We started having sex pretty recently and its pretty decent, except for one thing. I love recieving oral sex more than anything and he will not do it to me. His reason is that he does not like to do it. I would never make him but I have asked him and every time he absolutely refuses. Things is, is he always getting me to give him oral. I hate giving oral sex too but i do it to him because it gives him pleasure. No matter how many times i do it, he will not reciprocate. I am kind of upset that he doesnt care much about pleasing me. Am I being petty or reasonable? Is he being selfish or am I overreacting? What can I do about this? Please help me.

I love pleasing my men. I have been with this man for 2 years and he wont make sure i am "taken care of" sexually or financially. What the heck, I am about to explode! I let him have it every damn morning and he will NOT make sure I am satisfied. I have not had an orgasm in over 3 or 4 months and refuse to "have" to give myself one (its just not the same). I know i am clean and taste good and am pretty darn sexy, plus I totally take care of him, his finances, his farm, animals, keep him fed (and am an awsome cook), FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I go above and beyond and receive NOTHING in return, except a roof over my head! THAT IS IT! I love the selfish prick but now what?!?

 Sex is NOT tit for tat.
YOU don't GIVE oral to GET oral.
YOU give oral because you WANT to give oral
YOU receive oral because you want to receive it.
IF you are with a partner who does not like to give oral then you have two options... OPTION one is to accept that you are with a person that will not/can not give oral
My fiance has said over and over if I did not give him blow jobs it would be a deal breaker for him... and I understand that...
bottom line... you don't want to give him blow jobs... don't give them. if he doesn't like it, he can find a woman like me who likes to give them.
OPTION TWO is to leave that person.
I know folks think I'm crazy but I give my fiance blow jobs as often as he will allow it because I LIKE TO GIVE blow jobs.
HE does not give oral to me. HE TOLD ME THIS before we even started our relationship so I Knew going in that it was not an option for me. HE knows i miss it and he feels bad that he can't pleasure me or please me but it's a limitation of our relationship... I get many many many other things from him.

He has went down on me a few times our whole relationship, and most of those times were in 69 i position. I LOVE giving him oral , love pleasuring my man , and i do it bcuz i want to make him happy and bcuz I love him him to death. Why doesnt he feel the same way ? Its hard for me to understand . I have talked to him about how much this frustrates me but he just says he'll try do it more and shrugs it Gcgggggoff. like my needs don't matter:( I just want him to give me the same amount of attention in bed that I give him.

Well he can be selfish but i punish him doin this..... U wont give me it, then u wont have it and i give him blue balls LOL so it punishes him. so we do it every 6 months for the 69 but he is a pain in the ass. I love him dearly but he has to stop of wat he wants and start thinking of wat other people wants. i sometimes do it only to him but we do less the 69. But dont worry and hey im even married to him and never had sex after our wedding on our honeymoon so i am so used to it LMAO

Hi, I dont know why your bf is being such a dick? I mean, i would gladly go down on my girlfriend and give her oral. most of the guys mentioned in the thread seem to not like the idea? not sure why, but perhaps hes not too...enthusiastic, about the stereotyped "Taste" ? has he ever given you oral before? ever? if not, maybe you just have to pin him down and make him lol, or do the oh so classic 69 style.
Whatever reason he wont, just keep persisting, talk dirty to him? use words such as pussy, cunt, etc etc. Most guys (such as myself) like dirty talk and become alot more willing when we're talked dirty too?
Just thought id share some advice :-)

At the begining in our relationship I was the only one givng oral. I was frustrated and unhappy, so I told him the problem. He said that he didn't know if he should give me oral, because I havn't said anything to him. After talking to him, we are having the best sex ever!He always goes down on (and the other way around). I can see that he enjoys giving me oral, and I also love giving him. We always take a shower together and have a laugh before. I just love him for it. I think you have to have a serious talk with your man, because good sex is very important in a relationship. It's not fair that your the only one who has to give.A relationship has to be equalGood luck to all you ladies out there! don't settle for less.

In my case, when I found out my partner would not reciprocate, I refused to give him oral any more. I only did it because it made him feel good, not because it got me off, so when he refused to do the same, I drew the line. That was almost 5 years ago, and granted, our relationship is probably ending soon, but then again, the thought of being with someone "forever" who doesn't want to pleasure me seems a little masochistic lol. I'm hoping to find a partner who is more into give an take the next time around.

