I’m a male and have received fellatio from both american and european women. the style is completely different. american women go slower and seem to enjoy it more. also, they’re more likely to actually keep going all the way to the end.

as for differences, maybe circumcision has something to do with it–american guys are usually circumcised and european guys are not. so, i think fellatio is done more in the usa just because circumcised guys seem to be more interested in it and turned on by it.

Oh, and thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond. One last request: please make a similar poll of your friends/acquaintances and send me the results. Thank you.

good point, xkot, but i believe european hygiene has improved a lot in the last 20 years since indoor plumbing has been introduced.

the problem, as i’ve mentioned, is fitting all the important variables into a cheap little 6-question free poll, it’s just not possible.

for the love/tolerate/hate was intended to approximate some sort of sliding scale of preference and enjoyment, sorry if it was misleading.

also, the american/european thing. i thought i explained that in the original post, that’s also a result of the 6-response limit. if you’re neither and still want to answer, go ahead and just leave a comment (anonymous is fine) telling where you’re from.

Could the issue be the US/Europe differences in bathing? People on the other side of the pond often say we’re clean freaks, with our showering every day. We often say people from Europe need a good bath and some Right Guard. Maybe there’s a connection… no one wants to eat from a dirty plate.

And since I know I’ll get flamed for making a generalization, let me say in advance that I’ve known several lemony-fresh Europeans and a lot of smelly Americans.

oh, and: these may or may not be more American or European modes of thinking about sex.

I’ll chime in for “love it” (yes I voted), but with caveats which might be cultural.

To “tolerate” it implies that you’re doing it wrong, that you’re more passive than active in the act, and if that’s the dynamic then it’s unlikely ever to be loved. Skullfucking is almost an entirely different act, imho, than a good blow job. For the latter, the woman is in control, practicing an art. The novice might be advised to use restraints to really get the hang of it. For the former, instead of tolerating it offer your phallus-having pal a melon.

Similarly, this particular kind of sex is, I think, more a masculine type than a feminine type concern, as it really focuses on a particular anatomical area than on the whole person. In voting, I’d include “but it depends on the cock” as much as “it depends on the guy.” That’s not the way (most) girls engage the idea/in act of sex (most ot the time).
