I'm thinking about going down on my boyfriend, but the idea of swallowing grosses me out. I know I can have him tell me when hes climaxing, but what do I do with the cum? Just let it go?

The best solution to this problem is to use a flavored condom. Trustex, Durex and Lifestyles all make pretty darn good flavored condoms. They eliminate the question of "spit or swallow" altogether. Just add a little extra lube to the inside of the condom, and it'll feel good for him. Roll it on him before you come into contact with his penis. this way, not only won't you get semen anywhere in your mouth, you'll also be protecting each other from STDs, including HSV-1, the virus that usually causes cold sores, but can also result in genital herpes. It's common in 60% of the population, but why spread it around if you don't have to?

You can buy flavored condoms at the drug store. Buy a few different kinds and taste-test them yourself to see which ones you like.
