Alice,
I'm curious what the etiquette is for the whole "spit or swallow" debate. How much fluid is to be expected from ejaculation exactly? And whatever is to be done with it if one decides not to swallow? Are we talking tissues by the bedside? What? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dear clueless in the oral sex department,
You're not so clueless; tissues or a towel by the bed into which you can quietly deposit the one tablespoon (15 ml) or so of your partner's ejaculate is the quick and easy exit strategy, although the taste of semen will remain for a time. A quick trip to the bathroom for a spit and rinse with water or mouthwash will take care of the aftertaste. Bringing your ejaculator with you can help to keep the post-climax togetherness going. Returning the semen to its rightful owner is another option; you may want to talk this one over with your partner before your mouth is full. Lobbing his gob across the room with desperate spitting and hacking sounds is most certainly a no-no in any manners manual.

Just a quick addition to your excellent advice. My mother works as a nurse at a health clinic, and the phrase they are taught is, "swallow or spit, but don't let it sit." Whatever you choose to do, do so quickly, as the shorter period of time ejaculate is in the mouth, the lower the risk for STI transmission.

Dear Alice,
I am intrigued by the reader's question and just wanted to say, "don't feel embarrassed." It is a very common concern amongst females who like to suck on gentlemen's genitals (i.e., the cock, the balls, and the fart hole—although the last one not being strictly genitals, but connected to them via the perineum). Anyway, getting back to what to do with a mouthful of sperm, here are a few options to consider:
- Swallow - Benefits: "waste not, want not," easy, tastes good, and doesn't waste tissues (i.e., is environmentally friendly). Drawbacks: might not taste good depending on what he ate, a big mouthful, and the gag factor.
- Spit - Benefits: no calories, no weight gain. Drawbacks: can be offensive, wastes tissues, and the effort needed to get out of bed to spit, unless you spit in bed.
- Donate to a sperm bank - the considerate approach.
- Snowball it back to your partner - "he makes it, he takes it".
- Give the cum to the bum - Benefit: you won't get pregnant.
