I really want to try snowballing

Q: I’m really curious about snowballing and would love to try it with my girlfriend some time. I’m not really sure how to bring it up with her though because she’s not the biggest fan of having cum in her mouth, and I don’t want to pressure her or make her feel uncomfortable. Also is it safe?

I’m really glad you put the extra bit in there about not wanting to pressure your girlfriend into doing something she may not like, because it’s important that you are aware of her boundaries and likes and dislikes, and are mindful of her feelings and consent. In saying that, however, that doesn’t mean you can’t open up a conversation around it and see if there is any room for compromise or experimentation. The best time to start this conversation would be outside of the bedroom, though, and not while you’re in the throes of passion. Firstly it is far easier to have a meaningful and open conversation when there are no other distractions around, and secondly it can really put undue pressure and difficulty to say no or explain yourself properly when asked while in a passionate and amorous mood. 

It is absolutely okay to tell her it is something you’d like to try and, while you are aware she’s not the biggest cum fan, it is also okay to ask her if that is a complete hard limit (meaning that it’s not up for discussion, compromise or anything ever) or is it something you could both work on to see if she could get into a comfortable place to try it? If her aversion to semen is purely taste-based there are fruits (pineapples and strawberries and others) and even specialised products sold in adult shops that can help sweeten the taste a bit, but if her aversion is something deeper and more personal, you may find that there is no compromising whatsoever, and in that case you just have to deal with it and regale it to your fantasy world and porn viewing genres.

As for the health risks, snowballing has the same risks associated with all oral sex, especially when it involves ejaculation. STIs can be transmitted via semen into the body through the mouth so, as with all unprotected sexual activities, you should be absolutely aware of this and make sure you get tested regularly. One thing that can help minimise the risk of STI transmission via unprotected oral (although be aware we say “minimise” not “stop” because there are many risks in unprotected sexual activities) is to make sure you DO NOT brush or floss your teeth in the lead up to these activities. These actions leave tiny little cuts and abrasions in your mouth which can then allow STIs and other infections directly into your bloodstream. 

For those reading who may not be aware of the term, “snowballing” is the act of ejaculating into someone’s mouth and then having them spit the semen back into your mouth. It is usually combined with kissing and passing the liquid back and forth, mixing with saliva and growing in size, hence the term “snowballing”. This practice is a huge turn on for many people from all the many different groups of sexual people and sexualities (except probably cis lesbians who sleep with other cis lesbians because they don’t deal with semen much as a rule). It doesn’t make you gay. It doesn’t make you a freak. It doesn’t make you anything but someone who enjoys snowballing…. So bottoms up, or whatever they say, and happy slurping… (with consent of course).
