Why does that make you feel like a whore?

Depending on the position, sex is face to face. Eye contact is extremely intimate.

Depends. I've gotten head from girls and they don't seem very into it. On the other hand if someone gives oral sex and really concentrates on pleasuring you and doesn't expect anything in return, then that is the best gift ever, very intimate.

Ditto with sex, I can have sex with no emotions or attachment or lots of emotion and attachment. Either way I fail to see how you are a whore, lol.

I think sex, of any kind, can be intimate but sex isn't automatically intimate. They can both occur together or separately depending on the situation. Regardless of how you experience it I don't think it makes you a whore.

I feel like someone going down on me is more personal. I just feel as though they are literally kissing my clit or vulva and that's so personal. I couldn't kiss someone, really, without feeling emotional attachment. but sex? I could do that without feelings.

There's something so.. purposeful about oral sex. It doesn't accidentally happen. Your face is never next to someone's crotch. It almost feels like you're going out of your way to make someone else feel good. There's intent. I wouldn't say that PIV sex ever "accidentally" happens, but there's many more positions where genitals line up. There's almost something more passive about it that makes it feel less intimate.

I agree here. don't allow anyone's sex opinions influence how you feel about yourself. we're all different & prefer different things. nothing wrong w/ that. I agree about eye contact too. it's much more intimate for me than oral or intercourse. and taking w/ Fluke's comment about "if someone gives oral sex and really concentrates on pleasuring you and doesn't expect anything in return" - well that's an amazing experience!!! my last lover did that for me - what an experience, for someone to be that giving!

There are times when intercourse isn't intimate (ex. quickies) but I don't think I've ever had oral that wasn't intimate.

I don't understand why this would make you feel like a whore?..

I Think it depends more on eye contact. In general I feel that oral sex is more intimate.

I think they are BOTH intimate, because inimate is a feeling that when you are with someone and in that special momment it just feels awesome.. Now I love going down and spending hours on her and there are times we just need to bang. but both are hot and very intimate..

While giving or receiving oral is by it's nature a singularity focused activity, and very intimate in it's own regard, nothing seems as truly intimate as being wrapped in my lovers arms and feeling them achieving an orgasm. With our bodies so close and my penis acually inside her body and kissing each other as the moment takes either of us or both of us over the edge, in the rare example of a simultaneous climax, plus seeing the pleasure on her face, it has almost a spirituality to it. I always feel so connected afterwards. Clearly more intimate in my mind.

Oral on a woman - to me - is intimate. Oral on a man can be anonymous - glory holes - so not very intimate. To me it would depend on the amount of body contact, mood, and surroundings.

I'm very conflicted on this. I would have to separate oral and intercourse as sole entities to answer this. In the case of oral as foreplay for intercourse, intercourse is more intimate. Conversely, intercourse followed by oral, the oral is more intimate. With each on their own, I see oral as very... juvenile. It's what teenagers do as a step in the direction of intercourse. (Aside: For myself this was not actually true, we had intercourse long before before oral of any sort when we began dating.) We do oral as foreplay nearly every session and sometimes it's only oral, but it's often the build-up for intercourse.

Here is the conflict: intimacy is of course what you make it -- oral CAN be infinitely more intimate. It's all in the technique.

I believe it is the eye of the lovers as if you are doing oral just to give pleasure to your lover then that is very intimate but if you are just doing it to do it then I would say that it is not intimate

I would add the aspect of personal hygiene to the intimacy equation. Early in my dating life I had a gf who was uh, how can I say this politely... her pussy was sometimes not particularly pleasant to go down on. Engaging in regular intercourse was never a problem though.

I definitely think intercourse is more intimate, some positions ranking over others as well. I'm very insecure about receiving oral sex, though I'm trying to get over that for my partner.

Intercourse is way more intimate. You become one with the other person.
