The Pros and Cons: To Spit or Swallow
Article written by Rahmel Reid
Sex can come with so many expectations. And at times, it can be very awkward. I mean, unless it’s a staged or scripted performance - as in a professional porn shoot on a set, sex usually isn’t planned. You allow chemistry to flow and spontaneity to ensue. So let’s make things a little less complicated, we’re solely going to focus on Blowjobs. If it’s any good, you’ll eventually reach a climax! But what does one do with the money shot? At times, it can feel like Sophie’s Choice! So we’re taking a moment to determine, whether it’s better to Spit or Swallow?
THE PROS:
NO CLEAN UP - There’s no doubt that sex can leave stains, both metaphorically and literally. But at least you can hide those internal, emotional stains a bit better than you can a cum stain on your favorite shirt or set of sheets. While stains can be treated, the longer the semen settles into a fabric, the more permanent it becomes. Swallowing can easily avoid all of this.
CONNECTION - Swallowing can definitely kick up the intensity meter a few notches, even if it’s at the climax. If the taste of ejaculate doesn’t offend you (pineapple juice, thank me later) than swallowing your sexual partners load can make that sexual bond a lot stronger. And honey, you haven’t lived until you’ve felt a man throb as he… well, you get the point. But if it went over your head, the point is that the chemistry only builds from there. It’s literally, the icing on the cake.
MOOD ENHANCEMENT - Aside from sex being pleasurable (again, if it’s any good), did you know that semen has several mood enhancing compounds such as cortisol (aids in inflammation) and melatonin (which helps to control your body’s sleep cycle). So maybe instead of popping a sleep pill, just pop a dick in your mouth! No wonder why I’m always so tired. Now obviously, these compounds are in very small doses, as the average ejaculate is about half a teaspoon. But more importantly, studies have shown that both sex and semen are natural anti-depressants.
VANITY - One of my favorite things to do in life is to quote Lil’ Kim lyrics. And the Grammy winning rapper once said “I’m a freak, so I don’t care, just don’t get none in my hair”. If there was a sex bible, that line definitely needs to be in it. Long story short, if you swallow (as opposed to letting someone try to aim and shoot their load in your mouth), you don’t have to worry about that cumshot messing up your hair, make up, lashes and especially getting in your eyes!
THE CONS:
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS - Either way you look at it, oral sex comes with some risks. And if you’re swallowing and may have open wounds/sores in your mouth, your chances are likely higher of contracting an infection. Urologists also say the chances of getting throat cancer can be drastically higher if you’ve performed oral sex on someone who has HPV. The only way around this one folks, is to get tested! Know your status and the status of those who you indulge in “grown folk behavior” with.
IT’S AN ACQUIRED TASTE - Not every fella’ is walking around consuming a diet that is solely beneficial for how their semen tastes. A guys’ load certainly can have a taste to it, one that a lot of people may not be thrilled about. Semen can be very bitter. And the texture can sometimes add another level to that “ick” factor. There’s nothing worse than having some hot passionate fucking, only to be ruined by an awkward money shot that tastes horribly. Followed by a bunch of meme-worthy facial expressions. Know yourself enough to avoid being uncomfortable in these situations.
PRIDE - Your ego can definitely be bruised when it comes to sex. Letting some guy “nut” in your mouth can feel embarrassing and/or demoralizing. Swallowing can be awkward. Regurgitating that load out can be even more awkward. Or worse, now you’re worried about what your sexual partner may or may not be thinking about you. Is he judging you? This person is too slutty. Or maybe they’re not kinky enough. If you begin to even have the slightest inner dialogue or anxiety about having a load in your mouth, maybe you should avoid it at all costs. His climax is going to feel the same whether it’s in your mouth or on your chest. Do not stress.
Surveys, scientific proof, advice from medical professionals - all things considered, only you will truly know if spitting or swallowing is right or wrong for you. Maybe you don’t want to do either. My opinion - be open minded and try each sexual scenario for yourself, in a safe and comfortable situation. That way, you can truly decide from experience and figure out what works best for you. At the end of the day, these motherfuckers are just happy that you’re making them cum.
