Why I Don’t Go Down on My Husband But He Goes Down on Me

Oral sex is intimate. Like, way more intimate than it gets credit for. And in female-led relationships, especially ones with cuckolding, chastity, or dominance at the center, oral takes on a whole new meaning. It takes on a complex layer of submission. Looking down at your partner as he or she places his or her mouth on your genitals and performs for you. This is a one way street, the tongue isn’t a pleasure organ. The tongue gives pleasure and the giver knows they are kneeling down in a giving, submissive role.

So that leads me into what I want to talk about today, something I get asked about often:
Why do so many women in FLRs or cuckold relationships stop giving their husbands oral sex—but expect it in return? The answer to that friends is one sided submission, sensually and powerfully pleasing your partner.


Oral Sex Isn’t Just a Sex Act—It’s a Power Dynamic

In the mainstream world, oral sex is often packaged as a mutual thing. You go down on me, I go down on you. Fifty-fifty. Tit for tat. But in my world—and maybe yours too—that kind of sexual balance isn’t the goal.

When I go down on a man, I’m using my mouth, my time, my sensuality, my submission. And that, is a gift. A luxury. Something sacred. Something I only want to do when I’m feeling that overwhelming, primal, lusty hunger for a man who truly turns me on.

Sorry, Kev. I love you. I love our dynamic. I love our life. But do I want your cock in my mouth? Probably not. Not because I’m being mean. But because I’m being real. That type of oral sex doesn’t suit our dynamic. I only want to do a blow job when it doesn’t seem like a job at all.


Why He Still Goes Down on Me

This is the part most of us ladies in FLRs fully embrace. In a relationship where the woman leads, pleasure flows to her. Mouths serve her. Her body is the altar, and oral sex is part of that worship.

When my husband kneels and opens his mouth for me, he’s not just giving me an orgasm. He’s showing reverence. He’s surrendering control. He’s focusing his full attention on me and making sure every stroke of his tongue is about my pleasure.

It’s not “I scratch your back, you scratch mine.” It’s “You serve. I receive.”

And you know what? He loves it. The more I take, the more he gives. The more I withhold, the more devoted he becomes.

That’s the beauty of oral submission.


A Brief History of Oral Sex

Here’s something fascinating: oral sex has always carried layered meanings. In ancient cultures, it was often linked to worship, femininity, and taboo. In Mesopotamia, sacred temple priests & priestesses were said to offer oral pleasure as part of fertility rituals. In Ancient Greece and Rome? Well, let’s just say oral wasn’t considered proper for a “respectable” woman—unless she was pleasing a man of higher status.

Sound familiar?

Fast-forward to the Victorian era and oral sex was practically erased from polite society. It was something done in brothels, not bedrooms. It was seen as dirty, degrading, animalistic. And honestly? That stigma has carried over in quiet ways, especially when it’s a woman giving and not receiving.

But here’s the shift: in modern FLRs, we’re reclaiming that taboo. We’re turning it into symbolism. Into submission. Into something far more powerful than the sex act itself


Oral Is Submission

When a woman kneels, opens her mouth, and takes a man in—especially fully, throat and all—that’s a deeply submissive act. It requires vulnerability, focus, and surrender. In a female-led relationship, that dynamic is reversed. The man submits. The woman receives. Simple as that.

My mouth isn’t for everyone. It’s not a vending machine. I use my mouth to speak, to kiss, to tease, and—when I choose—to please. And that choice is mine alone. Giving oral to someone can feel like borrowing energy I don’t have. I’d rather save that for people and situations that light me up.


Giving Oral Feels Like a Reward

And I don’t hand out rewards lightly. I don’t do pity sex. I don’t do obligation head. When I get on my knees, it’s because I want to be there. Not because he “earned” it, not because it’s fair. It’s because I crave it.

If I don’t want him cumming, I sure as hell don’t want him anywhere near my mouth. Taking oral off the table is one of the easiest ways to reinforce chastity, denial, or orgasm control. I’m not opening that door, and that boundary keeps things focused on my pleasure not his.


Contrast Makes the Dynamic Hotter

I want my husband to ache for things he can’t have. I want him to watch me slide my lips over Erik’s cock and feel that burn in his chest—not from jealousy, but from devotion. I want him to know that my mouth is only for men I desire. That kind of contrast makes our dynamic even more magnetic.


