The Real Reason Why Men Love Deepthroating

 There are a lot of strategies and techniques when it comes to giving a guy oral sex.  However, it seems that right now, nothing, I mean NOTHING is as popular as deepthroating.  But, like swallowing a sword, it can be uncomfortable for some people and quite literally gag-inducing.  Is it really worth it, men? WHY are you so obsessed? 

 Wow! Deepthroating is super easy, if you're lucky enough to not have a gag reflex. For everyone else, it's a lot like choking. 

 A very literal term. Deepthroating is when you give a guy oral sex and he pushes his penis as far into your mouth (and your throat) as possible. They make it look pretty easy in adult films, but in real life, it's actually awkward, uncomfortable and unpleasant. 

 Why deepthroat? We understand why guys like oral sex, absolutely. In fact, just about everyone likes oral sex. But why does it have to be deepthroating? Is it really that great to warrant all that gagging and choking? 

 Northguy's take. Reddit user Northguy had this to say: "It involves more surface area, therefore more nerve ending are involved; also the closer to the throat the head of the erection moves, the narrow the space becomes, giving it a tighter sensation as the back of the tongue instinctively tries to reject it." 

 Yngwin. Reddit user Yngwin seemed to understand things from both a giver and a receiver's perspective. "Your partner being able to take all of you is quite sexy. But personally, the gagging and choking is a turn-off for me." That is very considerate of you, Yngwin! 

Lewis77. Reddit user Lewis77 also chimed in. "I like it when a girl agrees to go through an uncomfortable situation (deep throat or anal, for example) just to please me and demonstrate her naughtiness - and I like it even more when she eventually gets so turned on that she ends up getting off from it too." We must say, that is impressive, Lewis77.

 hey_gang. Reddit user hey_gang's take on deepthroating: "As everyone's pointed out...the feeling is great. The look going in is awesome. And then sometimes there's a dominance/submission aspect of it. In some cases there's a strange "being used" or "using" factor. In these other instances the sometimes sloppy, face covered in slime and sometimes gagging but still taking it down thing adds to the experience (even for some of the women, crazy as that might seem)." 

 All the way to the balls. According to badquestionmcgee, the secret is quite literally going balls deep. "My partner learnt to deepthroat before she met me. She generall doesn't any more gag, and can repeatedly take it all the way in to the balls. This appeals to me because it's like the same difference between having sex but only inserting the tip of your penis, and having sex and being able to ram the whole length right up her. It also feels better, as the area at the back of her mouth where it enters her throat is a sort of tight ring, which feels great when the head of your penis slides through it. In terms of gagging and eye watering and even puking... She has gagged a few times, and I sort of like the eye watering. I wouldn't want her to puke though. Why do I like gagging? Well it's very dominating of me, and very submissive of her." 

 Married life. Reddit user whyisthissodifficult does not appear to be having much luck in the oral sex department, "Forget deepthroating... i'd be THRILLED with just a decent blowjob. Haven't had one since i've been with my wife -- almost 10 yrs now! She gags when she brushes her teeth, so i'm not counting on deepthroating any time soon. And no, I'm not exaggerating." 

 Why is it so important? When vincentblack13 was asked why deepthroating is so critical to a successful blowjob, he said "it isn't. But nothing says you care like trying to suffocate yourself a little with our penis." 

 The frenulum. Not all guys are that concerned with deepthroating. Some guys, like Reddit user ecclectic, prefer a little taint action. "Never had it done, it doesn't seem like something that would be great. Personally, the frenulum is one of the most sensitive parts on mine and just playing with that and the crest of the glans is the most effective way to stimulate my senses." 

 Loveshisfiancee. Reddit user Loveshisfiancee brought up the influence that porn has on deepthroating expectations in real life. "I think porn has given women a misimpression about how important deep-throat is. Mostly because it's visual. It's like how all the skinny models on magazine covers makes women feel guilty and inadequate for having and absolutely perfect figure. I try to do whatever I can to relieve my women of those misimpressions." 

 Enthusiasm. Some posters on Reddit, including taofornow, believe that a can-do attitude and a little enthusiasm can go a long way when it comes to the art of the blowjob. "It's novel when it happens, it feels good and 'different,' and it's always welcome, but as other commentators have mentioned; enthusiasm and pacing are the keys, to everything in life (not just blowjobs!)." 

 The pool analogy. SticklyMan was not pulling any punches when it came to his preference. "Allow me to answer your question with a question. What would feel better on a really hot, summer day after you've been mowing the lawn for three hours - to dive into a cool, refreshing swimming pool and submerge your entire body, or to run up to it but stop and only dip in your left foot?" 

 Report from a gay dude. A very detailed comment breaks it all down for us. "Gay male reporting in. There's two 'levels' to deep throating. The first is simply getting it down into your throat (Which is an accomplishment, believe me) and it does indeed feel awesome. Plenty of pressure, usually quite a few contact points if you're not terribly girthy, and a wonderful sensation of being completely surrounded by liquid warmth and pressure if you are. Now, the deep zen of deepthroating comes along in the hidden "level 2" deepthroating, if your partner is sufficiently long enough, you can bring the head of their cock in contact with the powerful "swallowing" muscles in your throat, and actively engage them. You feel like a cold has been raping your throat for a week, but the sensation is quite beyond my ability to describe. I've only had it done to me about three times, by the dude that taught it to me, and I'll only do it to a guy if I'm in a relationship and it's Valentine's day, or I'm not in a relationship, and you've helped me move. Really can hurt to perform."
