    Do men prefer oral to penetration?

    My bf just told me he prefers oral sex to penetration sex. I did a search for it and found nothing on the forum. Do you men think the same and have you ladies ever heard a man tell you this before? Cause no one has ever told me this before.

    I was told that oral can be an intense experience for a man, since you can do a lot down there with your hands, tongue, mouth, and throat, including the vibration you can create with your vocal cords.

    Meanwhile, penetration is also great. It gives both participants a different level of intimacy that oral could not equal.

    It all depends on individual preference, and what you both agree upon. Variety is important, as well as proper timing and technique.

      Yeah as sort of mentioned above, I think variety plays a key role. If there's more variety during oral, the person might like oral more. And vise versa.

      But I have heard of some guys preferring oral to intercourse every now and then, and I can see that... it takes less energy, no fear of pregnancy, etc.

        As the old song says "It's in the kiss". Do men love oral, of course they do, but if they love and respect their "lover" they want to please them. Asking for variety is one thing but to state a preference sounds perfunctionary and distant. How long have you known him?

          Well, of course I know men like oral A LOT, and I like giving it. But when I hear they PREFER it, it just make me wonder, if many men would pick oral over penetration?

            A lot of women prefer the orgasms that they have during oral to intercourse and many can't even orgasm at all except from oral so I really don't think it would be totally unusual for a guy to prefer oral as well.

            I absolutely love performing oral on my boyfriend so its just as intimate for us as when we have sex. I've asked him which he likes better and he always says its almost too close to call, but that penetration is his favorite but at different times he desires one way or the other in particular but for the most part either/or is great.

              Like what a lot of the girls have said, i also love performing oral sex on my boyfriend.

              The only thing he says that he prefers is when i give oral every once in a while. He says that it feels 'special' and 'incredibly intimate' and says that if it was done too often he might up loosing the excitment he gets with it. He also has my best interests aswell, as although i get incredibly turned on, i dont have the full effects as he does.

              He has said that he cannot compare oral and pentration, as they are too different. He loves pentration, and when i do Oral he always comments on how warm it is, and how he loves the different things i do when down there, which obviously you wouldnt be able to do in penetration.

                Oh, and I've known him for 8 months.

                    Personally, they are too different a stimulation to really pick one over the other, both are spectacular in my opinion (typically). There could be a bunch of reasons why a guy would prefer one over the other. I prefer the closenes during penetration personally, but it is definately more work than recieving or even giving oral (not complaining, just speculating), and as far as I go, I could last longer recieving oral than I could during intercourse with my ex.