It’s About Power, Not Pity

Some husbands beg for oral as a form of validation. They think it proves they’re still desired. But in our FLR? That desire flows in a different direction. Kev proves his devotion by giving—not receiving. He licks my thighs while Erik gets my lips. That’s not punishment. That’s hierarchy.

And I’m not going to force it. I don’t owe anyone my mouth. Especially not the man who agreed to follow my lead. I adore Kev, but he’s in a different role. He’s not there to receive. He’s there to adore, to serve, to support. And yes, to lick.


Does He Deserve It?

This one might sting a bit, but it’s real. Erik earns my lust. He dominates, he commands, he takes. That’s hot. That’s oral-worthy. Kev nurtures, comforts, worships. Also hot—but a very different energy which doesn’t translate to being served by me. Nurturing energy translates to serving me.


It Keeps His Ego in Check

Let’s be honest—many men view oral as an ego stroke. “She wants me so badly she’ll do that for me.” In cuckold dynamics or FLRs, we strip that illusion away. His worth isn’t tied to how I make him feel sexually. It’s how well he serves my sexuality.


Sometimes It’s Just Not the Dynamic

Okay, this one is simple: not every cock is worth putting in my mouth. If he’s locked, flaccid, or just not impressive? No thank you. I’ve got better things to do with my tongue—like ride Erik’s while Kev watches, hands in his lap. Pretending or wishing that it was his, if he gets everything, what does he have to long for? Longing for or wanting for something is a big part of our dynamic.


It Symbolizes Who’s in Charge

When I give oral, I choose to serve. But in an FLR? I’m the one being served. Always. If oral becomes part of the routine, it happens on my terms. And if I only want to give it to one man, that’s my prerogative. That line in the sand makes the hierarchy in our bed that much clearer.

Fair doesn’t exist in my bedroom. Balanced sex is for vanilla couples still trying to negotiate whose turn it is to finish. I’m not interested in that. I’m interested in feminine sovereignty, devotional energy, and sexual asymmetry. I give what I want, when I want, to who I want


The Sacred Act of Receiving

There’s something profound about laying back and being worshipped—especially by a man who knows that giving is his role. The moment my husband kneels between my thighs, he becomes more than a man. He becomes mine. A tool for my pleasure. A symbol of service. A mirror reflecting my erotic power.

And when he’s watching me give that power to another man? A man who takes it, commands it, and fills me with it? Oral sex is power and my mouth is mine to give.

  1. As a bull I can relate to the power-dynamic the article describes, as it also applies to blowjobs and fluffings I have received from cuckolds. 

    As a general rule, I don’t want a blow job from a guy when I’m seeking sexual pleasure and arousal. In fact, I was a very, very reluctant participant the first time a cuck took my cock into his mouth. I agreed only because the hotwife really begged to see it happen. But in that moment, oddly, I felt myself enjoying an unexpected adrenaline rush. Not so much one of physical stimulation, but the mental aphrodisiac of power and control. 

    I sensed and shared the same erotic pleasure being enjoyed at that moment by the hotwife – who was standing there orchestrating the event. Watching her husband timidly kneel before me at her instruction became a turn on, along with seeing the nervous excitement in his eyes as she verbally coaxed and controlled him: “Come on, cuckie, you can do this” she would say.   

    As I looked down at him – a man 15 years my older – my mind reveled in the power play that was unfolding as the wife steered my cock into his gaping-wide mouth. “Not only am I going to take your wife” I thought to myself, “but you are going to willingly acknowledge my authority and accept it” through a very primal display of submission.

  2. So at first I was kinda shocked and saprized……. Really 🥺 wow ….

    Then I thought about it 🧐 …. If Kev really wants a BJ he can’t go to you in that he’s on the cusp of doing something drastic if he really wants one …. This feeds into the power play if you can head it off at the pass ….

