Some would argue that getting a blowjob requires no effort at all – you just lie back and enjoy yourself – and they're not far wrong. But if you would like a repeat service, it's best to think about ways to make the experience a good one for the bloke who's going down on you too, so here are some tips.

Don't be afraid to let them know what you're feeling and what you like. You can let them know how much you're enjoying yourself by making appropriate grunts and heavy breathing – that way they'll know what's driving you crazy with desire, and what just drives you crazy.

Don't thrust too hard, especially not at first. Their mouth and throat will probably take a while to get used to your cock, so start gently and respond to the way they react to you. If you're both comfortable, you can enjoy the experience for longer.

Most people are going to prefer to suck a cock that's clean and smells good. Wash carefully, particularly if you have a foreskin.

Having someone suck on your cock carries no real risk of you catching HIV, but it is possible to pick up other infections, such as gonorrhoea or syphilis. Wearing a condom when you get your cock sucked can prevent most of these risks. However, as most people choose not to do this, regular sexual health check-ups will make sure you know about any STIs you may have picked up.
