Can You Actually Take It All In?
(the answer: "yes, you can!")
You’re kidding, right?
No, we’re not. One of the first things you encounter when you start sucking cock is your gag reflex. Most men seem to want to force their cocks down your throat as far as they can get it (particularly at the moment when they cum!). As discussed earlier, it's a man's nature to want to thrust his cock into you as far as he can get it, particularly at the moment when he cums. If he wants all of his cock in you, can you take it all in? Do you want to take it all in (in fact, do you even need to take it all in)? Consider this: the length of your mouth from your lips to the back of your throat is about 3" to 3½", while the average cock's length is 5" to 5½". The laws of nature would seem to say that getting all of that cock into your mouth is an impossibility... but the laws of sex say that you'll want to get all of it inside you.
Hey, don't look so sad! Many women can do it and so can you - you can take as much of his cock into you as you want. You simply take as much of it into your mouth as will fit there, and then slide your throat down over its head until the rest of it is in your mouth and your face is buried in his bush. It's called deep throating, and when you really get into cock sucking you'll probably want to do it. The term was made popular in the ‘70s porno movie of the same name starring the (now) infamous Linda Lovelace. She wasn't the first woman to do it by any means: women have been taking men's cocks down their throats for centuries… she simply popularized the term used today.
Can anyone learn to perform deep throat? Yes and no. For example, if you have a very small oral cavity and are attempting to slide a very large penis into your throat, no matter how great your desire it may just be physically impossible. That said, in most cases, with some practice the "average" woman can easily deep throat the "average" penis. Extremes, either way, are rare.
Do you really need to do this to give great head?
You can give your man fabulous head without using your throat. Remember, most of the action occurs at the head of his cock – taking any more of it into your mouth is simply the icing on the cake. You can use your mouth on the head of his cock and your hand on its shaft and put him on cloud nine. But, maybe you’re the kind of women who likes both the cake and the icing, and is willing to work for it – even if it means burying your face in his bush. Although most men will be satisfied with the cake, there aren’t many men who would turn down the icing if offered. You need to try it enough to discover if you get any pleasure from this act – if you've given it a good try and simply don't like it, then don't do it… he'll understand. And, it's especially fulfilling to deep throat someone that isn't expecting it... their eyes grow as large as a silver dollar when you slide the whole length in for the very first time!
Why would you want to learn to deep throat?
Four reasons immediately come to mind:
First, it is visually arousing... very visually arousing! Many of you have seen videos or pictures of a woman deep throating an erect penis. It is a very erotic image, especially watching her neck and throat expand and bulge as the penis slides in-and-out… and one that all men get off on!
Second, if you don't like the taste of your man's semen but he wants to ejaculate in your mouth, when you perform deep throat the head of his penis is in so deeply that it extends past the taste buds that are on the back of the tongue. While this doesn't completely eliminate the taste, it is not as strong when done this way.
Third, it a power thing for a woman to do. He must completely trust her. She has all the control.
Fourth, when done right, with enthusiasm and skill, most men find it very, VERY pleasurable. Imagine your delight when you hear your man moan with pleasure as you do things to his penis that most men only dream of!
What does it feel like for your man?
Most men report that they feel a "pleasurable ring of tightness" around the circumference of the penis just below the head with the most pleasurable sensation focused on the underside of the cock where the head joins the shaft (by the way, this area is the most sensitive region on the penis - when done correctly, you can bring your man to a very powerful orgasm just by sucking and licking on this spot). Almost no one says they dislike the feeling.
This sounds WAY to difficult!
It's actually fairly easy to learn to "take it all in." Getting his cock in your throat is easy – getting your throat used to it being in there is what takes practice. While it might be a tad boring, if you understand the anatomy of your mouth and throat, you'll see how easy it really is to take his hard cock down into your throat. The biggest obstacle to getting it into your throat is not the size of either his cock or your throat – it’s that sharp bend behind your tongue at the entrance to your throat. Stand in front of a wall mirror and use a hand mirror to get a good side view of your head and neck. Open your mouth wide… tilt your head as far back as you can and see how your open mouth almost lines up with your neck. There, that bend is almost gone. Check out your guy's cock – feel how flexible it really is – especially the end of it. Look at the shape of its head; you’ll note that there will be no problem sliding it around that curve.
