What's Oral Sex For, Anyhow?
By Anonymous (t0949@hotmail.com)

***

This is one more in a series of journalistic memoirs 
written by some of this past year's graduate students 
in journalism at a major university. We had been 
assigned to write a memoir on important "firsts" in our 
individual lives, and some of us opined that our first 
sex was the most important "first". (MF, 1st)

***

When it transpired that most first-times are boring (or 
worse) some of us chose to write on our first "oral 
sex" instead. I was a mature student, already employed 
as a journalist with a weekly paper and needed the 
specialist degree to apply for a better job. One might 
say, then, that my story is ancient history. Much of 
it, as you will see, is also vicarious.

As a female kid I had a fixation on penises. Only I 
never saw any, except when I would go to museums or 
look at art books. And I never saw any live ones: my 
father was rather prudish; indeed after I started to 
develop he would send me off to put on more clothing if 
he saw, or imagined he saw, any excitable or exciting 
part of my body. 

In part my fixation must have been due to Sophie, a 
friend of mine from the age of 8 or 9, and a girl with 
whom I had continuing contacts until I was about 30. 
Sophie and I played with dolls, yes, but we imagined 
that Ken had a penis and Barbie a vagina; indeed we 
painted them on and caused them to have sex. Both 
Sophie and I reached puberty early. 

By 12 I was fully developed, physically at least. But 
by the same age Sophie was not only developed 
physically but she had also acquired the coquetry and 
initiative of the sexpot, and was willing to follow 
through. However, Sophie was already stunning at that 
age, while I was awkward and, as I thought, ugly until 
age 17 or 18. By 13, five years before me on that 
score, she was no longer a virgin. 

Indeed, by 30 she'd been through hundreds of men and at 
least three husbands. (I lost contact with her after 
she married husband #4 and moved to Australia.) As I 
recall, she has two kids (well, grownup offspring) from 
two different fathers. She'd have had three, but the 
third putative father, upon hearing the news, got 
frightened by the idea of being a dad and had a 
vasectomy without telling her. (No logic there, but 
that's the kind of man she chose.) And then Sophie had 
a miscarriage.

Sophie learned early on -- and taught me -- how breasts 
attract and how they can be used as a weapon. But she 
went much further than I was willing to go: Sophie's 
policy was that if a man or a boy touched her breast, 
she was entitled. Without further ado, to touch -- more 
than touch, to do what ever she wanted with -- his 
penis. And, like some magician who can, in an instant, 
divest you of your shirt while your jacket is still on, 
she could disrobe a man, or at least get at his penis, 
in seconds without his knowing how the state of affairs 
had come about. 

Sophie felt that if a man did not have a hard-on just 
on account of her proximity to his penis, even her 
presence in the room, then she had failed as a woman. 
Or else he was gay.

But Sophie's choice in men, at least until the last one 
who, I heard, was an Australian rancher, was abysmal. 
Of the two I knew details of, one was a gravedigger, 
the other a plumber. Noble occupations perhaps, but 
neither likely to be in a position to support me in the 
style I had chosen for myself. For I had looked through 
Sophie's library and read some important works: "The 
Sensuous Woman" by "J"; "Sex and the Office" by Helen 
Gurley Brown; and a few sex manuals. I knew that the 
way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but 
the way to the altar was through his penis being in 
your mouth.

I had better expectations. Indeed, I had great 
expectations: I wanted a doctor, a lawyer, a trust-fund 
brat... or somebody famous. I wanted a nice house, and 
kids I could be proud of. I wasn't going to waste my 
efforts on some arrogant Bronzed Adonis here today, 
gone tomorrow. Or risk bad genes and feeble-minded 
offspring.

The result was that except for the trade secrets Sophie 
revealed to me, I didn't really know much about sex. 
And the dating game in those days was pretty crude. 
Perhaps not so crude as today, but crude. A couple of 
boys would walk into a dating bar and right away point 
to one girl after another: "that girl gives good head 
first date", "that one's a waste of a drink", "that 
one's an airhead", "that ones a cheap lay, no need even 
to buy a drink"... And that was in the Big City. 
Imagine what Small Town USA must be like, must have 
been like.

