You're not alone there. I can't really explain it but I get that feeling too.

just a sudden pet theory...but i think part of it is that our mouths and faces are the most public parts of our bodies really, as well as the center for 4/5 of our senses...so to put our faces in close contact with the most private parts of our partner's body (or vice versa) is a deep level of intimacy and trust...it feels very open and vulnerable.

What you say makes a lot of sense. I wonder if there are many resources on this. Most things I have read tend to speak of Oral Sex as a fairly taboo act.

Could we say that our faces are the centre of our sensory input?

After reading the conversations that you both are having on this topic, I went to the all mighty "google" to see what others where saying. I didn't find much research on the topic but a ton of opinions. I think it would be an interesting research topic and I'd probably be one of the first to sign up :). Anyhow, I think Emmie has a really good point about the senses. I think our society has brought us up thinking that sex is the most intimate but that is not always the case. Sex Ed classes when we are younger I really believe tell us this because intercourse is what can lead to pregnancy when oral sex (for the most part) does not. The interesting thing I did find while researching this topic was that their is a substantially higher risk of STD transmission during oral sex than intercourse. It's a very interesting debate. I hope others weigh in on this.

I agree that it's the senses... combined with the most private and for some conflicting part of our bodies.

Here is someone who is looking at your most private part, examining it, smelling it, tasting it, touching and licking/sucking it, and the focus is all on you... and they have the pressure to do a good job, and it's awkward if it's dull, unskilled, or painful.

With other sexual positions if it's not ideal you could probably close your eyes and just ride it out with a little moan for effect ;-), but here the show is very focused and (uhhh) intimate... :-)
