The Health Benefits of Going Down

We all know oral sex is awesome. Whether you like munching the muff or slurping the shaft, going down on someone is an awesome way to express intimacy, sexiness, and desire. Did you know, though, as well as feeling pleasure in the pants, oral sex is great for a whole bunch of healthy reasons! 

Here are some of the best ones!

1.  Cancer Prevention

Sperm is pretty fucking amazing stuff. Match it with an egg and it creates life… Swallow it and it can actually help prevent breast cancer! Studies have shown that women who indulge in the gooey milkshake of love around twice a week have significantly lower rates of breast cancer than those who don’t. It’s not just the breasts that can benefit either. Regular ejaculation for men has also been proven to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

2.  Anti-Depressant

As well as all the life-giving, and cancer-preventing goodness than can be found in sperm, recent research has shown that certain ingredients within it; cortisol, estrone, and oxytocin are all known to elevate mood and create feelings of affection, contentedness and well-being.

3.  Helps You Sleep

Yes, we all know the relief and release of an orgasm can help send you off to sleep, especially the guys, but did you know that semen contains melatonin? That’s one of the best and most efficient sleep inducing chemicals in the world, and is far better for you than chemical heavy sleeping tablets.

4.  Good For The Gut

We’ve all seen those ads on telly for probiotic bacteria for inner health and gut well-being, but did you know that the vagina contains these amazing floras as well? Lactobacillus are the main bacteria that lives in the vagina and its neutralising qualities are essential in keeping a good healthy balance in not only the vagina, but your digestive system as well.

5.  Take A Deep Breath

When we spend a long time going down, regardless of which genitalia we are going down on, we tend to change the way we breathe, taking in deeper breaths and bringing in more oxygen. Our diaphragms get a good workout and our lungs fill more. This deeper breathing has so many health benefits including helping to improve liver and lung function, balance control, mental well being, and relaxation.

    No mention of safe sex here Eva? Nor the sources of your "recent research". Very educational.

      Mate... You're an adult. I'm talking about eating sperm and vaginal fluid... If you can't read between the lines and understand the risks then you should probably not be on an adult site.
      I don't believe I need to disclaimer every little post to hold your hand. Like I said. You're an adult.
      Also.. Google is your friend.
      This is a light hearted piece on oral sex... Not a research paper on pub med.
      Cheers for your input.

      Cortisol is an interesting one and I looked at a lot of different papers to see what they said. Mostly it's good as an anti inflammatory however quite a few papers spoke about the combination of these chemicals having positive benefits to mood and cortisol having properties that help people bond emotionally.

      We need cortisol, it's when we produce too much or too little that our bodies are affected. That's why it's important to get a good night's sleep - to allow our cortisol levels to drop overnight to give our bodies a rest.

      Hello - I did love reading your reply - you are right ref older gentlemen, who love making sure the lady is totally done and nothing left in her, all finished, cupboard cleaned out, that's it - no more.
      Was seeing a lady (she has gone back to the U.K now) and she would be totally exhausted, had to get the Motel Manager to move us away from the rest, as she was a bit "noisy" - and after she was done, it was my turn - usually "doggie", sometimes "missionary", then I'd make the cuppa. She used to travel from Oxley to Kallangur on the new rail line coming to Redcliffe. I miss her - but time moves on.
      Now I'm not trying to chat you up or anything, as you are up in Sth Burnett and I'm here at Redcliffe, and I don't suit your criteria anyway ... But your reply certainly "rang a bell" in this old bloke's heart.
      Have a nice day, and I hope you meet someone really really nice too.

    You should have also mention being a sexpert that swallowing semen can infect you with HIV if the other person is infected. Can't believe you didn't mention that point to tell people to be careful before swallowing!

      We didn't cover consent, semen allergies, throat cancer, Hep B & C, getting it in your eye – ouch - or a whole host of other issues. But if you have consent, have been tested, both partners choose not to wear protection for oral sex and wear goggles then look at the health benefits!

      The positives are always easier to deal with them the negatives.
      Anyone can find someone that's good at oral sex but can everyone infected with something tell their partners the truth about any health issues that may affect them.
      And yes I've had great oral sex but people that have a lot of it really need to consider their partners and other people's health just because they catch something doesn't mean they can't stop other people from contracting something it's really selfish of someone not to say anything about what they have and to lie about it noting most things are cured by a prescription a sure sign a guy has cheated is when they get clymidia from some woman and their partner doesn't.

    Although I find giving head as fun as receiving it the author of this article has neglected to comment on the correlation between men giving women head and throat cancer

    Sadly medical studies have linked increase in throat cancer with the increase in oral sex.
    The culprit is HPV which is similarly linked to Cervical cancer
    HPV is the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancers (the very back of the mouth and part of what in lay terms might be called a part of the throat), and a very small number of front of the mouth, oral cavity cancers. HPV16 is the version most responsible, and affects both males and females.
    Google..the information is everywhere. The news has changed our habits.

      Yes totally agree. Along with the 2 new strains of gonhareah. 1 which has no response to any antibiotics on the market. Unless your with a monogomas partner Oral sex is now also in the catagory of safe sex. Condoms for males and dams for females also fingering during group sex should be wearing disposable gloves doubling up is a good idea. Most people don't know that gonhareah can be transfered to the back of the throat. There are even cases of gonhareah is the eyes. Its a shame its getting worse.

    1 oral sex gave a few people throat cancer.
    2. havent you heard of the super bug, caused by oral sex, people flying in and out of nsw and vic, also people that don't use protection have clymidia caused by too much sex without condom use, men carry it and women pass it on to men.
    3. there are no benefits but if you do not care about 1 and 2 well then 3 doesnt apply.

    I love to feel my guys hard cock slipping into my mouth, the sights, sounds, scents and taste are incredibly erotic. With oral I feel so intimately connected to his pleasure it is a massive turn on for me and when he explodes in my mouth I can't help but cum mysef.

    One health benefit of going down on a woman which nobody here has mentioned yet.
    A healthy woman's vagina has exactly the same kind of bacteria as found in a healthy person's digestive system, so if your woman is clean down there and has no STDs, you will, while enjoying each other, be receiving a good dose of health-giving probiotics too!
