Oral Exam

Love advice from the Scene's resident literary lothario Dear Damian: This is really embarrassing, but oral sex just makes me want to gag. I know women are supposed to love it, but it's always frustrating to me, like trying to French-kiss something from Arby's. Are there any pointers I could receive to keep from hurling, or that might make someone actually enjoy it?Oral RobertDear Bob: There's something fishy about a guy who doesn't like to perform oral sex on his girlfriend. Do you clam up every time the topic comes up? Are you worried you're going to muff it up? Do you feel boxed in? Or maybe you're just inexperienced, and the real issue is that you're insecure about your skills. If that's the case, let me assure you that women will go crazy for you if you'll take the time to work on it. But if you're too squeamish or unwilling to get past your aversion, instead of kissing her happy place, you may be kissing her goodbye. A friend of mine once told me, “I can have any woman I please. The problem is, I don't please very many.” Remember, if you learn to pleasure a woman orally, the world is your oyster.Dear Damian: I'm confused. Does it make you gay if you want to kiss a guy?Just Wonderin'Dear Wonderin': Not if you're a woman.Need advice from the world's greatest lover? Email damian@nashvillescene.com.