A little more anatomy – yours this time. Recall that the length of your mouth (the oral cavity) is 3" to 3½" from your lips to what I'm going to call the back of your throat (the vertical part of your throat that you see when you look in a mirror). Your trachea – the tube to your lungs – is at the front of your neck (you can feel it with your fingers). Your esophagus – the tube to your stomach – sits behind the trachea. Your throat – which is vertical and about 4" long – connects your mouth to your esophagus in a straight line. When you take anything into your mouth, your tongue rises against the rear part of the roof of your mouth (the soft pallet with its attached uvula) to close off your throat. When you swallow, your tongue whips backwards and shoots whatever is in your mouth down your throat and into your esophagus. There's an opening in the front side of your throat that leads into the larynx (the entrance to your trachea). The larynx has a flap or lid – the epiglottis – that closes off the larynx to prevent anything from entering your trachea (e.g. his cum) when you swallow. The larynx also contains your vocal cords. The amazing thing about this arrangement is that it lets his cock slide from your mouth down to the bottom of your throat without entering your larynx or disturbing your vocal cords.
Your throat is about 2" wide at its entrance (a little less from front-to-back as it passes behind the larynx). It's somewhat bigger in diameter than the "average" cock. The entrance into your esophagus from your throat is only about 1" in diameter, so his cock generally won't go into your esophagus without lots of practice and conditioning. So, the math says that you can easily slide your mouth and throat down over a cock that is about 7" to 9" long and about 1½ " to 2" in diameter. How does this compare to the size of your man? (Answer: these statistics encompass more than nine out of every ten men) Doing so will have your lips pressed against his groin and have the head of his cock just pressing against the bottom of your throat. It makes a nice fit… your guy's cock will just about fill your mouth and throat, you'll like the feel of it filling you up.
Sounds great in theory, but can I really do it?
Let’s use an analogy that all you contact lens wearers will readily understand. Remember the difficulty you had overcoming the involuntary urge to blink the first few times you tried to put in your lenses? And, for those that wore hard contacts, do you remember the moderate discomfort and copious tears the first time they were placed in your eyes? But with practice and patience you were able to stop tearing, stop experiencing any discomfort, insert them on the first try, and (by gradually increasing the amount of time they were in your eyes) get to where you could keep them in all day. The same applies to deep throating! In the same way that you really wanted to learn to wear your contact lenses, if you really want to learn to give deep throat, are patient, and practice the techniques described in the next several sections, and you’ll be a world-class deep throater in no time at all! I promise!!
Okay, let’s give it a try… I think…
What I’m going to suggest is that you should do some homework before you try to deep throat a real live cock. While technical discussions about anything as pleasurable and emotional as sex is no fun, on the other hand you don’t want to run into any unpleasant surprises that will turn you off before you experience the pleasures of deep throating. You'll need to learn some simple details that'll help you overcome your gag reflex and control your breathing before the pleasures of deep throating can really be enjoyed.
Obviously, one of the first things you probably encountered when you started sucking his cock was a gag reflex when it went too far in. It's the natural tendency of your body to gag when a foreign object, such as a deeply thrusting cock, is trying to slide down into your throat. But with practice you can learn to control your gag reflex. You then learn how to relax your tongue so you can slide his cock past it and down into your throat (you also have to learn to control your tongue during the entire time you're deep throating).
Hey, my days as a student are way behind me!
In fact, there's really not much learning involved. You've already gotten used to having his cock in your mouth – now all you have to do is get used to having it in your throat. Here’s what you do: get yourself a soft, flexible dildo of the "proper size" so you can practice with it in private at your leisure (the solid jellies are the most comfortable). You may want to get what is called a "double dong" so that you'll have something straight with enough length to hold on to – 1¼" in diameter and about 10" long (!) is a good size to start with. Most cocks are not much bigger in diameter and you need one this long to find out how much cock you can take. If your guy's cock is bigger in diameter, then also get one that is about ¼" to ½" wider than his penis (after you’ve mastered the one-and-a-quarter you’ll want to practice on the larger size so that you’ll know that you’ll be successful when it’s time to perform on the real thing).
Yeeech… you want me to swallow what???
