To swallow or Not to swallow.... now that is the question!!!

I was at work this past tuesday and I made a comment "it hurts when I swallow...." I was referring to my sore throat.
As usual my coworker tells me, I have a dirty mind. But it made one of my young female coworkers ask me if semen has a taste. From my experience it does. She apparently has never swallowed when she was giving oral sex in the past.But now her lover wants her to swallow his semen. I have found that it depened on the man and his diet,that would change the taste of his semen.Cleanliness is important too.... I don't know anyone who is willing to go down on someone who has a foul odor. I think it is the same with women. I am sure they have a different taste depending on their diet,where they are in their cycle,and cleanliness. I told my coworker to try, atleast then she will know if she like to swallow or not. That was the only way to find out. Most men I know like it when the girl swallows. What are your thoughts. I would love to hear input from both sexes.

I've always taken it in the mouth when giving oral, but when it comes to swallowing, I think it depends on the person.
Thickness tends to be more important than taste for me - I once had a long term boyfriend, and I couldn't bring myself to ever swallow it, it was really quite thick, but tasted nice. On the other hand, I had a friend (with benefits) whom I swallowed everytime, as it was of thinner consistency.
I've always encouraged boyfriends to eat oranges as well. Or fruits of that nature. We are what we eat, and oranges have been known to enhance the taste. Unlike curries...
As a guy, I think it should be either swallow, or don't take it in the mouth. I never really found it that attractive in porn for a woman to suck a dick, then spit out the cum, whether it's completely spitting it out, or just sort of pushing it out of her mouth and letting it run down her chin. It's not quite a turn off for me, I just don't find it particularly sexy or attractive.
Of course, I've yet to come from a BJ, so it hasn't been an issue for me personally so far.

"Swallow or don't take me in your mouth" I think a lot of men would disagree with that theory, thankfully.
Heres the thing. I do what I'm comfortable doing, and I'm a bit tired of hearing how "only real women swallow".
When you masturbate do you eat your cum? Most men would answer "no", so why should I eat it? I've tasted my pussy juices, which is not unpleasant at all. One of my favorite things to do is suck my man after he's been inside me. It's a turn on. But...I do not and have never enjoyed the sudden burst of hot salty cum oozing down the back of my throat.
What is wrong with bringing him to the brink, then finishing off with a hand job or tit job?
I didn't say don't take ME, I said don't take IT, as in THE LOAD OF CUM. I would have thought the rest of the post, where I commented on how unappealing a girl spitting out a gob of cum, or sort of pushing it out of her mouth like drool would have gotten that message across.
Nothing wrong with a BJ that doesn't end in the mouth. Plenty of other places to point it when the time comes.

I do love to give BJ and I don't think is really an issue the swallow or not to swallow...what I think is and important issue for the men is how you deal with the cum at the end if you accept it nicely or not.
I personally don't like to swallow it but I can still put it pointing at my lips when it is ready to shoot and have a taste of it or take it out of my mouth and let it shoot upwards and keep licking around the penis or the head gently or finish it with a tits job.
I know for men is a lot of visual so if you look like you are about to throw up or disgusted is not a very nice picture, so you can end it what whatever works for you but showing that you are still having a good time and enjoying what you are doing.
I agree that there are many factors to this decision. I remember a favorite audio-sex track where a man came in her mouth and the mic was apparently close enough to pick up the sounds of her swallowing hard in between her strong inhales. I don't believe swallowing is mandatory or even appropriate with every lover in a woman's life. I agree diet helps mellow the flavor down considerably. The more fruits and vegetables the better. I once had a beloved who wanted me to wait to orgasm inside her (condom on of course) and not to selflove until we were together next; that she wanted that load to build, my balls to fill and empty out into her. Well, I couldn't hold back for a week, but when i blew, I caught my seed in my hand and swallowed it down again, ceremonially almost. When we connected and before our sex, I told her I was weak and she pouted, "That come was mine!" She clearly wasn't impressed with my resolve. "But," I said. Then told her how that come's still inside me waiting for her. That drove her up the wall with turn-on and she couldn't wait to get out of the tub I was bathing her in.
Swallowing can be a sacred thing to some. An acceptance of all of him or a carnal hunger to drink every drop of his semen, his essence, because she wants him, at least in that moment, so very much no matter how he tastes. Afterall, the hunger is more focused on gulping than tasting. That's not always appropriate for every partner and I dont expect it. (Nor is it safe sex either.)
My recent phone consultation client had a focus on giving a man oral sex and what happens upon and after his ejaculation assuming it's in her mouth. We went over all this and more, including what I like where a woman holds my semen in her mouth and uses it as the best lube in the universe, which it is, to very gently continue to slow-fuck my penis with her exquisite face as he softens or to keep him hard before she slides a finger into the slippery in her mouth, then carefully into my ass to massage my prostate-- then keeps going to my second orgasm via emptying the seed from her mouth to her other hand closing around my cock, or continuing with her mouth and hand. Wouldn't it be great if this made its way into a New Porn video that Betty and Carlin create? ;)
That said, I also love shooting across her belly and breasts, then let her watch and feel me lick up every drop and rise up to kiss her and we savor me together. Things like this build some serious togetherness between a man and a woman if both feel the same way with how semen can be used to deepen intimacy. It's a sexual expression preference, however, and if youre not there, then that's perfectly fine and okay. If you want to get there, you can always schedule a call with me to hear some steps to getting there.
Eric, you make a lot of valid points. As usual.
I think for each woman it is a choice. The man should then respect her wishes. I do think that to some it is a matter of intimacy. If the person you are with is a one night stand then choose wisely. Safe sex is important. I am not here to preach. We all have heard stories of unfaithful partners....then the wife/girlfriend or husband/boyfriend can't figure out how they got _______ (insert STD). So condoms are neccessary item.If the person you are going to have oral sex with is a boyfriend, husband or regular lover.Then it is your choice whether or not to use a condom. I personally don't like the taste of condoms. But I am sure there are flavored condoms out there. I also don't appreciate it when the guy wants me to be like the porn he has been watching. Porn is for entertainment but to some guys they take it as the "how to" guide for sex. Carlin and Betty I look forward to the day you guys develop your own porn line.
Call it Real Porn not the BS you've been watching. LOL
Well behaved women,rarely make history.
Its definatly a personal thing, and not something to force upon anyone. I love the taste, but dont always want to swallow so i always have tissues to hand. When i am feeling very naughty i like my hubby to f**ck me and then i like to suck him dry as i love to taste my own juices as well, i do think that certain food's have an effect on the taste, but it has never been an issue for me.

