It depends on the maturity of the male. I have to admit when I was in my teens and still early twenties I was selfish. It was all about me, let me hit that, give me some head. As I got older I realized a few ways to get sexual pleasures from women. If you eat the pussy she will be putty in your hands. I must add that you have to do a good job.
Just as it is rare to have a girl who can really suck a dick it might be rare to have a guy that can eat the pussy right. That is a treat for a woman. Not saying I'm that guy, but the reaction I get are damn near popped ear drums and a crushed head between thighs cause I go "deep sea diving wit no scuba gear or oxygen supply". Plus women like to hold your head too. WTF? My head is already clamped in place. I knew I should have finished writing my Will. And I should have taken out some insurance for death by pussy suffocation. Haha! I digress.
In a GF BF situation it is more of a compromise. You do me and I'll return the favor. When you just out in the world like a squirrel trying to get a nut you get what a person is willing to give. And if they like to do it chances are they have some skill level and you will not be disappointed.
For me and my face. I love to eat the pussy especially when you get aroused from foreplay. That is the best time to give you a few O faces before penetration. My tounge =

and your face is like =

and when I'm done your like =
"The tongue is strong with this one"