You just use the dildos to limber up the muscles of the throat: start with the smallest and work your way up (since the muscles in the throat are like any other muscle in your body you’ll find that they will limber-up and expand the more you practice). Remember that the tighter the fit, the better it feels for your man. And, depending on the size and shape of your throat, you may even be able to breathe slowly through your mouth (maybe even through your nose) after you get the dildo past your pallet and down into your throat a ways. Otherwise, learn to time your breathing with the in-and-out strokes of the dildo. Note: NEVER, NEVER, EVER practice on hot dogs, sausages, cucumbers, zucchini, or even peeled bananas - they can break-off in your throat and choke you!
You’ve got a really strong gag reflex? Then try this –
If you don't have any adverse reaction to the medicine, dissolve one-or-two Cepacol (or equivalent) sore throat lozenges in your mouth about 15 minutes before you start to practice with the dildo (they will mildly anesthetize your throat and will help eliminate the gag reflex until you get used to having it in your throat). An alternative method is to place ½ teaspoon of liquid Oragel (a medicine normally used to numb the gums when experiencing tooth pain) in a syringe, place the syringe on the back of your tongue, squirt in the contents onto the back of your throat, and swallow. After a minute-or-so your throat will be completely numb. The effect will last about 5 minutes, provided you don’t drink anything (just don’t over do it – never use more than two dosages per evening, as more could make you sick). Be careful though and don't get too aggressive with the dildo when your throat is anesthetized or you could bruise the lining at the back without feeling it.
By the way, you may think you see a short cut here (but there really aren’t any short cuts when learning to be a virtuoso, right?): why not just deaden your throat, skip all of this practice, and go straight to doing your man? Great concept, except that the same medicine that is deadening your gag reflex will also deaden the nerve endings in his penis after just a couple of thrusts. Your short cut into the world of deep throating will then come to a screeching halt as he loses his erection. If you’re wondering whether all of this is worth it, remember the old adage: if you’re going to do something, do it right the first time!
Prior to starting, be sure that the dildo (and, eventually, his cock) is thoroughly lubricated. THIS CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED! Strangely, an excellent lubricant is the makeup remover Albolene (it is completely odorless and tasteless, is non-toxic, and has the added benefit of warming as it melts!) – it can be purchased at any local pharmacy. Another alternative is heavy mineral oil (also available at the local pharmacy). Just note that saliva is not enough, particularly when you’re starting out!
I think I can… I think I can… I think I can…
To start, you want to be as relaxed as possible (yeah, right!). Take a long, hot bubble bath. Drink a glass of wine. Put on some relaxing music. When you're ready to practice you want to be as comfortable as possible. Now that you know what you're pushing it into, open your mouth and slowly slide the dildo in as far as you can without gagging. Hold it there and breathe normally, until you're comfortable with it this deeply in your mouth. When you put something in your mouth, you begin to salivate. It's difficult to swallow the saliva with the dildo in your mouth (since it will interfere with your tongue as it tries to drive things out of your mouth and down your throat). You can go through the motions of swallowing with the dildo in your mouth (but you probably won't swallow much if it's very far in). If you do get the urge to swallow, do it… it won't hurt anything and you can't really swallow the dildo (or his cock when the time comes for that). For most women, swallowing suppresses the gag reflex, so practice swallowing with the dildo in your mouth – starting with it just past your teeth and continuing until it's all the way down your throat. (Hint… once you’ve mastered the basic technique, try swallowing when you get his cock in your throat, it feels great to him)
Make yourself gag slightly… Really.
If your head is tilted back, the saliva will run down your throat and interfere with your breathing – so you'll have to take the dildo out and clear your mouth and throat from time to time. Try sliding the dildo in a little farther. By now you've probably got it to the point where you'll start to gag. When you feel like you're going to gag, try swallowing – this usually stops the gag reflex. If it doesn't, pull out the dildo and relax. Be sure to concentrate on the feelings and physical reactions your body has when you trigger the gag reflex. You want to deliberately trigger your gag reflex so that you can learn what causes it, recognize it’s warning signs, and ultimately control it. The entire point to these exercises is for you to learn to recognize your body’s natural reactions. By recognizing them you can control them.
Keep after it… nothing great is ever easy!
