The Mamamia Sealed Section launched last week and it’s still buzzing. Quite literally. You can check out our first post here
It’s clear that the sex chat is something that women like to do (and like to have at their disposal). And what better forum than on the internet with a trusted expert – enter Tracey Cox. Tracey is an internationally recognised sex, body language and relationships expert as well as a TV presenter and author and she’s answering the questions that we can’t really ask anywhere else.
Today’s Question:
“I have been seeing a bloke for a couple of months now and from the second date he has been quite pushy for sex. I slept with him on date four, as it felt right to. He was very good at oral sex and said he was enjoying it, we tried quite a few positions and both had a good time (even though I didn’t orgasm!).
As he was about to come, he withdrew and asked if he could ejaculate on my face. I said yes and he jumped up on the bed, took the condom off, stood over me and did it. His manner slightly surprised me, no one has ever done that to me before. He said he found it fun! I have had mixed response from friends, some say its degrading, others think it’s fine.
I am not too bothered, just didn’t see it coming! I wonder why he didn’t want to come inside me and whether he just views me as a sex object. (I was wearing a corset and stockings etc). What is your perspective on this?”
Tracey Cox says
“Wow! There are a lot of mixed signals in there so my response is layered also. You’re obviously quite adventurous sexually to have pulled on stockings and a corset for the first sex session with your new man. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just interesting that you went for that look for the very first time you did it. Most of us pull on sexy underwear but a corset, stockings (and I’m guessing suspenders) first time around, sends a very clear message that you’re up for sex that pushes the boundaries. This is perhaps why he felt safe enough to suggest ejaculating on your face. This is NOT to say that you’ve done anything wrong or behaved in a ‘slutty’ fashion (I don’t even believe in the word). I actually applaud your gutsiness and embracing of the whole thing. I’m just trying to make sense of why he’d suggest doing that the very first time you have sex.
‘Pearl necklaces’ – ejaculating so his semen forms a ‘necklace’ around your neck – or ejaculating elsewhere on the body or face is something lots of couples try. It’s a bit naughty because it is degrading and that’s all part of the turn on. I don’t see anything wrong with doing it now and then at all. What I do find interesting – at the risk of repeating a point – is that he choose to do it the first time you had sex and you let him. By doing this, you set a precedent: sex between the two of you is going to be ‘naughty’. Again, nothing wrong with it, except perhaps that it’s lacking any type of tenderness.
The first time between people who care about each other is about intimacy and connection and trust and – dare I say –fanning the flames of the first flickers of love. It’s a special moment. There seems to have been lots of lust but little of the love part in this encounter. I don’t know if that bothers you or not. I guess it depends on what you want long term.”

Just to play devil’s advocate, why is everything OK if it floats your boat? i.e. degradation is fine, as long as you’re fine with it. Is it really? I wonder what commenters think. Does the urge to degrade another person belong to us playing out the need to subjugate and be top of the status tree, or play out revenge that we’re not always top of the status tree? Why is it totally fine to play this out with your sexual partner, when it’s not OK any other time? Would it be OK if a woman agreed to let her partner constantly put her down verbally throughout their relationship as a way of playing out this urge, rather than just in the bedroom? If not, why is it OK during sex? Why is sex the forum for playing out encounters that are not acceptable anywhere else in life?
Personally, I wouldn’t want to spend any time with someone who wanted to do that to me the very first time we had sex. Either he’s playing out some pre-existing fantasy and you’re just the convenient object of it, or it indicates something about the way he feels about you. Either way, it doesn’t sound that attractive, or like it’s laying the basis for a good all-round relationship. If it’s just confined to your sexual relationship (which I don’t think it can be, personally – nothing in life is that tightly bounded) then I guess it tells you little about the rest of how your relationship might turn out – other than that you are going to have a sexual life of that kind alongside it.
There seems to be a creeping dogmatism that anything goes with sex and that we’re somehow lacking in freedom if we don’t espouse that view and aren’t prepared to go along in the bedroom. I don’t buy it.

I really like this response.

“Would it be OK if a woman agreed to let her partner constantly put her down verbally throughout their relationship as a way of playing out this urge, rather than just in the bedroom?”
SUCH a good point.

Love this response!
A very strong female friend of mine had started sleeping with a guy. He asked if he could ‘take control’. She assumed he meant just in the confines of the bedroom. But she did specifically mention it to me in our chats. Surely he just means in bed, she asked.
Cut to down the track: he says something to her outside the bedroom. She says no and then he says but you said I could take control.
He asked while they were in bed but meant in life. Her gut feeling was spot on. Sometimes you get that feeling when something is gonna come back to bite you in the ass…and not in the fun kinky way

Such a fantastic comment. I agree 100%

First time I let someone ejaculate on me was on my chest, and it was boyfriend. We had been together for oh…a year I think and I trusted him very much. He only wanted to try it, and only if I was comfortable with it. Great guy
Tbh, I actually didn’t mind it. He got a big kick out of it, which gives me a bit of a boost too hehe. I think it is kind of hot if we are in the shower and I am giving him head, to you know..get him to finish on my chest…because I don’t like swallowing.
Then the water rinses it off straight away anyway!!
I don’t know how I would feel if he, or someone else asked me if they could do that the first time we had sex. I don’t think I would like it and probably would have said no.

This guy is obviously wanting sex to be like the sex he sees on porn sites…to me this would be a big “danger” sign in terms of what he thinks “normal” sex is…especially as he asked to do it during your first sexual encounter…
…I bet he’ll ask for anal next…and then a threesome…
That’s cool if you’re into that kind of stuff, but I just think he’s using sex with you to simply play out his porn-centric fantasies, not to engage with you as an equal sexual partner.
loading...
Yep. What he said.
loading...
Really well said JJ, I totally agree.
As a side note, I had a very similar first time sex encounter with a guy recently – and as you predicted, he asked for anal the next time!! Needless to say, I am no longer seeing him. Sex pest.
loading...
You speak sense JJ. This girl sounds uncomfortable and should just do what she feels like, not what she feels is “sexy” this second. Own your sexuality don’t let anyone force you to do anything!

If you are happy and he is happy then go for it. It wouldn’t be my cup of tea though.

This reminded me of an article Ben Law wrote for ABC The Drum: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3831984.html He was conducting sex ed classes in Burma; his students (young men) watched porn, so they knew that women loved having semen squirted all over their faces, but had no idea where the clitoris was. Revealing!
I would find being ejaculated on degrading, and I don’t find degradation sexy. Of course, if other people do, that is totally fine! But I think that the normalisation of pornography has made men’s pleasure all-important, while what women want is misconstrued. When it comes to real-life sex, we woman should be honest about what we want. Just because a man wants to do something (because he has watched it in porn), that doesn’t mean we have to say yes.

What a brilliant response Tracey. So well put (no pun intended)
loading...
Agree!
Great response!!!
Pretty sure I wouldn’t be comfortable with that for the first time!! :/
Just laughed though reading about it
Each to their own

heheh just didn’t see it coming…

Yeah! lol! Did Tracey suggest she wears goggles next time? I always keep a pair in the top draw just in case Mr First Time fancies giving me a sperm facial!! I hear the clang of handcuffs louder than wedding bells with this chap.

I hear it’s good for your skin lol

An ex of mine used to claim it was moisturiser…

I think that’s a really great response Tracey. Totally nothing wrong with it but pretty full on for the first time you have sex with someone. Allowing someone to ejaculate their internal fluids all over you (let alone your face) is a total letting down of barriers which would usually be reserved for someone you had built up a great deal of trust and connection with.

I don’t care how much trust or how much HE wants it he is not squirting in my face…
