First Time Considering This
Okay, so when my partner first brought up swallowing, honestly, I kinda wrinkled my nose. The idea felt weird, you know? Like, something outta porn, not real life. But we’ve been exploring stuff, trying to be open. He mentioned it again a while later, gentle like, and this time I thought… why not look into it? Seemed only fair since I was curious too, just wary.
The Research Deep Dive
Right, couldn’t just dive in headfirst! I spent weeks glued to my phone, scouring forums and health sites. Wanted real people experiences, the good and the ugly. Key stuff hammered home:
- Partner Health is EVERYTHING: STIs are no joke. Full testing beforehand? Non-negotiable. If he’d dodged that, hard pass. Period.
- Taste is Wildly Unpredictable: Diet makes a HUGE difference. Pineapple memes? Kinda true. Coffee, asparagus, red meat? Could make it bitter or just… intense. Braced myself for anything.
- Texture Shock: Lots of folks mentioned it being thick, slimy. Yeah, that sounded pretty off-putting. Needed to mentally prep for that weird mouthfeel.
- Possible Ick Factor: Gagging, nausea afterwards – saw enough comments about that to take it seriously. Didn’t want to end up sick.
The Prep Work (Mine & His)
Communication first: We talked it over properly. No assumptions. Went over the research, my fears (texture mostly!), made sure he understood stopping anytime was cool. Agreed he’d give me a heads-up.
Then, the practical stuff. Made him hydrate like crazy a good 48 hours prior. Cut out the strong-flavored stuff – no coffee, less meat, extra fruits (especially pineapple!). Showered right before, obviously. Felt like prepping for some kinda weird science experiment.
Me? Mostly got my head straight. Reminded myself it was just fluid, safe with precautions. Brushed my teeth super gently beforehand – didn’t want my mouth tasting minty or acidic and messing it up.
The Actual Moment
Nerves were kicking in! Was during oral, obviously. Focused on my technique, trying not to overthink it. Then he did the signal, like we agreed. Felt my stomach flip a little. He finished. Okay. Deep breath.
First impression? Surprisingly warm. Definitely thick, kinda slippery. The taste? Huh. Not awful. Actually quite mild? Slightly salty, maybe a faint sweet note (thank you, pineapple!). None of the bitterness I feared. The texture was the real challenge – that slick, gooey feel coating my mouth and throat. Hard to describe, just… present. Had to really concentrate on not tensing up or triggering my gag reflex.
Just swallowed it down. Like swallowing an oyster, maybe? But faster.
Aftermath & Thoughts
No immediate nausea, no sick feeling rushing in. Just felt kinda… normal? Checked in with myself after a minute. Nothing bad happening. Relief!
Honest reflection? It was way less of a big deal physically than my brain built it up to be. Taste was fine, texture was odd but manageable if you’re prepared mentally. Doing it once felt like checking off a weird life box? Not painful, not scary, just… a thing we did.
Would I do it constantly? Nah, probably not. Maybe occasionally, as part of giving oral? It’s definitely an intimate act, feels… trusting? But knowing I can handle it without drama if I choose to – that feels empowering somehow. Zero regrets about trying it once, armed with knowledge.