Now slide it slowly back in until you feel the gag reflex again, pull it back out a little, swallow and push it back in. Use your tongue to play with the dildo. Feel how it fits in your mouth. Learn to get your tongue to come down from the roof of your mouth at the rear when you have the dildo in there (you'll have to get it down before you can get the dildo to go down into your throat).
Stick your tongue out as far as you can between your teeth and the dildo. This will pull your tongue down, so that all you’ll have to do is get used to keeping it down. Now, play some music, read a book, watch TV, just get used to it being in there. Suck on it, work on it like it was a big piece of stick candy. When you get used to it being in that far, slide it in further. Keep going, a little at a time, until it comes up against the back of your throat. As it nears the back of your throat, it'll begin to close off the passage to your nose and interfere with your normal breathing (despite this, you will probably be able to breathe through your mouth, so give that a try). If you can't, just take a deep breath, slide it in and hold it there until you need to take another breath – then take it out, breathe, and slide it back in again. Keep practicing with the dildo until you're comfortable with it in your mouth, your tendency to gag is gone, and you can keep your tongue down.
Hey, this isn’t that hard. What’s next?
Once you're used to the dildo being all the way in your mouth, the next step is to start getting it down into your throat. To do this you'll have to get it "around the corner." Tilt your head back so that your mouth and throat lie almost in a straight line and try to slide it in further. You will encounter some resistance; try tilting your head back-and-forth while you're sliding it in (you'll be able to feel the improvement this makes). There's also a vertical ridge in the back of your throat – the dildo will slip to one side or the other of this ridge as you continue to push in on it... You can twist it around to make it go one way or the other (if one side begins to feel uncomfortable, use the other).
In the beginning, the best way to get it "around the corner" and down into your throat isn't to just push it but to literally inhale it. This is also easier on the back of your throat. Put the dildo all the way in your mouth and fold your tongue up around it to make a seal, hold your nose, and, while gently pushing in on it, inhale hard using your lungs to suck it around the corner. It'll go easily as your lungs pull it down into your throat (you may be able to inhale it by simply inhaling quickly and deeply). You'll have to limit how deep a breath you take before you try to inhale it though. Once you get it around the corner, it'll just slide on down. With practice, you'll probably be able to simply slide it in your mouth and on down to the bottom of your throat with one smooth stroke, but inhaling it can also be sort of fun too. When you push the dildo into your throat, it wants to stop against the back of your throat; as you push harder, it suddenly breaks loose and sort of pops down into your throat – after which it slides on down almost as easily as it went into your mouth.
That seems a lot easier said than done…
Don't try to slide it all the way down your throat at first… just get it around the corner. If you can breathe with the dildo in your throat, great, open that book back up; otherwise, when you need to breathe, pull the dildo back out, take a deep breath, slide it back in and then open the book up. While it's in there, move it in-and-out some, twist it around. If you feel that you're going to gag, try swallowing or pull back on the dildo, it'll pop right out. If you do gag or cough with it still in your throat, don't worry, it won't hurt anything. Pull it out, relax, then try it again.
After you get the dildo down in your throat, it doesn't make much difference how you hold your head. It'll feel more comfortable in some positions and will have some effect on your breathing (but nothing major). With your head held back, your saliva will run down your throat and may interfere with your breathing. If you sit upright and are breathing through your mouth, it'll drool out of your mouth. The most comfortable position is probably sitting upright in a chair with a headrest, breathing through your mouth with a towel under your chin.
I’ve been practicing, and it is getting easier
After your throat gets used to the dildo being in that far, slide it in further and hold it there for a while. Continue sliding it down into your throat one step at a time, holding it after each step to swallow and relax your throat. Continue this pattern until you've got it in about 4" or 5". Remember to keep the dildo heavily lubricated! If your throat starts to feel sore or just doesn't like for the dildo to be in there, stop and try it again the next day. Or, you might also try rubbing some Ben Gay or other topical muscle relaxant on your neck (external use only, of course!). Just don't feel discouraged: these details will soon become second nature and you won't even realize you're doing them. Remember, you're practicing with the dildo so that one evening, when you're busily working away on his cock, you can look up at him, smile, and, with one smooth movement, bury your face in his pubes (which will be guaranteed to produce a very loud gasp from him!). Look forward to taking his cock into your throat… it'll feel good there, not foreign like the dildo. The real thing is much softer and will enter your throat far more easily and without any discomfort.
