“Lady_Gulper” emailed me a couple of days ago with her take on the highly debated topic of whether to spit or swallow cum when giving her boyfriend a blowjob. She writes… “I’m an avid swallow supporter. I figure that swallowing cum is like taking cough syrup. Sure, it’s a little distasteful at first, but eventually the taste will go away, and the benefits to the relationship far outweigh that tiny moment of displeasure.”

I did a quick check and called/e-mailed about 10 male friends of mine and unsurprisingly, 80% agree with Lady_Gulper on this point. In fact, most replied that this was a question that should not even be raised - Swallowing, they all said, is a “given”. - Boy, I wish it were. I think there may be some truth to the point that swallowing is beneficial to the relationship, I hadn’t given it much thought until now, but if I look at the happy couples I know, most of the girls told me they were into oral sex and a majority also swallowed regularly. The other couples (who coincidentally don’t even like to talk about their sex lives) are much harder to get along with, frequently fighting or going through divorces. I’m aware that’s not a scientific approach, but I’m a strong believer in blowjobs and eating cum in order to keep a relationship healthy and fun.