    Or if he does step across that line to get one he’s got to keep it secret or separate from you …. That to lends to the power play

    Or if you expect that he is getting his needs met somewhere else then that’s another person who serves a person who serves you

    When you really think about power play which this at its core is all about everything leads to more power play and each power play leads to more risk play ….. That’s when it hit me risk play is a big part of the game

    It’s all risk play something you haven’t talked about hinted at yes but talked about no …. I think I understand not something I’d play with but I think I get it 🤔

    • We have great communication and his needs are important and also want to support the dynamic that we’ve built together so there is a balance. Kev doesn’t feel the need to fulfill needs elsewhere but we often check in and see where his needs are.

      • Well communication is a given you would have to …..

        But I was looking more into the very core of what makes it existing risk and power play not so much Kev wanted something just the play at work and all the levels that go with it

  3. As always, to each their own. Mistress K. says, “never say never”. By that she means that on some things, she doesn’t want to be restricted in the future by a rule in place just because it is in place. For Her, it’s simple … the answer is no, unless she decides otherwise in the moment. In terms of blow jobs, she enjoys giving me an occasional blow job because she likes it. In that respect, it remains a power dynamic because it would only happen because she wants to do it … to me. It’s not that often, and sometimes she’ll even let me orgasm, and if that happens, she finishes me with her hand.

    • I thought something similar while reading this article. “Guys if you want blowjobs , never submit”.

      I know they have their certain dynamic and they all like it. But for outsiders what they see is : He is submissive so he doesn’t gets that type of sex he likes. Conclusion : Don’t submit if you want a fulfilled sex life.

      I don’t judge Emma, Kev or Erik for what they do and have, they are all adults who can talk about their needs and that’s what they are doing. But for outsiders Kevs situation may looks horrifying and makes them think : Oh…so that is the cost of an FLR or submitting to a woman ? Well maybe i shouldn’t get into something like that

  4. As someone that has had a cuckold/asymmetrical sexual fetish that I can trace back to before puberty. I can 100% understand from Kevin‘s perspective finding this type of arrangement extremely excited. I think you laid out very well what you enjoy about a one-sided oral relationship. As your dynamic exists today everything you wrote here makes sense and seems very consensual. I am interested what if Kevin had a change of heart? Would you be willing to meet his changing needs or is the dynamic placed above that?

  5. To be honest. i understand that power play dynamic but i disagree with some points made in that article.

    Personally i don’t view oral sex in the light of as something degrading or in any way submissive. For me its a question of “how can i make my partner feel good?”. There is no though about who is in charge its just service. As I said I don’t view oral sex as anything dirty or degrading, quite the opposite. Its a, like the article says, sensual way of giving pleasure. But its although a show of trust from the receiving partner, because that giving partner could easily uses his or hers teeth to devastating effect. People don’t often think about that they offer their private parts into a maw of teeth that are designed to chew through nearly anything fleshy or plantlike, when they think about oral sex .

    So there is nothing submissive about giving oral at all, in my view its an act of gentle dominance. Its a show of trust and surrender from the receiving partner to trust their most private parts to the giving partner for pleasure and or taking care of them.

    Maybe its because i am bisexual but i don’t understand how oral sex can be viewed as degrading. I mean i understand if you don’t like giving it because IT IS work after all. Work that doesn’t give you an instant gratification yourself. But that symbolic value that has been given to it through time…it baffles me.

  6. Wow. The sheer cruelty and contempt of it. ‘Hey, Eric, you’re the man. Kev, I’ve got you in the bag and I’ll give you just enough scraps to keep you begging and locked in supplication. That’s your role Kev. Second class servant to me as princess.” Emma, I’ve heard you say that sometimes you leave the kink at the door. this seems at odds to that advice. You say you talk often, but is that in the kink context, or as real people who supposedly love one another? Don’t you sometimes want Kev to feel the full spectrum of intimacy, rather than constant longing for what is withheld? You say your dynamic is ‘consensual’, but what if Kev ever requested a less one-sided relationship? Would you be able to overcome your contempt for what you’ve ‘evolved’ him into?

  7. Beautiful article, Emma. In my marriage, oral sex is for my wife ONLY. I wouldn’t even think of asking for it. I love your phrase, “the more I take, the more he gives.” That is my marriage in a nutshell. I am addicted to pleasing my wife orally. And over the years, this dynamic really has reinforced my submission. Thank you for another wonderful article!

