Spit, swallow or dodge?

If asked, most men would probably say they want their partner to swallow their load when performing oral sex. It feels good, and there's less to clean-up. That makes sense.

However, being on the other end of an ejaculation is not so simple. Some guys don't like the taste of a spermatozoa sandwich, while others don't mind. It is great for calorie counters, adding only 5 to 7 calories to your daily intake. But not everyone wants their "protein shakes" firing at them at 28 miles per hour, the speed of your average cum shot. There's also the question of safety: taking cum in the mouth is a higher risk activity for  HIV and other STDs.

So what's a gay to do?
