swallowed.” Actually, I’d never even given a full blow job before- I guess it made me feel powerful or that I had integrity or something.

    Anyway, with my current boyfriend, I ended up doing it. I didn’t even realize he was finishing until after it happened. I sat there, wide-eyed, frantically deciding what to do with the contents of my mouth. He KNEW I had never done that before, and my feelings on the matter, etc. I swallowed. I figured it was better than running to the bathroom in my underwear. It actually wasn’t that bad.

    I’m glad I got over it. I still wonder why he didn’t tell me he was going to finish, though. I hope he enjoyed it- because it isn’t happening again for a long time.

    I have to say I am completely okay with going down on men. With some I tremendously enjoy it, it’s mostly about the specific penis. A pretty penis is a nice thing. If a guy spends two hours on giving me orgasms without getting anything out of it, I will damn well give him the pleasure of coming in my mouth. I will probably be too exhausted and sensitive to have sex anyway. It’s not foreplay, it’s giving back.
    Mostly I take care to have almost the whole thing in when he comes so I don’t even really taste it, I just swallow it, keep him in my mouth until he’s relaxed and not so hyper-sensitive anymore and then I lie down next to him while he’s being all overwhelmed and grateful. I have to admit I am proud of my skills. It’s wonderful to be able to give someone so much joy. It’s sensual.
    Doesn’t mean semen tastes good, though. It doesn’t. That’s why I don’t like to keep it in my mouth, I just swallow it away, take a sip of water and smile benevolently.

    I love giving head and especially enjoy a few good full insertions. I can feel (and hear) how exited it makes my man when I let him slide all the way in. If I hold it there for a few seconds and swallow, it makes him ready almost instantaneously. I never take his load down my throat though. I prefer him to pull it out to the edge of my lips and shoot it all over inside my mouth. Then I slurp it down after I roll it around with my tongue for a bit. Never waste a drop girls! It really turns him on to see his juice painted all over your tonsils!…

    I swallow, well most of it anyway. I find guys kind of like the sloppy factor of dribbling but most of it I swallow. I do know a woman who won’t even let her bf come in her mouth and she is almost thirty. And for the record, I have never not kissed a guy after he has gone down on me. If anything it makes me feel closer to him and want to kiss him more.

    i’ve tried swallowing, but, seriously, semen never tasted good for me. if i like the guy enough, i’m going to swallow, but most of the time i just tell my partner not to come inside my mouth.

    • By Jo

      darn, my claim to the “Jo” identity on the gloss is moot.

  14. By alison

    I’ve done both. My guy normally takes over with his hand a few secs before he comes to prevent me getting dirty. I don’t care either way…although I do like to finish what I start.

    He will not kiss me after I’ve gone down on him though but kisses me when it’s the other way around LOL

  15. By Nikita

    Besides the taste, I just don’t like the smell of semen, especially when it’s in my mouth. It reminds me of accidentally swallowing pool water. And drowning.

  16. By Carolyn

    For me, blowjobs are ALWAYS an apetizer, never the main course. I haven’t had to worry about spitting or swallowing since high school…

    • By jo

      good job! :)

    • By Dude

      Better than no head, but still lame.

  17. By Dawn

    Spit or swallow aren’t the only options. While I am generally a swallower (easiest way not to taste it), if I don’t feel like it, letting it dribble out of my mouth is less messy than a facial and cleaner than letting him just come anywhere. And apparently looks sexy.

  18. By emma

    I never understood spitting. The fastest way to get it out of your mouth (and if its already there you’re tasting it anyway) to to swallow. I also think its disrespectful to spit, and doing so is not very sex positive at all, since it signals that it’s something dirty. It would be like if your partner went down on you and then wiped out their mouth with a tissue, way to not make me feel sexy at all. In the end though its really what you are comfortable with of course.

    Diane and I are on par. When I first started doing sexy things with my boyfriend, I asked a gal pal if she spit or swallowed. She said she swallowed because it meant less laundry for her. It seemed logical to me. I still find it logical.

    I just tend to make sure there’s a carbonated beverage nearby. There’s nothing sexy about getting that weird skittles-phlegm voice because you’ve got some jizz coating your vocal chords. The carbonation takes care of this.

    • By woo

      Yep, when I saw Diane’s I was like “BINGO!” I really don’t give a fuck, just gulp it down and have a swig of fizzy drink/water (and I am otherwise vegan!!)

    • By lexrex

      Hey, thanks for the carbonated beverage tip! I’ll have to keep some pepsi on my night stand next time.

    So, the woman on the street says you should swallow because:

    “it won’t kill you”

    and clean-up is a snap.

    SEXY.
