Do Women Like Giving Blowjobs? Insights & Perspectives From Women

Ivy sensually giving Marco oral, exploring if women enjoy giving blowjobs from women's perspectives.

Do women actually like giving blowjobs?—is an age-old question whispered in locker rooms and wondered by guys everywhere. Surprisingly, a survey revealed that over 80% of respondents find pleasure in giving blow jobs, and 73.5% feel that it is fun. Keep reading, because knowing exactly what makes her mouth vibrate (in the good way) could turn your sex life from "meh" to "holy hell, do that again!"

In this article, we'll cover:

  • Hear directly from women about what makes giving blowjobs hot—or not.
  • Learn exactly what men do wrong (and right) to make her love oral sex.
  • Get expert tips to turn giving oral from an obligation into her favorite activity.

Do Women Love Giving Blow Jobs? (Based On Research)

Ivy passionately gives Marco oral in a sensual moment, illustrating research on women's enjoyment of blowjobs.

Let’s start with the hard data (so to speak). Do women actually enjoy giving blowjobs, or are they just doing it for their partner’s sake? This question gets asked a lot, and luckily, science has nosed its way into the bedroom to find some answers. Here’s what the research tells us:

  • It’s Very Common: First off, oral sex is a mainstream part of most couples’ lives. According to the National Survey of Family Growth, about 86% of women (and 87% of men) in the U.S. have had oral sex with an opposite-sex partner at least once. So almost every heterosexual woman has some experience giving or receiving oral. It’s not some rare, kinky act—it’s practically standard practice.
  • Many Women Do Enjoy It – to Varying Degrees: Enjoyment, however, isn’t equal across the board. A study among Canadian university students found that while 69% of women reported receiving oral sex as "very pleasurable," only 28% considered giving oral sex to be equally pleasurable.
  • Pleasure vs. Obligation: What about actual pleasure? Another survey of 500 college women found that nearly 60% had given a blowjob in their most recent sexual encounter. Just over half said it was “somewhat pleasurable,” and only 17% admitted they didn’t enjoy giving oral at all. So while many women will perform oral sex, only a minority find it highly pleasurable. A good chunk is ambivalent, and some actively dislike it.
  • Blowjobs Are Fun for Many: But let's not assume women are out here gritting their teeth and powering through every BJ. Quite the opposite! A recent survey revealed that over 80% of respondents actually enjoy giving blow jobs, and 73.5% even described it as fun. For these women, it’s not about obligation—it’s about the thrill. The power trip of seeing their partner lose control, the intimacy of the moment, or the so exciting feeling of knowing they’re the reason for all that moaning. For some, it’s playful and empowering; for others, it's about savoring that deep, personal connection.

The Bottom Line—Mixed Feelings: So, do women like giving blowjobs? Some absolutely do, some absolutely don’t, and a whole lot are in the middle. The majority of women seem to tolerate or moderately enjoy it rather than adore it outright.

In short, it’s a wrong move to assume “all women hate BJs” or “all women secretly love it.” Reality is more nuanced. As we move on, we’ll see exactly what women say they love or hate about giving head. Get ready—it’s time for some candid pro/con confessions!

What Women Say About Giving Blowjobs?

Okay, let’s cut the crap—you wanna hear what women actually think about giving blow jobs, right? There is way too much blowjob porn out there, not depicting it correctly let's see what real women feel when they're down there.

I’ve chatted with countless ladies over the past few years, from those who've hated blowjobs to those who've found their new kinkier lover within themselves. And let me tell you, opinions vary—big time. Let’s dive right in:

Ivy eagerly gives Marco oral, showcasing women's candid views on their experiences giving blowjobs.

Why Women Love Giving Head

  • Excitement & Desire:
    "Seeing Him Lose Control Turns Me On Like Crazy"
    "I Just Think It’s Hot"
    "Sometimes, I’d Rather Give Head Than Have Sex"
    "I Used to Hate It, But Now I Actually Love It"
    "I Do It Because I Love Doing It, Not Just Because He Wants It"
    "It’s One of My Biggest Turn-Ons"
  • Intimacy:
    "Swallowing His Juice Makes Me Feel Like He’s Mine"
    "It Makes Me Feel Closer, Like We’re Really Connected"
  • Power:
    "I Love That I’m in Control for Once"
  • Instant Feedback & Skills:
    "I Love Watching His Face and Hearing Him Moan"
    "I Take Pride in Being Damn Good at It"
  • Mutual Pleasure:
    "If He’s Taking Care of Me, I’m More Than Happy to Return the Favor"

Why Women Hate Giving Head

  • Pressure:
    "It Feels More Like an Obligation Than Pleasure"
    "He Pressures Me Into It, and That’s a Turn-Off"
  • Pleasure-Killer:
    "It’s Uncomfortable and Physically Draining"
    "I Hate the Taste, Smell, or Texture"
    "It Takes Too Long, and My Jaw Hurts"
    "I Used to Like It, But Now It’s Just a Chore"
  • Very Intimate Act:
    "Oral Sex Is Too Intimate for Casual Hookups"
    "I Feel Self-Conscious or Awkward Doing It"
    "I’d Rather Focus on Other Types of Pleasure"
  • Fairness:
    "If He Doesn’t Reciprocate, Why Should I?"

