You would not believe some of the descriptions of "that yukky stuff" I hear in my office! First, I, personally, do not like the taste, smell or consisteny of semen. Second, an active sex life, with male partners, means we need to deal with it. I always keep finger towels on the bedside table and have learned that the benefits of performing oral outweight the short term terrible taste.


I do not know whether a sex therapist or a therapist who deals with phobias would help more. There are some wild phobias out there and you need not be apologetic for this. With proper guidance, you can overcome the phobic response. Once I learned what pleasure I was giving and what I got in return, I learned to tolerate it. Not an acquired taste so much as a quid pro quo. Like most women, I have had it end up just about everywhere - that is part of our being the ones responsible for extracting it from the male body.

I suggest you talk with someone - therapist, girlfriend, whomever. The stuff is really nothing to be afraid of and it washes easily.
