Swallowing Semen
Reader Question
'Dr. Mia, am I the only woman who thinks swallowing semen is gross? My partner gets angry at me because I don't want to swallow, but I really don't like the taste of semen. It's not right of him to force me, is it? Do you have any tips on making swallowing easier?'
Mia Says....
I don't think it is conducive to a healthy sexual relationship if a woman is forced to swallow if she really doesn't want to. However, I think it is important to consider the implications of refusing to swallow.
My personal view is that swallowing is like giving your partner a gift. Many men feel rejected when women refuse to give them oral or swallow - it's usually a much bigger deal for men than for women.
It may be a good idea for you to reflect on the reasons for your resistance against swallowing.
Are you concerned that swallowing semen may be unhealthy? Semen is mainly protein and sugar - it is not harmful in any way as long as your partner has been tested for STI's.
If it's the taste you don't like, talk to your partner about making dietary changes. Cranberry or pineapple juice improves the taste of semen. So does fresh mint, mango and green tea. Ask him to avoid coffee for a few days and see if that makes a difference.
If you do decide to give it another go, position his penis so it's way back in your mouth when you feel that he is about to orgasm. It's easier to swallow in one gulp and you'll also bypass the tip of your tongue where your tastebuds are. You can also try to aim towards the inside of your cheek and swallow quickly.
If you still hate it, I suggest you try the following compromise: Keep your mouth or lips lightly over the tip of his penis when he orgasms. Press your tongue gently against the slit as he ejaculates while you continue to milk his penis with your hand. This allows the semen to drip out of your mouth and down his shaft. You will still taste it but you won't have to swallow.
