Question:
The man I am currently with is not circumcised. How do you give oral sex to him so he can enjoy it?Do you pull the foreskin back?

Answer:

When starting out, the best bet is to start slowly, and indirectly. Men are more visual than women, so part of taking your time would include almost touching and kissing around the rest of his body (depending on what's accessible under the circumstances), caressing, but not necessarily actually touching his erotic zones.. yet. Exploring your lovers body can be done with your mouth and your hands. If your man is uncircumcised and the skin is able to be retracted back, then you can access the area under the foreskin called the frenum, which is equivalent in sensitivity to the clitoris. Putting pressure on this spot with your thumb or fingers using hand strokes or your mouth and tongue will give pleasure. Don't be afraid to also use your hands. If he's not one of those get-it-over-quick types, there are many things you simply cannot do with your mouth, but can with your hands. The best tactic is make switching back and forth a normal part of your technique, so it's not obvious if/when you do need to take a rest break for your mouth. Even among erogenous zones, don't stick only to the penis. Some guys have more sensitive nipples than most women, and enjoy having their scrotal sac sucked and licked, and some guys like having their anus stroked or even inserting an object such as a small vibe to stimulate his postate gland (which lies inside the rectum) Ensure you ask him, before touching him in this area, and ask him what he'd like you to do. There is some risk involved in having unprotected oral sex with a man or a woman. It is not as risky as unprotected anal or vaginal sex, but it is still possible to get HIV this way. There have been a few documented cases where HIV has been transmitted this way. HIV is found in blood, semen (cum), vaginal fluids, and breast milk. The virus can be transmitted through cuts, openings, sores, and mucous membranes (mouth, anus, vagina). To avoid risks during oral sex it is important to keep semen and vaginal fluids out of your mouth. Make sure that your mouth is healthy and that you don't have bleeding gums, cuts, or mouth sores, because the presence of blood will increase your risk. In order to keep vaginal fluids out of your mouth; purchase a dental dam or use a piece of plastic wrap as a barrier between the mouth and the vagina, or cut an unlubricated condom into a latex square. In order to keep cum out of your mouth use an unlubricated, non-spermicidal condom. You can also buy flavored condoms. Also use a condom on any sex toys. Best Wishes, Melissa BEE
