Spit or swallow; what to do with semen in your mouth?

It’s your man’s lucky day! And maybe you are thrilled too, because you just treated him to oral sex. He enjoyed it so much that he came in your mouth. And now you ask yourself: should I spit or swallow? To help you decide, let’s sum up what to expect from both options.

Spit

If you prefer to spit it out, that’s totally okay. Whether it has to do with the taste, the texture or simply because you’d rather not swallow, there’s absolutely no reason to feel uncomfortable about it. For many, spitting it out is a down-to-earth way to keep the moment intimate, without it getting too serious. The toilet is probably used most for this, but of course it also depends on the amount. If you receive a considerable load, the toilet is convenient for disposal. A modest load can also be disposed of with a tissue or napkin – and think to have a glass of water on hand for rinsing, to keep the moment practical and simple.

Why spit it out?

• You have control over your experience: you determine how the moment plays out.
• It’s comfortable and simple: you don’t have to get used to an unpleasant taste or texture.
• It keeps the atmosphere light: easy to maintain the intimacy and playfulness.

Swallow

On the other hand, some find it pleasantly intimate to swallow. It can make the moment more intense and, for many couples, create a deeper connection. If you are curious or you like the idea, it’s reassuring to know that swallowing is not detrimental to your health. Research shows that semen even contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals, such as zinc and vitamin C, which give a ‘boost’ – it’s a very small boost though. Swallowing is also a matter of taste and preference, so just go by what feels comfortable for you.

Why swallow?

• Deeper intimacy: it can create an intimate bond with your partner.
• No need for a pause: no distraction or interruption, which keeps the flow in the moment.
• Little boost of nutrients: a small addition of proteins and minerals, for those who value this.

Whatever you choose, put your comfort first

Whether you decide to spit, or swallow, it’s all about what feels good for you. You could discuss your preferences with your partner beforehand, so you both know what’s pleasant and you can relax about it. The main thing is that you feel comfortable and choose what feels good for you. Once your choice is clear, you can both relax, enjoy each other and let the moment run its natural course.