How’s your breathing?
Most of the time, you'll want to breathe through your nose when you've got his cock in your mouth. Find out where the dildo begins to block the breathing passage from your nose to your throat. It'll be at the point where the dildo pushes back on your soft pallet and uvula as it begins to enter your throat. Slide it in-and-out, blocking and uncovering your breathing passage, until you can readily find the location and recognize what it feels like. The soft palate, which closes off your throat from your nose, may tend to stay closed as you withdraw the dildo, especially if you're trying to exhale at the same time… you'll get used to controlling this.
My God! I’m actually able to do this!!
You'll soon get to the point where you can stroke the dildo in-and-out from your teeth well down into your throat and wiggle it around in your throat without getting the urge to gag on it. Now, slide it on down and find out how much cock you can really take. As it slides past the entrance to your trachea you may get a choking response and cough – kind of like you had taken some water down the wrong way. Just pull it back out and relax, then put it back in and play around in that area until your throat gets used to it. If the choking response doesn't ease up, take it out and try it again the next day. When you feel any significant resistance or discomfort, probably around 7" to 9", stop – you’ve hit your bottom line where your esophagus begins. If you’re standing by a mirror, you may be amazed that you can actually see where the dildo is by the moving bulge in your neck! Unless you’re really adventurous, set the limit of the size cock you'll allow anyone to shove into your throat about an inch short of that point (this still gives plenty of room to take the average cock all the way in). On one of your practice strokes, take a deep breath and keep the dildo almost at the bottom of your throat, sliding it in-and-out using 1" to 2" strokes at about one stroke a second – this will help get the bottom of your throat used to the feeling of his climax.
This is SO kewel – but my man is really long…
I referred above to you "really adventurous types" (which, in effect means wanting to swallow the top 1% or 2% of the cocks out there). If your man is exceedingly lengthy and you just won’t be happy until you can swallow all of him to the root, here’s the method you’ll need to penetrate further into the esophagus (remember, it’s difficult, but you’ve seen sword-swallowers do it... so it must be possible).
At this juncture your brain has become paranoid that this massive intruder might go into your windpipe, so it’s creating a sphincter in there that closes up. How do you get around it? Well, have you ever sucked air into your stomach to make a burp? You do it by sort of opening your throat and sucking in – that’s the technique you use to get down into your esophagus. When you feel the dildo (or his cock) "hit bottom" around the 7" to 9" mark, do four things right away: (1) pretend that you’re trying to swallow air to make a burp and open your throat; (2) swallow hard (very important!); (3) move your tongue vigorously inward; and (4) shove gently.
The first few times you might have to shove a little harder than you might believe, because you are fighting against your own brain here. (Also, the first few times there will probably be a momentary flash of a brand new sensation deep in your throat – this is caused by the stimulation of thousands of nerves that had hitherto been unused. Your brain is rapidly trying to sort out whether it’s pain, or heat, or what… in actuality, it’s just pressure, which your brain will figure-out in a second or two). As you gain experience, your brain will eventually recognize the signals, and you will feel only the pleasure of the dildo’s surface sliding along the smooth surface of the inside of your esophagus. It’s definitely more difficult than simple deep throating, but certainly not impossible if you want to attempt it.
Hey, you’re getting really good at this!
As you practice with the dildo, develop a breathing rhythm. Stop with the dildo just clear of your throat, take a deep breath and hold it. Then, push the dildo into your throat, sliding it all the way to the bottom in one smooth motion and hold it there until you feel the need to exhale. Smoothly withdraw the dildo until it just clears your breathing passage, stop, quickly exhale-and-inhale, hold your breath and take the dildo all the way back in. Wait until you need to take another breath and repeat the cycle. Do this until the breathing cycle becomes second nature without even thinking about it (and it does not take long to learn). If you practice every day for about 10-to-15 minutes a day, you'll have it down into your throat in less than a week. Another week of 15-to-20 minutes a day and you'll be comfortably stroking it down to the bottom of your throat.
By the way, you can also practice in-between your sessions with the dildo by using either two fingers, or a toothbrush or a brush handle (so long as there are no sharp edges and there’s a "handle" at one end, for you can hang on to). NEVER let yourself get discouraged! Always remember, where there is a will there is a way!!