As you can see, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to giving blow jobs. But, here’s your motivational takeaway: If you want your woman to feel sexy and genuinely enjoy sucking cock, make sure you’re not treating it like an entitlement or a personal distraction. When done right, blowjobs can become one of your best sex acts together—something she might even insist on doing because she loves it that much.

Context is everything. Next, we’ll zoom in on those turn-offs—specifically, common mistakes guys make that can turn a woman from willing to “hell no.” To answer this, my wife and certified sexologist, Isabel will give you an insider scoop on what not to do if you ever want a BJ again.

A Woman's Perspective..
On What Men Do Wrong, So Women Refuse Giving Head

from Isabel
SEXUALITY COACH
Isabel, certified sexologist at SQL and SOS, shares insights on common mistakes men make that turn women off giving head.

Here are the big mistakes men make that can make a woman slam the brakes on ever putting her mouth on it. If you’ve ever had a partner who avoids or outright bans blowjobs, chances are one (or more) of these mood-killing mistakes played a role. Pay attention, and you might recognize a thing or two… Buckle up, fellas—a little tough love never hurt.

Mistake #1 – Poor Hygiene

Let's be blunt: if you want her to actually love giving blow jobs, make sure you're fresh down there. Expecting her to dive in after you've just finished your workout—or worse, after a long day and you haven't showered—isn't exactly the way to encourage enthusiasm.

Why It Matters?

Women are more sensitive to smells and tastes than guys realize. Bad hygiene turns an exciting feeling into a gag-fest (and not the fun kind). If your partner is hesitant, hygiene might be the reason why. Trust me, a clean hard or soft penis makes any girl feel sexy rather than nauseous.

What Should You Do?
Keep it clean and groomed. Good hygiene is the easiest step to getting her to genuinely love giving blow jobs.

Mistake #2 – Not Showing You Enjoy It

Here's the thing—women genuinely get turned on by your pleasure. If you're silent, lying stiff as a board, or looking like you’d rather watch blowjob porn or YouTube, she's probably thinking, "Am I terrible at this or what?"

Why It Matters?

She wants to know she's doing a great job. Seeing your head fall back, hearing your moans, or having you tell her it feels amazing creates an exciting feeling that keeps her coming back for more.

What Should You Do?
Show your appreciation—moan a little, breathe heavier, say things like, "Wow, that feels incredible." Trust me, your excitement fuels hers.

Mistake #3 – Overstepping Her Boundaries

Maybe you’ve seen guys in blowjob porn aggressively grabbing heads and assuming it’s hot. In reality? That move rarely flies. Overstepping—forcing her head down, pushing too deep, or surprising her when you finish—is guaranteed to backfire.

Why It Matters?

Blow jobs require trust. When you overstep her boundaries, even unintentionally, she feels unsafe or disrespected. That bad experience sticks, and she’ll think twice before going down again.

What Should You Do?
Let her lead the way. Gently guide with words (not hands) and communicate clearly about finishing. Keep it consensual and fun—she’ll be far more willing (and eager) next time.

Mistake #4 – Taking Her Blowjobs for Granted

She’s down there, focused solely on your pleasure, and you just roll over afterward without acknowledging her effort. Come on, dude—no wonder she's not eager for round two!

Why It Matters?

If giving oral feels thankless, she'll stop seeing it as something special or enjoyable. Everyone loves hearing appreciation—especially after they've made an effort to please you.

What Should You Do?
Say thanks. Tell her it was amazing. Kiss her, cuddle her—make it clear that you value her and her efforts. When she feels genuinely appreciated, she'll be much more likely to love performing oral regularly.

The good news? All of the above is fixable with a little consideration, communication, and respect. If you avoid these blunders you’ll dramatically increase the odds that she’ll not only be willing to give head, but maybe even be enthusiastic about it.

And that, my man, sets us up perfectly for the next part: expert tips on how to encourage more oral action, the right way.

