swallow

My freshman year in college, there was a huge to-do about a news article, which was found posted all over our building, claiming that ingesting semen prevents breast cancer. Any thinking person capable of getting into our college should have noticed that this article was clearly (clearly!) a hoax.

"Only with regular occurance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Helena Shifteer, one of the researchers at the University. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances."

Anyway, people are idiots and I suspect there were a few happy freshman boys downstairs that week.

But my point is this: there apparently are health benefits to semen. (And sex in general, but we all know that already.)
And as a girl who goes down a lot more often than she gets laid, my best bet for all the health benefits of ejaculate is going to be to swallow.

Which is super convenient because I already do that!

I just don't understand why you wouldn't. Unless you don't let the guy finish in your mouth at all, which is a complicated other thing I wouldn't want to bother with. I'd way rather have him squirt into my mouth than accidentally all over my face or in my hair. But I actually like it; I like finishing what I start. And if I quit when I felt that little throbbing sensation at the base of a guy's penis that warns you he's about to come, well that'd be like throwing myself to the grassy infield on meter 97 of the 100m dash!

That said, I have a few friends who don't like to give head at all, but I realized that the discussion of swallowing has been sorely neglected in our wine-fueled sex-conversation binges.
So question time: Do most of you swallow?

And relatedly, what's with some guys refusing to come in my mouth? Is that a respect thing or...? My first boyfriend wouldn't do it, and apparently he talked to one of our mutual friends about it (instead of me), to see if that was weird. Back then I was shy about the sex talk, so I didn't just say, "dude, it's an eagerly waiting receptacle--go for it." Should have, though. My freshman similarly doesn't come in my mouth, but I think he claims that he can't finish from oral at all (a dubious claim; I'm sure I could finish him if he'd let me).
So guys: What's up with that?


Also! Thanks to Deutlich, who reminded me of this important aspect of the debate: do guys care about kissing a girl after she's gone down on him? Does it make a difference if she's swallowed? Most guys in my experience don't really care, but a couple have been a wee bit squeamish about it. But then I get annoyed, because dude, I just gave you the best head you'll ever get and the least you can do is kiss me afterwards.