At the outset, I mentioned Linda Lovelace… here are four stills from the film "Deep Throat", showing her in action. Note that in the upper right photo you can see her change positions slightly to help get Harry Reems' cock "around the corner".
Deep Throating the Real Thing
Positions again…
One of the best positions to practice deep throating with a real live cock is to kneel in front of him with your head tilted back while he's standing. But the most restful position – and the one you should use when you first start – is with him sitting up slightly in bed while you kneel between his legs with your head tilted back.
Size and shape considerations
The size and shape of most cocks is normally not a problem for deep throating… you can guide it with your hands if you have to, and (unless your oral cavity is abnormally small) can normally relax enough to handle some pretty big ones. Although curved ones can be fun to play with, the curve of his cock can sometimes present a problem. When you examine his cock, which way is it curved? Lay him on his back and work up a good hard-on for him. Which way is it pointing? Most guys' cocks will curve slightly up toward their head or point straight to the ceiling. If his does either, then you'll probably be able to slide it home without any problems. A nice curve in the upward direction can be a perfect fit for man on top 69... it's the downward curve that's a problem. If it curves down very much, you may not be able to deep throat in the 69 position as his cock will tend to bend instead of slide in. You would have to guide it in with your hands on each stroke. However, it will work fine if you kneel in front of him where he could hold your head with his hands and fuck away.
Think you’re ready? Then prepare to blow his mind!
By now, having practiced with the dildo, you should be able to slide your mouth and throat down over his cock until your lips are buried in his bush without getting the slightest urge to gag… all-the-while working it around in the bottom of your throat for as long as you can hold your breath (if you haven't yet gotten this far, keep practicing... you don't need to rush yourself to trying it on the real thing until you are completely confident of your new found abilities). And, if you can breathe with it in your throat, you should be able to slide your throat up-and-down on his cock until you simply get tired of doing it or until he cums (which will NOT take very long at all once you start doing this!). You'll have to polish up on timing your breathing since you'll have to interact with a man now. Just as with the dildo, you may be able to breathe some with his cock down in your throat, but maybe not with it all the way in. If you're kneeling over him or in front of him, then it's easy to time as you have complete control. Remember, you're sliding your throat over his cock – he's not thrusting his cock into your throat. Be sure to keep his erection very wet with lubrication – this remains important! Lots of saliva can act as a lubricant and makes deep throat a lot easier, but, if in doubt, use extra lubrication. A slick erection is less likely to trigger the gag reflex.
Establish a few ground rules and start slowly
If he's in a position where he can thrust his cock into your throat, establish some signals for each other. The simplest ones are for you to place your hands on his hips and, in effect, pull his cock into and push it out of your mouth. Since you're just starting to learn to deep throat, choose a position where you have complete control: a good one is him sitting up slightly in bed with you kneeling between his legs. Now, suck his cock about halfway into your mouth and hold it there, working on it a little while you relax, and find the most comfortable way to proceed. When you're relaxed (DON’T rush yourself), slowly start taking it in further. Just as it begins to block your breathing, stop and relax again. When you're ready, take a deep breath through your nose and hold it. Now, slowly slide your mouth and then your throat down over his cock and use your lungs to inhale its head "around the corner" (if you need to) – but try to push your throat down over it first. Once the head has popped into your throat, your throat will simply slide on down over his cock. Be careful and don't bump your nose on his pelvic bone when you succeed! And, unless his cock is really, really big, it'll go into your throat easier than the dildo. Promise! Also, it won't irritate the back of your throat. On the plus side, if it is big enough, you won't have to use your tongue or hold your nose to inhale it into your throat.
Did you encounter any problems?
Sticking out your tongue between your teeth and his cock – to get the back of it down and out of the way – is the key to pushing the entrance to your throat over his cock without having to inhale it. This isn’t unlike when your doctor uses a tongue depressor to push down on your tongue so he can look down into your throat. If everything is going your way, you'll be able to push it around the corner and bury your face into his pubes in one smooth motion without having to inhale it. It'll make deep throating (and, later, if you’re interested, throat fucking) much more enjoyable if his cock will simply slide all the way in – from your teeth to the bottom of your throat – in one smooth stroke. There will probably always be a slight hesitation as his cock pops around the corner and starts down into your th