Andrew’s Expert Tips On How To Get More Blowjobs From Her

Guys, by now you might be thinking, “Alright, I get what not to do. But how do I actually encourage my woman to want to give me more blowjobs (or enjoy the ones she already gives)?” Great question. Let’s get into the golden advice:

Tip #1 – Always Get Enthusiastic Consent

Marco and Ivy share a playful, intimate moment under the covers, highlighting Andrew's tip on enthusiastic consent.

This tip comes first for a reason: nothing else matters if you skip this step. Always ensure you have her enthusiastic consent before initiating a blowjob. This might sound obvious, but it’s worth emphasizing. Consent isn’t just the absence of a “no”; it’s the presence of a joyful “yes!” She should feel 100% free to say no at any point. If her heart’s not in it, a blowjob isn’t going to be enjoyable (for either of you).

Here's What You Need To Do

Instead of the awkward “So… you wanna maybe…?” approach, frame it in a sexy, positive way. You could say playfully, “I'd love to feel your lips around my cock, that would be so hot right now.” or simply, “Would you like to?” in the heat of the moment.

The key is, to ask in a way that makes it clear it’s completely her choice. And if she hesitates or seems unsure, back off gracefully. Sometimes just knowing that you respect her right to say no will make her more comfortable saying yes. When a woman gives consent enthusiastically, you know she’s mentally on board – which means a much better experience.
Consent = sexy
Pressure = unsexy.
Always remember that.

Tip #2 – Reciprocation Keeps Things Fair

Marco and Ivy pleasure each other in a steamy 69, demonstrating Andrew's tip about fair reciprocation.

We touched on this earlier, and it can’t be stressed enough: if you want more blowjobs, start by giving more oral to her (if she enjoys receiving it). Reciprocity is huge. Women are far more likely to be excited about pleasuring you if they feel their pleasure is important to you, too. It creates a cycle of goodwill and arousal.

Here's What You Need To Do

Make sure you’re not just a taker. Don’t treat it as a tit-for-tat transaction (nobody wants to feel like, “I did you, now you owe me.”). Instead, do it because you genuinely want to please her. Most women, when they feel sexually satisfied and valued, will naturally be more inclined to make sure you feel the same. It’s about fostering a balanced sexual relationship where both of you give and receive. Fair play, folks!

Tip #3 – Let Her Set The Pace & Take Control

One of the biggest turn-ons for women who enjoy giving head is being in control of the act. Conversely, one of the biggest turn-offs is feeling out of control (remember the boundaries thing). So, make a conscious effort to let her set the pace, depth, and rhythm when she’s going down on you. Essentially, follow her lead, not the other way around.

Here's What You Need To Do

When she’s performing oral, resist the urge to grab her head or thrust intensely unless you agree on it beforehand. Instead, you can put your hands at your sides, or gently on her shoulders or the bed – something that signals you’re not going to interfere.

You can even explicitly tell her, “You’re in charge – do whatever you want, it all feels incredible.” This can be very empowering for her. If she knows you’re surrendering to her technique, she can relax and do it at a speed and method that’s comfortable for her. You might be eager for faster or deeper, but patience, grasshopper – if she’s comfortable, she’s likely to build up intensity over time. And if not, that’s okay too.

Tip #4 – Use Dirty Talk To Build Excitement

You might be surprised how much words can amp up a sexual scenario. A little well-placed dirty talk or sexy encouragement can do wonders to make her feel excited about what she’s doing.


Many women (and men) find that erotic talk heightens arousal and makes the whole experience more fun and playful. It sets a steamy mood that can get her more into it.

Marco whispers seductive dirty talk into Ivy's ear, visibly building excitement and anticipation.

Here's What You Need To Do

Now, “dirty talk” doesn’t have to mean anything rude or out of character – it can be as simple as descriptively expressing how hot it is.

For example, during the act, praise and sexy commentary are great: “God, you look so sexy right now,” or “I love how you do that,” or “You’re making me feel amazing.” You can also guide her with turn-ons: “Yeah, suck it just like that, baby,” if she’s into explicit language. Gauge her comfort – start mild, and if she seems to respond positively, you can ramp it up a bit.

Hearing you talk about how much it turns you on can reinforce her enjoyment. Just keep it positive and focused on how good she is making you feel. Done right, dirty talk can be the whispering wind that fans the flames of her enthusiasm.

Tip #5 – Pay Attention To Their Comfort & Cues

Ivy passionately gives Marco oral while he gently holds her head, emphasizing comfort and attentiveness to cues.

This tip is about awareness. If you want her to not just give you more blowjobs but actually enjoy giving them, you must stay attuned to her comfort level at all times. As the receiver, it’s easy to just lay back and focus on your own pleasure, but don’t go on autopilot.

Tune in to her breathing, her body language, little sounds she makes (or doesn’t make). Is she pausing because her jaw is tired? Is she avoiding a certain angle because it’s uncomfortable? Being mindful of these cues lets you respond in ways that keep her comfortable and willing to continue.

