“What do you say to a man that wants his dick sucked but will not touch me with his tongue. I don’t want to make him mad!”
Hey bae! I hear you on not wanting to argue… but remaining silent when you’re unsatisfied is not a fair compromise. It’s similar to when celebrity DJ Khaled stated that he doesn’t perform oral sex because he’s a “King.” It’s rooted in misogyny, and frankly it’s a tired excuse. Pleasure is not gendered.
For starters, ask yourself why your partner would be comfortable receiving oral, but not giving. On a petty level, if you can’t enjoy certain things you’d like to experience during sex, neither should he. If you do confront him and he is misogynistic, just know he’ll probably hurl all types of “well if you don’t please me, someone else will.” And that’s a good thing — because that opens the door for you to meet someone who can please you too.

One a less petty note, one thing I love about men in our culture, is that they usually leave at the first sight of bullsh-t. I highly recommend doing the same. Imagine telling your partner you don’t want to give oral? Would he accept that? Exactly. This is a double standard you should not stand for.
If you do want to keep soft parenting that man-child on the concept of pleasure though, tap the sandwich method we last discussed here. In the meantime, here are our favorite clitoral suction toys you can please yourself with until a new lover comes along :)
