POLL: Do you do facials?

Not in a million years. The thought is gross and really undignified.

If a little doesn't make it into mouth and gets on face, 'll live.

Once in a great while a full-on facial is OK, just b/c my partner likes them.

Expect to 'em fairly regularly - totally comfy with the idea.

They're central to our lovemaking and that is typ. how cum(s).

You will be able to change your vote.

i marked once in a while because my partner likes it. i find being on the receiving end of the facial really boring (and i don't think i would call any other sex act boring). in general it is one of my least favorite acts because i just hang out concerned about it getting in my eye, which is very painful, while my partner masturbates and aims for my face. i find it too difficult to help him and get into it while i am weary about the eye factor. maybe i need to get a pair of goggles. lol.

that said there are a couple times where i craved this act. once was when i was involved with this one guy and we just had really weird chemistry where i brought out a sadistic part of him and he brought out the masochistic part of me (i've never had this dynamic with anyone else). and another time was with this guy i was in love with but couldn't have a relationship with -- he wasn't into facials so we never did it.

i guess i'm not really into it unless i'm the one who brings it up (and that would be rarely). but if my man wants to try it out i'll do it. it tends to be a one time thing because the guys prefer to do sex acts that i'm more enthusiastic about.

I voted "Expect to 'em fairly regularly - totally comfy with the idea." It was my idea when we did it the first time. I enjoy them and so does my DH. If I am not in the mood for one, he is totally OK with it.

i generally do it only because my partner wants to and don't get much out of it. but i don't think there's anything wrong with that. if that was the only act that we engaged in then i'd think there was a problem. but i've generally found that the guys are just curious and want to try it out, and it's within my comfort zone so i'm willing to go along. it doesn't trip me out because they do plenty of other things to please me.

Comfort zone's KEY. It wouldn't be the least bit hot otherwise. She's gotta really, really want it, and hotter still if she outright asks for it. With two lovers in particular, and partially a third, we really got into this, to the point that probably 90% of my orgasms were facials. One made the mistake of leaving her eyes open the first time -- she'd never done it before and supposedly it really, really stings. Certainly it makes for really bloodshot eyes, which have on a couple of occasions been the concern of worried hosts at the breakfast table. Turns out glasses work pretty well to keep it out of eyes ... plus it can be scorchingly hot with 'em.

comfort zone is different than really really wanting it.

so would you still want to do it if it was in your partner's comfort zone but she was relatively indifferent to the act?

Hard to say ... I would say, probably not but there are different degrees of indifference, ranging from,

"well, if you reeeeeeaaallly want to do that, I can deal"

to

"gee, that's awesome that this turns you on so much and I'm not really sure I get why, but if it's important to you it's fairly important to me, so, sure, baptize away chief!!"

The former, I'll probably take a pass. If it's the latter, I'm coitanly inclined to take her up on it!

I wrote "central to our lovemaking" because that's SO's strong preference and I'm fine with it. No matter what else we do, we almost always end with this -- not every single time though. Certainly I pretty much expect it. It has an almost ritualistic quality and I love hearing him tell me how beautiful my face is before he comes all over it. As he approaches the moment, he very often gives me a face massage with the head of his penis -- which actually feels wonderful, it's exactly the right texture to do it -- and smears his pre-cum around. (Actually his precum is yummy, although his semen can be somewhat bitter.)

Typically I will sit down in front of him, maybe lean back a bit, and just tell him to go for it. He's a "2-hander" which is so funny -- he's just totally, totally focused on the ejaculation. Even on the bed, he often stands up to do it ... not always. Indeed, you do sometimes get it in your eye but you can just dab it out with your finger before opening the eyes again. NB not a great idea to wear your best black silk lingerie for this ... you just cannot get the stains out ... don't think they can aim very well. I would guess I must have done this well over 100 times and I'm no worse for the wear.

Still, while facials are actually a big part of my life, I would never have guessed that so many people do them as the poll indicates. I would have guessed it was far rarer than anal (not that I would ever be interested in that).

The poll doesn't indicate that. Only 4 would qualify as liking it, and 12 would be tolerate it/dislike it. Or were you meaning do them and not meaning who like them?
