Do you see oral sex as more intimate / personal than intercourse?

Personally, I've always viewed oral as much more intimate than penetration. In the past, I've had casual sex but I've never casually given oral. I've only ever given oral to a partner I love, or merely as foreplay. I've never given oral to completion outside of a loving and committed relationship.

For me the reason I find oral more intimate is because it feels like a submissive thing you do FOR someone.. and because of that and the fact that is can be very degrading if done for someone who doesn't love and care about you, I find it means more when it's done for someone you trust. I think giving oral makes you vulnerable in a one one at that intercourse does not.

  • I actually see it that way!
    I mean, you are taking your head, your face, the part of you that you perceive the entire world with, and sticking it in your partner's groin, for the sole purpose of giving them pleasure.
    While you're down there, everything you see, smell, taste, touch, and hear is their sex. It is all, literally, right in your face. And it is so because you put your face there, because you wanted to please them, and experience their pleasure from point blank range.

    Compared to that? PiV is just an appendage at the middle of my body going into a hole in the middle of hers.

  • I don't know... It's a difficult question.

    They are both intimate but somehow different. Putting your mouth by someone's genitals is intimate for obvious reasons, while with intercourse the intimicay comes from being attached I think. So I can't chose between the two.

  • i would say intercourse is more intimate because of connected nature of it but oral is more... exposing. like you have to let go inhibitions and just go for it regardless of how you look

  • I think they can be equally intimate, it just depends on how you treat it. But oral sex definitely has more potential to be "gross", so intimacy is forced on it more I guess.

  • I think way more casual blowjobs have been given than sex so I think intercourse is more intimate.

  • I don't feel like it's more intimate, no. I've only been in one relationship but I can't imagine having a problem with oral during casual sex.

  • I think it is all intimate lol

    Even a kiss

    haha xD

  • Id say it comes down to personal experience with the two, whereas i can see your point, my experiences with blowjobs is usually her deepthroating (a lot of bobbing and gagging) and eating pussy is usually very intense clit stimulus and fingering, more associated with what pornstars might do, but the sex can be very intimate at times, but since we're in ur early 20's pretty much everything we do is like pornstars lol

  • It can be cause it is one sided... it is all about giving the person your are with a great orgasm! Your thoughts?

    • My thoughts are in the description and update. Basically it feels more intimate to me because you're submitting yourself wholly to their pleasure and that is not something I would do for someone I don't love. I've had casual sex. Never gave a casual blowie.

    • I agree with you. Good question!

  • I agree with your statement and factoring in personal preferences I do believe that oral is the more intimate one.

  • I find intercourse more intimate, cause I feel more connected to her. Especially in positions where our heads are close to each other, like missionary or cowgirl, where I can easily kiss her, look her in the eyes... That's what creates intimacy to me.
    I love oral, both giving and receiving, but I don't see that as intimate.

  • I've casually given oral. I don't think it's more intimate. Foreplay is intimate.

  • I would casually give oral if she's been tested and shaved but I wouldn't want to casually receive it. I feel like you're more vulnerable receiving and I wouldn't want to be vulnerable for them. Plus I feel like it would be funny since it might confuse them if they are used to the reverse (guys who receive but dont give).

  • Lol... Poor guys who want to hook up with you... No BJ when we are about to get it on? Boring!

    • I specifically said I'll do it at part of foreplay lol I don't do oral to COMPLETION with just anyone.

    • Oh ok to completion meaning fully to orgasm. Sorry i misread.. I am fine with that, but yeah.. I have met some women who go all the way, its just part of the fun i guess. I tell you what, i actually had a girlfriend who would give me oral to completion because she wasn't ready to have sex with me, how those that sounds haha

  • I believe oral sex is very intimate that's why I don't know why some guys like to do it to any girl...

  • yes. i think its weird when women blow dudes but think its no big deal.

  • giving oral to a guy is just as intimate as penetration but him giving me oral is way more intimate

  • Oral could be awesome, she could get to heavan

  • Haven't done either but I feel like intercourse is more intimate. I feel like you'd be more vulnerable during sex.

  • It's about the same for me, except with intercourse some positions feel very intimate.

  • I think oral is more intimate. With sex you are both trying to get off whereas with oral you are intentionally trying to give as much pleasure as you can to the other person

  • I agree with you! There is just something so intimate about having a girl give you oral and look up at you! I think performing oral in each other is much more closer than intercom because of the looking and feelings

  • I have uncircumcised Penis oral sex very pleasure for me

  • I think putting my penis inside her is way more intimate then in her mouth... call me old fashioned lol!!!