Here's What You Need To Do

A few practical things: If she starts to slow down or seems to struggle (gagging, coughing, jaw cramping), offer a break. Pull her up for a kiss to give her a moment to relax her mouth. If she’s using her hand more, it might be a sign she needs a breather from full oral—that’s fine, let her mix techniques.

Encourage her to do what feels good for her too. Some women like it when the guy takes over for a bit, stroke yourself for a few seconds while she catches her breath—who says you can’t tag-team pleasure?

Also, notice her enthusiasm level—if at any point it seems like she’s not into it anymore, don’t ignore that. Switch gears by paying attention and being responsive, you show her that her comfort is a priority. That builds trust—she knows you’re not going to push her past what she’s okay with, which means she’ll be more likely to want to do it again next time.

Tip #6 – Ask Before You Finish—Don’t Assume

Ivy smiles playfully as Marco finishes, emphasizing the importance of clear communication before climax.

We hinted at this earlier under mistakes, but it bears repeating as a formal tip because it’s so important: always ask (or at least warn) before you cum during oral. Even if she’s happily bobbing away, don’t just assume it’s cool to finish in her mouth or on her without checking in. This tiny act of courtesy can make a huge difference in how she feels about the whole experience.

Here's What You Need To Do

When you feel yourself getting close, let her know. A sexy, “I’m really close…” is often enough to prompt a discussion in the moment. She might decide to pull back, or she might moan affirmatively to signal it’s okay—each woman is different in what finish she’s comfortable with.

If you’re not sure of her preference, it’s perfectly fine (even appreciated) to ask beforehand, “Where do you want me to finish?” It may feel a bit awkward to ask, but it’s far better than doing something that upsets her.

Many women who don’t mind cum in the mouth still hate not being warned—nobody likes a surprise they weren’t ready for. My favorite is counting down “3, 2, 1" and then cum this gives her the chance to get excited and to decide how to handle it, and shows you respect her involvement. As one humorous female writer put it, “We need more than just a flinch. Two words, ‘I’m close,’ should do the trick.”

Remember, a blowjob is a two-person activity even if only one person is on the receiving end. Your behavior, before, during, and after, strongly influences her willingness to put her lips on your bits. Follow these tips, and you’ll not only get more blowjobs, you’ll get blowjobs from a partner who is genuinely into it—and trust us, you can feel the difference!

Now that we’ve covered the dos and don’ts in-depth, let’s answer some specific frequently asked questions guys often have about women and blowjobs. You asked, we answer – rapid-fire style.

Frequently Asked Questions

From deep-throating dilemmas to decoding her moans, we’re diving headfirst into the stuff you really wanna know. Let’s clear the air (and maybe your mind) about all things oral.

What Are Some Signs That a Woman Likes to Suck Dick?

She'll initiate blow jobs, maintain playful eye contact, moan while giving pleasure, and genuinely enjoy making her man moan. Expect enthusiasm—not hesitation. A "good girl" who loves sucking will often tease your cock, maintain sexy eye contact, and openly tell you how amazing you taste.

What Are Some Signs That a Woman Is Good at Oral Sex?

She’s confident, combines mouth and hand motions smoothly, and pays attention to sensitive areas like your tip, balls, and shaft. She’ll naturally alternate rhythm, pressure, and depth—possibly even love deep-throating. If she makes you moan uncontrollably, she's a woman who definitely knows her way around oral.

What Do Guys Like in a Blowjob?

Men absolutely love enthusiasm and variety. Moisture, rhythmic strokes, tongue teasing, and playful sounds (like moaning or sucking noises) turn most guys on. Eye contact, attention to sensitive spots, and confident handling of their guy's junk make blowjobs deeply satisfying. Finally allowing relief through oral is such a turn-on and if she then also says your cum tastes amazing—jackpot.

How Deep Can a Girl Blowjob a Guy?

It varies widely. Some women easily enjoy deep-throating and handle a guy's junk with minimal effort. Others have limits due to gag reflex or comfort level. Deep doesn’t always equal better. Let her set the depth, especially if you’ve recently started dating, and she'll feel confident, sexy, and more eager.

Does Giving a Blowjob Create a Stronger Intimate Connection Than Penetrative Sex?

It definitely can! For many women, oral sex feels even more intimate than penetrative sex, because it involves complete trust, vulnerability, and focused attention on their partner’s pleasure. Women often love insisting on oral as a way to deepen emotional bonds, strengthen intimacy, and help stress fall away. But remember—this heightened intimacy means negative experiences can cause hell reactions, so always respect boundaries and communicate openly.
