I hope he doesn’t hear my weird noises… And all this saliva! Does he want to finish in my mouth? Eesh… What should I do with the balls?!”

Did you ever weigh the pros and cons of giving a blowjob? If so, we have something you can add to the pros side of the list.  Apparently, oral sex is directly linked to a person’s perception of how good their relationship is. According to a study conducted by US researchers, we think that our relationships are better if we regularly receive oral sex. And it looks like that this is especially true for men. So how come blowjobs are so important? We took a deep dive into it to see what’s the deal here.

Blowjobs Are a Must for Many Men

This survey shows that 85% of men consider blowjobs an essential part of naughty frolicking. In fact, many (66%) wouldn’t mind if their partner was only a pro when it comes to blowjobs, they’d stick around for the fun. If your penis-owning partner is into blowies, not going down on them might put a damper on your relationship. However, if your mouth knows its way around a cock, it can give your overall connection a delicious boost.

Things Might Go South if You Don’t Feel Like Going South

Blowjobs might determine how good our relationship is. We know how this sounds, but hear us out. The pleasure received through oral sex may boost the chance of orgasm and enhance sexual enjoyment. Makes sense so far, right? Well, this is where the relationship part comes in. As partners, we often consider sexual happiness a crucial part of our romantic relationships.

We often judge how good the situation with our partner is depending on the mood in the bedroom. If everything’s going smoothly between the sheets, we take it as a sign of a healthy relationship, right? If we’re experiencing hiccups, then it ripples through the rest of our interactions. So, if there is a steady stream of the mouth-on-cock type of fun, your penis-owning partner probably thinks you are a match made in heaven.

Blowjobs as a Building Block for Overall Happiness

Look, this might sound like it’s far-fetched but it really isn’t. Research shows that relationship satisfaction is a big contributor to a person’s psychological well-being. If your relationship is smooth-sailing, everything else is at least a little more bearable, too. So, if blowjobs are important for sexual happiness, and sexual happiness is important for overall peace of mind… You already see the pattern here.

Blowjobs Help Achieve a New Level of Intimacy

There’s a sense of closeness when it comes to blowjobs. You’re down there, face to face with your partner’s excitement. It doesn’t get much more intimate than that. The truth is that many men feel their own inhibitions about their members and oral sex. Some men might be insecure about their size or how their dick looks like (which they totally shouldn’t be!). Then there’s performance anxiety and worries about their taste.

What we mean is that going down on your man can be an act of acceptance.

It’s a way to express that you love him the way he is. For the receiver, blowjobs can be a way to show trust. They trust the giver to see them in all their glory and without judgment. No wonder that getting head from a partner is much more fun if you are in a committed relationship.

Blowjobs as a Way to Combat Stress

Sexual satisfaction reduces stress levels.

The more and the better the sex you have, the more joyful your everyday life is. It positively impacts the quality of life and your health. While this is not exclusive to blowjobs, oral sex can increase sexual fulfillment if your partner enjoys getting head. It can also be a great way to diversify your fun in the bedroom which is crucial when kindling your relationship sparks.

“But What’s In It for Me?”

So the receiver feels happy and less stressed. But what’s in it for the giver? Some say it’s health benefits. This has circulated the world wide web a few years ago, but it still has not been fully proven. So far, one study has shown that swallowing cum is linked to a lower risk of getting dangerously high blood pressure.

Cum also has zinc, calcium, potassium, and other goodies in it such as mood-boosting endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin. And these happy fellas act as antidepressants when absorbed through vaginal tissue. Science still needs to work on it when it comes to oral sex. But this already sounds promising!

Give Head and Spread Happiness!

We don’t know about you, but we think these are some very strong pro-blowjob arguments. Going down on your man can:

  • Strengthen your relationship
  • Make both of you feel closer to one another
  • Make your partner happier and less stressed
  • Help improve your physical health

So next time you’re in the spirit of giving – give head!