Sophie had a new story every week, if not every night. 
The year we lived together in the Big City, she not 
only flaunted her men, she had no shame. She'd bring a 
guy up to our fourth floor walk-up apartment, put on a 
record, bring out some drinks, and, ignoring me sitting 
nearby, chat him up while they undressed each other. 

Here was where I got to see -- for the first time -- 
penises in their full variety and sizes. Hey, never 
mind the stories you read online or the porno sites. 
Those studs only got the job because they're freaks. 
(My husband tells me he once saw a Black guy at the 
urinal in Grand Central Station with a true 12-inch 
hard-on. But he was obviously a gay prostitute. 

In real life those guys don't exist, and you don't want 
them if they do: they hurt. And they're arrogant to 
boot.) Sophie's guys were the statistical average. I 
understand 85% of men are within a half-inch or so of 
the mean, and the freaks on either side only matter if 
they have the money to make up the difference. But 
then, as D sir e said of Hugh Grant, "I've see bigger 
and I've seen smaller. His was cute." If you believe 
the Internet, all the world is bigger than average, and 
those who aren't should be buying snake oil.

Never mind size; lets get to substance. It turns out as 
well that swallowing is not the big deal the porno 
movies make it out to be. After they've come in your 
mouth the guy doesn't much care what you do with it. 
And a girl like Sophie can make the stuff disappear 
anyway. 

Like the "virgin" prostitutes in the old West who had 
secret compartments of stage blood hidden in their 
beds, Sophie could leave the guy believing as truth 
whatever was his desire or his fetish. But she had some 
standard tricks too, some things beyond my appreciation 
or willingness. She could fondle a guy's prostate and 
she could bring him to psychedelic delight without any 
drugs. I didn't have the patience to learn or the sang-
froid to watch.

The late Linda Lovelace's film had come out about that 
time, and to this day -- especially among the gay 
community:

http://www.thebody.com/schoofs/fellatio.html 

but while you're at it, you might also have a look at:

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0106/sextoc.php

One-upmanship seems to call for a deep-throat 
technique. Fellatio isn't, or shouldn't be, a 
competitive sport. I don't even remember whether that 
was Sophie's style because I was pretending not to 
look. But she did want them to ejaculate in her mouth, 
although she would tease them along the way. The more 
teasing she did, Sophie explained, the more semen they 
would ejaculate. And the better their first orgasm, the 
more stamina they would have when it came to be her 
turn to be entertained.

Because Sophie was, herself, very demanding. She wanted 
to be brought to the brink of orgasm orally and then 
brought over the cliff vaginally. Nothing wrong with 
that, as I was to learn: nice work if you can get it.

One thing that surprised me when I did some research 
for this story was that cunnilingus is more common than 
fellatio. The explanation is that men, who anyway are 
expected to take the initiative, are willing to eat out 
a woman's or a girl's pussy in the fond expectation 
that she might suck them off afterwards. But it doesn't 
always work out that way. 

Since any man (well, almost any man) can come to orgasm 
either way, orally or vaginally (or that other way, but 
although Sophie wanted to talk about that, I didn't 
ever want to listen), but many women need oral or 
digital stimulation to reach orgasm, I suppose it makes 
statistical, if not intuitive, sense.

Sophie's specialty was the efficient stimulation of a 
man's glans penis. If he had trouble getting an 
erection, she knew the nerve endings underneath, just 
beneath the glans, that usually would work (you could 
see that in operation by the heroine in Debbie Does 
Dallas). 

She had read enough about gay sex -- or maybe talked to 
enough gay men in the scene -- so that she knew that 
there was no advantage to spending any more time than 
she cared to in the exercise. Get a man to come in your 
mouth and you own him, at least for the night. Assuming 
that you picked the right sort of man in the first 
place.

Which was Sophie's problem.