    • I agree with your comment “I love your phrase, “the more I take, the more he gives.”. Getting oral from my Wife is never something I expect and only very rarely ask for. I do receive an occasional blowjob but ONLY ever because it’s something she wants to do, and NOT because I am entitled to one. She just happens to enjoy doing it. Whether I want one or not. I guess in that regard, I’m a lucky submissive (to her) husband.

      I don’t have a frame of reference like others here because I am not cucked. She has no desire to fuck (or suck) another man. Just me, her beloved, dutiful, obedient husband, serving her in whatever way she desires at whatever moment.

      • Sounds like you’ve got a great relationship! My wife has never been into giving oral and I’ve never been into receiving it-so we’re well matched that way. But, as I’m addicted to giving it, I never fail to be amazed and awed by her reaction to my service. I’m really verbal when I go down on her, and she really gets off on how worshipful (and grateful) I am as I tell her that I was born to be her slave. She really gets off on being the Queen, and the more turned on she gets the more I worship her! She totally owns me…

  8. I get where some of the negative comments are coming from. This dynamic certainly isn’t for everyone but it is fulfilling in it’s own way. I think you first need to accept and embrace that you don’t spark her primal desires the way other men does. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t like you or isn’t attracted to you in her own way.

    After that the door opens to different kinds of fulfillment for both. The contrast of what sex is like with the cuckold in relation to the bull has powerful erotic potential.

    Out of curiosity, are there any other sexual activities besides blowjobs you do with Erik but not with Kev?

  9. Emma sure hit a nerve with this blog post. Never seen so many comments. Over the last ten or so years. My wife has giving me a blowjob for only special occasions, maybe a couple times a year. But Lover/Bull gets a blowjob every time he makes an appearance to visit my wife. This is even happening at her work place. If he shows up, she drops to her knees. This is what is expected of her. It kinda evolved into this way of life.

    • The article writes: “My mouth isn’t for everyone. It’s not a vending machine. I use my mouth to speak, to kiss, to tease, and—when I choose—to please….” “I don’t do pity sex ….. [and] I sure as hell don’t want him [my own husband] anywhere near my mouth”   

      The article continues: “I want my husband to ache for things he can’t have. . . . I want him to know that my mouth is only for men I desire.”    [In contrast] “Erik earns my lust . He dominates. . . . [and is] oral-worthy.” 

      Taken at face value, the author does not “desire” her husband and he get nowhere close to her mouth, which (again, taking the words at their face value) means he
      does not even get a kiss. 

      I find that very sad.  

      • “Taken at face value, the author does not “desire” her husband and he get nowhere close to her mouth, which (again, taking the words at their face value) means he does not even get a kiss.”

        Precisely. Words matter, even if those words are spoken in jest … they matter, and leave a scar. I couldn’t fathom being told by my Wife that her mouth was reserved only for men that she desired, and that didn’t include me. That said, to each their own. Just because I would never be in such a marriage, it doesn’t mean others don’t cherish theirs.

      • Personally, I love giving oral. I love being able to give pleasure. Sexually, I am submissive, but I never really considered it to be a submissive activity. I can’t think of many/any places I’d rather be.

        This particular blog post depresses me. I am actually dominant in many ways. I was the head of a union and led labor management bargaining sessions and dealt with many issues which could become heated and confrontational. I have held many leadership positions. I’m 6’ 2” and have a muscular build. I played rugby, and I’ve travelled all over the world. However in terms of sex, I like to serve my Queen. In my experience most dominant women are kind and considerate people.

        This blog depresses me because, I don’t detect much respect or love coming Kev’s way. It seems more like a steady stream of selfishness, and no apparent concern for her husband, especially considering the very public way that his bottom of the hierarchy short comings are being beamed out to the entire EYM audience. There is a lot to be said for loving kindness in general with friends, family members, people in dire circumstances on the street, etc., but especially within a wife/husband relationship.

        I wonder why we are never party to Kev or Erik’s points of view. Does Erik enjoy lording it over Kev in the same way that Emma does? Are Kev and Erik friends?

        These are things I wonder about because, based on Emma’s commentary, her dynamic with Kev seems very raw, and dispassionate. Perhaps, it is written this way to lend credence to her point of view, or her theory on the topic.

