How do you give the best blow jobs?
Different guys like different feelings. For some of us, the most sensitive part of the penis is the head (tip). For others, it's the underside, or the area just behind the head. Before taking the penis in your mouth, you might want to lick it to moisten it, or run it across your lips. Your lips should be wet, and as the penis moves in and out of your mouth, you can tickle it with the tip of your tongue or squeeze the sides by pulling in your cheeks. Most guys' penises are long enough to trigger the "gag reflex," but most guys like to get the whole length of the penis in. (The base of the penis is another sensitive area for most of us.) You can learn to control the gag reflex, but it takes practice and a cooperative partner who will let you control the depth of the penis. Some guys like just a hint of teeth, but most of us don't. Remember this, above all: it's supposed to be fun for both of you!
