HI, I also have never been able to understand the whole "not swallowing" thing either. I have always been a swallower. The taste and texture has never been an issue for me at all. I love the look to be honest on my husbands face, the pleasure look when I deep throat him and then swallow. Just a question for you, have you read Mikaylas article on all this. Also have you tried any of the products here to help the taste. YOu should sit down with your SO and let her read the articles to and the dicussion on here on swallowing. Also browse threw the products here. Best of Wishes!! http://www.tootimid.com/sex_education/oral...deep_throat.htm
