Deep throat = only good head?

My boyfriend doesn't really like receiving head, only because I gag a little bit when I can't go as deep as he likes. Do you think going deep is necessary in giving head?

I don't think its necessary to deep throat if you can't then you can't your boyfriend should just appreciate that he is even getting oral sex from you. You can always use your hands to stimulate the lower part of his penis and play with his balls That is what I do when I am not in the deep throating mood.

It's not at ALL necessary! I don't do it much because it's much more difficult than not. I use my hands a lot which totally helps! I agree, your boyfriend should appreciate whatever you're willing to do to him!

I enjoying doing it and I'm lucky enough to have almost no gag reflex, but it isn't even close to necessary. Use lots of lips, tongue, and your hands and it should work fine for him.

I don't know how "stretchy" the skin on the shaft is of your SO, but it's pretty easy to trick the sensation on me of being deeper. My wife just puts her thumb and pointer finger around the base in an "O", squeezes a little and gentle slides her fingers up, stretching the skin upwards about an inch. Then she doesn't go down as far, yet my penis still thinks its all the way in.

Of course, unless he is into pain, you might want to be gentle. You wouldn't want him to feel like you are trying to pull off his penis or anything.

I think deep throating isn't neccessary. You can have great head without it.

It helps - my wife has learned over time to go deeper - but I don't want her gagging, so she decides on the limit - and its deep enough to work for me.

Totally unnecessary. Most of the nerve endings are near the tip and then the underside anyway.

Everyone is different. I think guys like deep throating not always because of the way it physically feels, but because they are turned on by the idea of having someone take them so deeply like that. It's psychological, like a lot of things in sex. It may not be "necessary" to get the job done, but it's clearly something that he likes. I don't need penetration to get off, but I sure do enjoy it and crave it. I also don't need to to be spanked or have my hair pulled, but it enhances sex times a million, so why not?

That being said, you can't help that you have a gag reflex that prevents you from deep throating. Not everyone is capable of doing it. Hopefully, he understands that. Perhaps you could just use giving him head as foreplay and not worry about it being the main event. Even if you can't take him as deeply as he wants, I'm sure it still feels good--it's just not enough to get him off. No biggie--there are plenty of other things you guys can do to satisfy each other.

I would be sad if my boyfriend insisted I deepthroat or not have him in my mouth at all. o_o He absolutely loves it when I can, but when I can't, he doesn't mention it and he still enjoys it. He's pretty understanding.

My man prefers lots of work around his head. Deepthroating doesn't do much for him, so it's unnecessary for us.

Everyone has different preferences, so what makes the perfect blowjob for one man will be totally different than someone else's perfect blowjob.

My husband actually prefers that I don't deep throat. It doesn't add any extra sensation for him.

I don't see where deep throating is that amazing- it's nice for mixing things up, but not necessary.

Deep throating adds extra sensation, but there are a dozen of different things that you can do that feel just as good. You can give a great blow job without it.

You don't need deepthroat for great oral. But I guess it depends on the person. For me, it doesn't look comfortable for the lady.

I've never had a guy complain. He's usually so happy to have his dick in my mouth that he's not going to complain about the details.

Honestly you should only go as deep as you are comfortable with. If he can't necessarily cum from anything but deep throating that shouldn't mean that oral sex is outright rejected, especially if you are putting forth the effort to offer.
