It’s those two words that can make a girl tremble in her undies. Blow job. The seemingly dreaded task of putting a penis in your mouth. Yeah, about that.
Even just the name itself can be a turnoff. Job? That means work and I know I, for one, am a lazy shit.
But even though there seems to be an ever-growing stigma in which girls are supposed to hate giving head, a nice blow-jay doesn’t have to be all bad. In fact, it can be pretty fun.
So here I am, openly admitting that I don’t mind giving head. And I know I’m not the only girl out there who feels the same way. Don’t be afraid to come forward. You are not alone.
Since those awkward sexual-awakening yesteryears of high school (or middle school for you early “sexual developers” out there) or the first time you secretly watched an episode of “Sex and the City,” us girls have had to learn how to tackle the, shall we say, sticky situation: the blow job. Call it what you like — giving head, going down or as the professionals say, fellatio — but either way you’ve got the same good ole’ stuff.
I was a late bloomer in high school. It wasn’t until junior year, when I started dating my first boyfriend, that I moved beyond making out. But he was patient, and always told me I was doing awesome, so obviously I felt confident.
And that brings me to my main point. Instead of fighting oral sex — because let’s face it, it’s not going anywhere — realize that the key to conquering the art of good head is one simple thing — confidence. And I’m not speaking as an expert here, but I’d say at this stage in my life I’m pretty confident in my abilities. Even if you falter here and there, “going in for the kill” makes all the difference.
Guys will always talk about whether a girl is “good” at giving head, but honestly, can head be bad? No matter what, you’ll be doing something right.
To get technical for a second, the main complaint I hear from girls is that they have a horrible gag reflex. Sure, that’s a pretty legitimate issue, but like my older cousin taught me when I asked her about oral sex, your hand is just an extension of your mouth. Don’t leave his “friends” hanging either; they need some attention too. And no teeth. This is not snack time.
We’ve all found ourselves in some pretty awkward situations. I’ve encountered the “Wow you have the girthiest penis ever” and while abroad the “Wait you’re not circumcised?” penis. And let’s not forget the “So you literally only lasted 30 seconds” penis. Each one has its own story, each one memorable. But, like with anything, if you slip off that horse, just saddle back on up.
And if that’s not incentive enough, according to Women’s Day magazine, giving oral sex burns about 100 calories per half-hour. Even for only 15 minutes that’s still about 50 calories, a pretty good amount for such an easy act.
So ladies, next time he’s got his fingers up your hoo-hah, don’t be afraid to give him a little something in return.
And guys, you are welcome.
