The process of passing through the throat, then the
esophagus, of different forms of
nutriments and not only.
A. From a non-sexual perspective, we swallow on daily basis food, drinks and our own saliva. When in need we also swallow pills or other forms of medicine. Accidentally different objects may end up being swallowed as well (particular
high risk for small children).
B. From a sexual perspective, it has two meanings:
1. Swallowing male/
female cum (in general), however mainly referring to sperm. Sperm swallowing is a touchy issue, especially in hetero couples. Men see it as a proof of love - and can be hurt or unsatisfied if she spits it out. Most women however have a hard time adjusting to the taste (often quite bitter). But that's maybe one of the very reasons why men appreciate women who swallow: "Her love for me and/or craving for
my seed is stronger than whatever
taste it might have".
2. Allowing the head of the penis penetrate the throat during oral sex. Also known as deep-throating, the act requires lots of practice before it can be achieved. While cum swallowing is considered an act of love, deep-throating is mainly regarded as sexual performance.