        I think one weakness of this kind of blog is that you can’t listen to the voices of the participants, and there is only one point of view being presented. If this was presented as a podcast, I would imagine that we might be able to get a different take on Emma, Kev and Erik, and their concern and love for each other might be more evident.

        Anyway I hope it would be.

  10. Not entering the fray so much with this post; just giving a thumbs up and an expression of gratitude to Emma for allowing a free exchange of opinions on her site, including voices that may be critical or dissenting. I also appreciate those who express their views without personal insults, attacks, or vulgarity. Peace to all.

  11. When I met my wife, one of her many talents was blow jobs. She had been submissive most of her life and she understands what turns a guy on.
    Throughout our FLR journey, I think it’s beyond hot when she’ll torture my balls while I’m in chastity and tell me about all of her exes and her deep throat adventures.
    It just melts me

  12. I enjoyed the article. I am in a Wife Led Marriage and my wife controls and limits my orgasms to just a few a year. Therefore, I give her oral sex frequently and I love it. I don’t believe the act of oral sex itself is submissive. It is really the context and dynamics of the situation that makes it submissive. For me, I feel very submissive when I give oral sex to my wife because I am usually on my knees and she is very aggressive, holding my head with her thighs or pushing me into her sex with her hands or legs. I love it when I can barely breathe as she is getting off on my face. My favorite is when she queens me. She is so dominate in that position. It also makes me feel submissive because I know I am not going to be allowed to have an orgasm. As soon as she orgasms, she usually tells me she is done with me and tells me to leave the room. I love when she does that. It makes me feel like her sex toy.

    I would never expect oral sex from her. However, I do believe that a dominant woman can give oral sex in a dominant way to a submissive. Imagine her tying him down and ordering him not to move or thrust as she teases him with her mouth, bringing him to the brink of orgasm over and over again. She could end without allowing him to orgasm or she could allow him to cum, but only when she gives permission. Then there is always the option of making him lick up his mess.

  13. Well oral sex is an act of submission for my dominant wife and I . That’s how we always felt about it and my wife would never suck my dicklet . She hasn’t done it to any of her lovers that I’ve seen. I saw her kiss and lick the head of his cock a couple times but I never saw her really suck him off. She only dates black men so I’m sure she did it but never in front of me. I started giving oral when I was 17 when I was owned by an older dominant black man and I sucked him off all the time.Master John loved it when he fucked me he’d even pull out and cum in my mouth he always wanted me to taste and swallow his cum. It is a very special thing for a slave to do for his Master very submissive and symbolic sort of paying homage in a way.

  14. This resonate so mutch also for my posestion in my marrige!

    Me and my wife only have sex by me giving her oral sex and that submissive fealing it gives me is mindblowing.

    She somtimes use a vibrator on me or tickiling with her finger to make me squert. Somtimes she also alowe me to use my hand to make me come when Im licking her.

    For the last tre years thats been our only real sex together. What I desvovered is that this makes me staying in a submissive state and it also made her a lot more bossy and dominant toward me in every day life.

    Still she behave submissive toward other menn she like. Thats somtime been a hard strugle for me to aksept. We had our arguments and me complaining to her after we been together with her and male friends of her.

    Because of that she a couple of times later have put me hard in line in front of this male “friends”. After that I been a lot bether in knowing my place and be submissive to the situasjon and her demandings.

    Its also improwed my every day life obidience toward her. For som times now we also have began to make me where feminine panties. That also make me more atentive to my posistion.

    I can promice when I somtimes forget my place and act upp like a alfa the fealing of the pink silky thong panties inside my jeans put me in line even before she desides to put me in line.

    But I wil clearly say that our sex only by me giving her oral is the thing that must sementing her dominant and my submissive posestion in our relationship.

  15. Emma does put it pretty harshly but the bottom line is about the same as it is with me and my wife: She is always likely to give oral to a boyfriend but almost never to me.

    It has been years and years since she just spontaneously sucked my cock, which is not a dicklet by any means. On the other hand, just about every boyfriend does get oral from her — but usually only until she turns his cock over to me for more sucking as she goes back to making out with him.

    The truth is that most of the time — between me orally worshiping her and tending to her wishes for immediate intercourse after climaxing — neither of us even thinks about cock sucking when it’s just the two of us. It is all about her and that’s the way things work best for us.