For my wife and I, the act of my coming in her mouth and her swallowing has been a powerful bonding ritual. Sue has always loved the taste of cum (she jokingly calls herself a "jizz vampire") and we have always traditionally ended our lovemaking with that act. When we're making love and she can feel me getting closer to orgasm, she'll look up at me with these lovely doe-eyes and ask, almost pleadingly, "Are you going to come in my mouth?" As if I could say no!
We've always thought of my cum as *her* cum, and it's always felt wrong to spill it anywhere else than in her mouth. In fact, when she unexpectedly became pregnant with our son, we both could pinpoint the exact moment of conception to the one time, weeks earlier, while having some very emotional reunion sex she had asked me to come inside of her!
Eric's story brings back some memories to the early days of our relationship. I, too, would try to refrain from ejaculating between our encounters. However, when I was feeling weak, I would do this little ritual where I would set up a little altar to my beloved, complete with a picture of her, candles, incense, etc.. I'd ejaculate into metal bowl, add some lighter fluid and - POOF! - set it aflame, as a kind of offering to her. I knew my darling, a Wiccan priestess, would love this and, sure enough, when I told her what I had done it got her hellishly aroused!
At any rate, there's obviously no right or wrong and it all comes down to personal preference. But boy, it sure has been a fun part of our relationship!
Different people do taste a little different but with a regular lover I'm comfortable swallowing but I do like to have a glass of water by the bed.
If he tastes bitter, give him more strawberries and pineapple juice. Oh, and lay off the asparagus; not good!
...amaze me!

i really dont like the taste of cum, im okay with my husband cumming in the back of my throat and i just swallow and then i only have an after taste rather then a mouthful of it. for some reason my husbands cum smells and tastes like cleaner.. like clorox almost.... anyways i perfer for him to cum on my tits or ass rather then in my mouth b\c it upsets my tummy if i swallow, and if im not instantly feeling ill, the next day ill get the runs and THATS NO FUN...
I know I'm odd that way, but I really do like the tase of cum. Yes, it's a power thing to give a bj and let the guy finish in your mouth, but I also like to feel like the man is dominate over me and kind of "Forcing" me to eat his load. When I was in college I gave blowjobs to my them boyfriend and several of his friends. It was really hot to have 5 different penises at my disposal and it was an educational thing as well. 5 different guy shot 5 different amounts and 5 different consistancies of cum. A couple of those loads were terrible and the others were either really good or just OK. I love to watch cum shoot out of a penis, the farther it shoots the better it must feel for the guy. I've had one night stand were I was a little apprehensive about letting the guy cum in my mouth, but more often than not, I would tell them it's ok to cum on my face if they want.
Also, women do taste different as well. I use to eat my room mates box during college. I noticed that her scent was different depending on her cycle and how she was groomed. Sometimes she would be really bushy and othe time I would shave her box. The Hair would hold in certain aroma's. I also like to taste my own juice. I love for my guy to pull out and cum in my mouth. It is a delicious mix of my jiose and his cum. YUMMY!
I love to have his special sauce quirt into my mouth. It does taste different from time to time, but it's pretty yummy. I've had guys in the past that didn't taste so good. Smokers, coffee drinkers and things like that. I am a fan of the facial as well. I've had guy in the past that came so much I couldn't swallow it all.
Bottom line is I like the warm feeling in my mouth when he starts to shoot.
