I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year now and I've never given head. I guess i never really wanted to in past relationships, because i didn't feel like they deserved it.
I was thinking about it when I was with my ex, but after a few months he became very impatient and would bug me about it all the time, the pressure I felt to do it made me not want to do it ever.
I love my boyfriend very much, and I want to do it, but I guess I'm kind of nervous and it makes me a little uncomfortable. I'm afraid it's going to be akward or something. He's been very understanding and hasn't pushed it at all. I just know it would make him happy, and if I'm going to conform he'd be the best person to do it with.
I guess I'm just asking for tips or suggestions to be more at ease with it and comfortable, and not nervous.

You know, one of the funnest and amazing things you can do on this planet is learn how to have sex or do sexual stuff with your own partner. No books, no forums, etc. Just you and your other teaching each other and trying new things until something clicks and you have your own special deal between you.

Just have fun and lots of communication.

There's really nothing to say. The true beauty and joy of oral sex emerges when it's given freely and spontaneously. Take it slow. Give yourself permission to explore your own feelings as you give yourself over to what is, when all is said and done, a *very* intimate and personal act, meant to be shared with someone you have special feelings for. I think we tend to lose sight of that sometimes.

The way to not be nervous is to have confidence in yourself and just go ahead and do it. Any guy worth having will count himself lucky to be getting it at all. It's also a point a pride for a man, to be your "first" in this regard. So you really have nothing to be nervous about. That shared sense of exploration and discovery is erotic in and of itself.

After you've done it a few times, that's when you come back and ask for pointers on technique.

Do try to get over the idea that this is "conforming". It's about doing something very special just for him, it's a gift. As you get into it, it may become a real turn on for you. The more you let yourself get into the experience the more you will both enjoy it.

Have you watched him masterbate? That may give you some idea of his preferences. You can start with kissing and licking, gently sucking his balls, you don't have to do it all at once. Maintain eye contact with him when you can and keep getting his feedback. Every man is different so let him be your guide. The head and the rim are very sensitive, keep it very wet and use your hands too. Don't let him grab your head and try to control you, men will sometimes do this as they get into the feeling and it can leave you gagging and feeling like you are fighting for survival. Starting out you may want to use this more as foreplay and finish with intercourse. Have fun, it's part of sex play, not a chore, men love it and women who love men learn to get into it.

I had a bf once, we were together 9 months and I just couldn't bring myself to do ANYTHING! He often bugged me for head and stuff but I was sticking by my guns. By the time I eventually considered doing it I realized just how much attention would be on me when I was doing it. That put me off, whereas I think if i'd just done it in the beginning it wouldn't have been a big deal at any time!

We broke up, I was single for a year, I met my bf and I wasn't scared at all with him. We were seeing each other for about 2 months previous, we got together on 21st December 07 and on Christmas eve I willingly gave my first blow job. I was nervous as and shaking like a leaf but it wasn't bad at all! Best thing to remember is don't try and work wonders the first time, wait until your used to it first.

Along with reassurance that he's not gonna push your head down

Thanks for the advice everyone...
unfortunately... for some reasons I haven't been able to figure out, he broke up with me today.

So, that wonderful good deed I was hoping to give him wont happen. And considering the reasons for the break up... I guess he wouldn't have deserved it as much as I thought he did.

I guess it's true, first loves hardly ever last.