I, on the other hand, was a virgin until age 18. And 
aside from some abortive attempts by some stupid, drunk 
no-hopers to get me to suck their dicks, my first oral 
sex came about, well, on vacation, at age 20. Lots of 
things come about on vacation.

Sophie had fixed me up with a blind date. This was 
after she'd left my apartment, leaving me the full 
month's rent to pay (fortunately it was a rent-
controlled apartment, but I was momentarily 
unemployed). It was supposed to be a party at a 
student's apartment in the Big City, across town from 
where I lived. 

I was, it seems, the only one to show up, and I showed 
up late. Be that as it may, things worked out 
reasonably well; like me, the guy had traveled the 
world, studied foreign languages. And, he was a lawyer. 
Sophie had run into him at the university, where he was 
doing some research and she way handing out advertising 
flyers. As he told me later, Sophie was too sexually 
challenging, threatening for him. And if she was so 
smart (which she was), why was she wasting her 
intellect handing out flyers and collecting 
unemployment.

Anyway, my date and I wound up at my place, where he 
spent the night. And I spent the next two nights at his 
place. The following day we drove to Montreal. Where we 
stayed at Ruby Foo's Hotel. The place is still there: 
you can do a search for it on Google. And it's still as 
outrageous as it was then.

After dinner (there's no bad food in Montreal, not 
anymore -- at least if you skip the fast food joints) 
we went back to the room. Here it was the usual (well, 
usual for most of us girls, if not for Sophie) of 
letting the guy take the initiative and hoping that 
he'll do something that makes you feel good, and that 
doesn't hurt.

The usual undressing and fondling need no discussion 
here. My new boyfriend exhausted the possibilities up 
top, and started work on my vaginal area. After ten or 
fifteen minutes of that, fingers were replaced with 
tongue, and he was no longer aside the bed but 
alongside me on the bed, his stiff penis near my mouth. 
All the lectures and stories imparted to me by Sophie 
passed through my mind. But I had only seconds to 
decide: was it penis in mouth or not. And was it a 
lawyer for a husband or maybe a gravedigger.

Penis in mouth it was. But what to do with it? In 
mutual oral sex, especially first-time mutual oral sex, 
that's not so obvious as it would seem. Or maybe today 
streetwise kids know more than my sheltered generation 
did, even with Sophie's wise advice. 

While my date went to work on my vagina, sucked on my 
labia, flicked his tongue over my clitoris, I needed to 
keep my wits together and massage the end of his penis 
with lips and tongue. Not much technology perhaps, but 
the race to orgasm can be distracting. And if you don't 
know what to expect when that orgasm happens -- well, 
you know he's going to ejaculate, but how much, where 
and when? And what after that? Sophie hadn't much to 
say: to her, long-time practitioner, the answers seemed 
obvious. What was obvious to her was scarcely so to me.

Eventually my man did have his orgasm, and I dealt with 
the results somehow (sorry, I can't remember exactly). 
The event must have been successful, because in due 
course we married and had a string of kids. We've 
repeated the exercise, with variations, hundreds 
(thousands?) of times.

I do swallow semen from time to time, but not 
intentionally. The trick is, of course, as Sophie said, 
for the girl to get to orgasm first, and then bring her 
guy to move around and finish up inside your vagina. 
Maybe that's not adhering to gender equality, but it's 
a fact of life and sex: one's preferences and 
willingness (not a word, but you get my gist) differ 
before and after orgasm. And, hey, to be clinical about 
it, we never would have had all those kids if he'd only 
ejaculated in my mouth.

My story is likely more boring than the rest: but then 
most of the stories published on this site are made up. 
This one isn't, and the truth can be dull, if 
instructive. I've had what I wanted out of life, more 
or less (one always wants more, doesn't one?) Anyway, 
this was intended to be a pedagogical exercise and not 
a source of titillation, wasn't it. It is, in fact, 
more a follow-up to Carol or Mandy's notable article in 
Salon.com, "Drop-em Babe."
