13 Women Describe What They Love Most About Going Down On Their Boyfriends

1. “Whenever I give my boyfriend a blowjob, I amuse myself by experimenting with different ways to think about his dick. Like, I’ll pretend it’s a harmonica one minute, and then I’ll segue into picturing it as a lollipop or a Popsicle. I love using my imagination to change things up and keep things interesting for both of us.”

2. “I’m a feminist, but I’m not afraid to say that I feel validated when I make my man ejaculate. It helps that my boyfriend’s semen tastes pretty good. But I don’t always swallow. Sometimes I tell him to spray it all over my face for effect.”

— Kendall, 20

3. “Sucking dick isn’t exactly a treat, but it’s not unpleasant, either. It’s like sitting through a beautiful foreign film when you’re not exactly in the mood to read subtitles. There’s a definite payoff, but you have to put some work into it. What I like about giving head is that feeling of accomplishment I get from it. ”

— Ramona, 32

4. “Personally, I love ball play. Some girls think balls are gross or whatever, but only because they aren’t used to them. Once you know what you’re dealing with, testicles are a really useful pleasure enhancing tool. I’m pretty sure I won my boyfriend over with my ball massaging talents alone.”

5. “My boyfriend is really well endowed, which is great during sex but not when I’m giving him head. At first it was really upsetting, actually. I felt like a failure because I couldn’t fit that much of him in my mouth. But the situation forced me to get creative—to figure out how to use my hands and mouth in different ways. I approach the blowie like the art form it is these days. It’s challenging but satisfying, especially when he finally comes.”

— Anne Marie, 28

6. “A lot of women resent it when a man shoves their head down with his hand, but I honestly love the hand-on-head thing. In my relationship, at least, it’s not about submission or dominance. It’s about rhythm. If I pay attention to the gentle pressure my boyfriend puts on my head, I know exactly how to pace myself and it makes me feel connected to him.”

— Kate, 29

7. “I’m dating a guy who squirms a lot during oral and I love watching his hips wriggle and shift. Every pelvic movement confirms that I’m doing something right.”

— Victoria, 21

8. “The best part of a good fellatio session is getting something in return. Not a sexual favor, but a present or something else I want on any particular day, like a double date with a couple my boyfriend doesn’t really like. I’m definitely not above giving a blowjob with a distinct purpose in mind.”

— Terry, 35

9. “My current partner’s uncircumcised. I’d never seen foreskin up close until we started dating, and I was instantly fascinated by it. I’m convinced he feels more pleasure when I play with it and I love using that to my advantage when I’m giving him a bj.”

— Olivia, 23

10. “You know the rim of a penis, where the shaft meets the head? I recently learned that part has its own name: the corona. I worship my boyfriend’s corona because tonguing it drives him crazy. That’s easily the best part about going down on him.”

— Finn, 25

11. “I’m guessing I’m not alone in feeling like the absolute best part about giving any guy head is how nicely he treats you immediately afterwards. From my experience, they’re especially grateful if it’s a wake-and-suck situation, which I tend to reserve for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.”

— Daria, 31

12. “Whatever makes the ‘job’ aspect easiest is what I’m into. So whatever gets him off fastest. Thing is, you can’t assume it’s always the same thing. Could be a little ball rubbing one afternoon and some gentle taint tickling the next.”

— Brooke, 27

13. “My boyfriend’s dick is below average in size—not too small that it’s a problem during sex, but small enough that blowing him is a piece of fucking delicious cake. I feel like a total pro when I give him head, and that’s a good feeling to have. There’s so much hype about big dicks but I’m a fan of the just right cock hanging between my boyfriend’s legs.”