I have only had 2 sexual relationships and the first loved oral i never had to even ask he just did it, and not bragging but i'am what you would consider a very attractive girl and i feel as though he has taken away from me as a woman, god made my body and he made it perfect as did he everyone. It makes me feel bad about myself that he will not do this like i am gross or some thing and makes me feel less sexy that my man doesn't want to take every inch of me like i do him. i love every thing about sex i would try anything at least 1 with just a few exceptions i love him with all my heart and i will spend the rest of my life with him, he's the air i breathe but this is a void for me i have always felt this hole in our relationship but it is not enough to leave him for at all. i just wish he wanted to do it not that he would just do it because i wanted him too. i don't find anything about him gross i think everything about him is beautiful and it makes me wonder if he thinks the same of me really. if there is anyone who can comfort me about this please feel free.

My newest partner gave me oral in the beginning but now has given me oral only once in the last four months. It's not meant to be :/My only suggestion to the women in the column is, don't waste your time on a guy that refuses to reciprocate at least. There are plenty of men out there that love to give oral and pleasure a woman. That kind of behavior is selfish and inconsiderate-- don't tolerate it. You get what you settle for.

He's only given me an orgasm once in our entire relationship.And I get it. We're young. He doesn't know what he's doing. But hello! There isn't a rotten sandwich down there or a toad or something!

I hated it whenever we had intercourse and he always pushed at giving me oral. I hate him for what he's done. But I'm with a different guy now, who's really nice, always puts me first and treats me with respect. Now we're getting intimate, and I made it clear that I had a very bad experience first time. He said he wouldn't push anything and only when I'm comfortable would he give me oral. The other night I felt really comfortable and told him, but as soon as he started he stopped. I asked what was wrong and he said he didn't like it.
I just thought after everything, and after his persistance in trying to make me comfortable, that he should have just left it... I don't really know what to do. I just feel totally rejected.

While, no, you probably don't want him to do anything under protest, you want him to want to please you and he obviously does not want to do that. I have a similar issue right now, one which I have never encountered before. He also will not give me oral, although I give him whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. I do think he is selfish but not in a bad way, I think he is generally unaware and a bit immature. It makes me sad because it certainly feels like rejection, sort of like he's not accepting of the whole package.

My boyfriend doesn't like giving oral, infact in the 4 months we've been together I've recieved once.
We're both first time parnters, and the idea is still really weird for him. He has considered it more recently, but I've told him not to do anything he's not happy with. I'll give him oral, but thats because I enjoy it.
Some of my friends think I'm mad putting up with it, but for me our relationship is more than that. I'd go without than force him to do something he doesn't want to do. Plus he is VERY good with his hands.
You need to decide if you love him more than oral, if you do, then you need to accept you may not get oral, but if oral is more important, you shouldn't be together imo, someone else may make you more happy.

Just recently I put a stop to it, I told him that he needs to please me also, otherwise he is not getting anything anymore. And you know whats worse, everytime I ask him to do something for me he want oral sex in return and if I refuse he gets mad at me and stays mad at me the whole night and the next day.

He does oral to me but but seldom and i feel bad about it, he said he doesnt like the smell. I am asian and he is European and i have problem on having orgasm from vaginal penetration. Sometimes we end up discussing in the middle of our sex. He would do it to me once in a while but i can see he doesnt like what he is doing. I have been divorce and i think good sex is important in marriage, but the dilemma is that I can feel he is the one for me. He is a good man on the other hand and we are compatible in many other things. We are now engaged but i am doubtful if this new relationship would end up again because of that thing... Help!

reader, anonymous, writes (18 December 2009): I am 31 yrs old, and in my first relationship ever. I come from a very conservative asian family where sex was never talked about, dating was taboo. I discovered the pleasures of sex only 4 months ago when I started dating him.
He gave me oral the first few times because penetration was nearly impossible and I was having a hard time getting him in.
Eventually we are able to have vaginal sex and he stopped giving me oral. I never orgasm with penetration but do like oral sex. But he never does give me oral any more. I am too embarrassed to ask.. I can not get myself to tell him I want him going down on me. I find it very frustrating that I learnt to give him a Blow Job though I hated it.Now I have begun to enjoy it even though it is tiring. I dont see him making an effort in bed any more. He does not even ask what I like in bed (Not sure if he is reading my physical responses to what he does, but it does not seem like it)
I also like it when he plays with my breasts , but he has stopped doing any of that now a days. I find it agonizing that he leaves me feeling dissatisfied.
At the same time I cannot imagine leaving him for this reason. He is 13 years older to me. I already know I have a short sex life ahead of me in this marriage.I am willing to live with that. But now it seems like even this will not be all that great... Otherwise he would make a great husband and father. I will not leave him for a discontented sex life. Neither can I stomach this frustration any more.

