Yes! Read something about how to do it right and what girls like best for their guys to do before you do it. If you can't be pleasured yourself while pleasuring her, my advice is NOT to do it because you're reluctance will show through in your actions and you won't satisfy her. On the contrary you'll only spoil you chances of doing another time. . Like, don't do it because you think you need to in order for her to return the favor. Instead, look at her letting you go down on her as a special favor no matter how many times she lets you. Also, don't try to so equal, like if I do me then that mean you have to do me. Instead, be like. I want to go down on you because I want to bring up both pleasure, but especially YOU. Then do your very, very best to prove to her you're a man instead of a boy. Let her return the favor to you only when she wants to, and it SHOULDN'T be as often as you're pleasuring her. That'll make for a very healthy and super relationship where your girl will feel extra special to you, or your FWB!. Just learn to do it right the first time, or at least know the basics because her first impression of how good you are will stay with her. But what she'll notice most of all is your desire to please her and how hard you're trying versus your specific techniques. Ask her to guide you and let you know what it is that's really turning her on that you're doing, and what does not feel so great so as you're doing it the first few times. But pay attention to her reactions and how she'd reacting to what you're doing.
I like your thoughts on reciprocating. I have not had much luck with guys reciprocating oral sex. I will tell you honestly, whether I come or not, it is highly pleasurable. It is pleasurable just the fact that he is willing to do it. There's a lot of mental stimulation for me as physical stimulation. I have yet to find a guy who makes me come due to the physical act of oral sex, the joy alone has made me satisfied mentally and physically. but then again, I get orgasms when I think about sexual acts. I'm sorry I could not be of more help to the bulk of your question, but I wanted to share with you my thoughts on worry about her feeling what you said, "hmm should I be acting pleasured?" I hope someone else can give you a sufficient answer. Good luck!
I can do this for you.. wanna give me a chance?
Take it slow I guess. Go down on her slowly, maybe starting at her inner leg or something because it builds up that anticipation. From then on once you've hit the spot, read her body. When something feels good, girl usually arch their back and muscles will flex and some girls will make noise. You could also finger her while you're doing this and for most girls this will enhance the pleasure. Hope this helps
keepindigo is right, build up the anticipation at her thighs like she said, and then read her body. It'll tell you what's working for her. And maybe even ask her what she likes and doesn't. Some girls really like being asked. Just be careful, if your not fully aware of down there, then you could hit something sensitive the wrong way easily.
