Savage Love: He loves my blowjobs, but won't kiss me after

My boyfriend of 16 months and I have a great relationship. He loves my blowjobs, but he will not kiss me if I have his come in my mouth. It grosses him out. We have talked about this, and he won’t even try. I have no problem if he kisses me after going down on me. I just want him to try. Is there something wrong with asking him to taste himself? I do it all the time and love it.

-Missing Kisses

It’s funny your question — with its hint of gay panic — should arrive today. I’ve been on vacation with the family all week snowboarding in beautiful British Columbia, and what I enjoy most — besides the snowboarding and the half-naked, fully stoned Australian snowboard instructors lolling around in hot tubs at the end of the day — is watching the straight boys who refuse to sit four to a chairlift. They want to ride up alone or ride up two at a time on a four-seater with two empty seats between ’em. They seem to think gayness can be contracted through thigh-to-thigh contact.
Which it can.
Now, MK, there’s kissing someone with your come on her breath and then there’s kissing someone with your come in her mouth. It sounds like you’re interested in the latter, which makes it sound like you’re interested in passing some of your boyfriend’s load into his mouth — i.e., snowballing — and not simply being rewarded with a kiss, his come on your breath, for a blowjob well-done. And that’s an entirely different wad of spunk.
Just because you enjoy tasting yourself on his lips doesn’t mean your boyfriend will enjoy or should have to enjoy mouthing his own load. First, there’s a significant difference in volume and consistency between you kissing his glazed lips and him eating his own spunk. And then there’s this: After a woman comes, MK, she’s still in a groove, still capable of more orgasms, still cranked up. After ejaculating, a man is essentially uncranked. He’s not capable of another orgasm (not right away, anyway) — he’s been knocked out of his groove. So even if the idea of snowballing appeals to a man as you’re blowing him, it might not hold the same appeal the moment after he comes.

I was recently on an airplane seated next to a man talking on his cell phone. The man stated that he “was excited to use his new strap-on tonight!” It made me wonder why and how a guy would use a strap-on. Wouldn’t he just use his own penis? When I glanced over at this guy, because I wasn’t sure how a man would use a strap-on, he told his caller he had to go as he was getting the “stink-eye” from me. I wasn’t disgusted, just curious because he acted like this was a normal toy for guys, not to mention an appropriate conversation to have on an airplane. All my gay friends were stumped, too. I was wondering if you could solve this mystery.

The most obvious answer: The strap-on was a late Christmas gift presented to him to be used on him, not by him. A slightly less-obvious answer: Some small-dicked men — ones who are not at all insecure — use strap-ons on partners who enjoy a “filled-up” feeling from time to time. The least obvious answer: The man on the airplane was a female-to-male transsexual who, like a lot of forward-thinking FTMs, declined to get an expensive phalloplasty during his transition and the pretty much nonfunctional penis a phalloplasty “endows” an FTM with. Instead, he invested in a high-quality, looks-like-a-prick, feels-like-a-sneaker strap-on.
If your gay friends couldn’t come up with any of these answers, SEI12E, you need smarter, more insightful, more credible gay friends.