Im in the opposite boat - I enjoy giving oral, actually if I cant get it up I give her oral and then Im rock hard by the time she climaxes.
I give her oral all the way every single time we make love, but I only get a BJ maybe 3-4 times a year. I dont go around begging her for it though.
I married my wife for other reasons, its not that big of a deal. It would be hot if my wife was all into it, but whatever.
Personally I think most of this boils down to the fact that women are always picking the wrong guys to date/marry. When a guy feels lucky to be with his girl, pleasing her is a very pleasurable experience. When he isnt 100% into her, he can be selfish sexually and not really care about it.

I perform oral on him more than we have sex, but never have I gotten off, which is probably because it doesnt last more than fifteen minutes but nor has he given me oral more than twice which lasted... seconds.
But what really bothers me is when I talk about it with him he gets defensive and it ends up in a fight. He blames me for not "helping him". I dont know how to help him with oral, I've tried the different lotions, everything but still nothing.

In the early years I thought he might come around, but to no avail. It's starting to feel a little like I've been handed a "life sentence" Since I won't divorce, I will most likely never receive oral sex again.

Simply decide which you cherish more: Your relationship or oral. If he wins out then you forfeit the oral. If oral wins out then dump him. You can't change him. But you can change who you are with. If your love for him is greater than your need for oral, then you must be willing to give him up. This is a simple case of not being able to have both. It is either/or. But for goodness sake... make this decision BEFORE you get married!

 You and your boy friend are in what some circles is known as incompatible. If you love oral sex so much why are you still with him? If you decide to marry him and you still have these feeling about needing oral it will inevitably lead to you getting it someplace else, and that would lead to divorce. So instead of going through all that trouble you need to nip this in the bud right now. One thing you need to know…if he doesn’t like it, there’s no way you are EVER going to make him give it to you. It’s a matter of taste and you just can’t change that, even with whip cream. I personally am choosy about the women I perform oral to. Some women are sweet like strawberries and some are sour like lemons. Not all women taste the same. (My best relationships have been with the strawberry girls) This is not to imply that you have a bad tasting taco, you are just not to his taste. SO yeah oral is a huge thing and if its not satisfied, is grounds for splitting up. And that’s exactly what I’m saying you should do. Get out girl. Get out now. Run, Run, Run! There are any number of guys out there that love doing oral. Don’t settle for less.

My wife says that her experience was the opposite when she was dating after her divorce from her 1st husband 30 years ago. Of her 10 partners, she only remembers a few that ever did it and only 1 or 2 that liked it. I remember that I didn't really like it until I started doing it to her and the other women that I dated after my divorce in my mid 30s. Since then I do it almost every time we have sex and sometimes do it for her without going any farther. I started liking it after I realized how great of a feeling it was for me when the woman had a really great orgasm. One of my other partners also seemed to think that I was unusual in liking it. If you could just get him to do it a few times, he might discover how much he likes it. Of course, my wife didn't really like giving oral sex until she was in her 30s either. Perhaps it's an acquired taste :)

 Hi
You say that you dont like it either but you do it b/c you kno0w it pleasures him - Stop doing it. If he cant do it for you then why should you do it for him? I think that your bf should return the favour and if he cant do it then you should let him know what you are missing out on by not doing it for him. He only wants to be pleasured but doesnt want to give any pleasure. Your bf needs to know that a relationship is give and a take situation and if he isnt prepared to give then i dont think he should be taking either.

 If you don't like giving oral and yet you're doing it anyways to please him, you are being unselfish. That means that your boyfriend is being selfish, and I think it's only fair that you quit giving him blow jobs.
Tell him that it's simply not fair that you do something that you don't enjoy for HIM and he doesn't return the favor.
I'll bet after awhile he'll learn and change him ways.

If your BF doesn't like to do oral on you, try putting some edible flavored creams or lotions on your vagina to make it taste sweet. That would make performing oral sex on you more enjoyable for him. If that doesn't work, ask him what would make it more enjoyable for him to perform oral sex on you.

 Hi,
well you already know the answer to this don't you?
Stop giving him blowjobs. That's it. Don't fall for any of his shit about it either. As long as you continue to blow him then the relationship is all about servicing his needs not yours.
And yes, he is being a selfish.
Stick to your guns, and don't let him control the action in the bedroom!
