My story, questions

[ssmsig]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd share my story as well as my questions.

I've always been interested in the idea of AF. When I was 18, I read a P*nth**se forum article by a guy who said he had been sucking his own cock for three decades. He gave some tips in the article on how to stretch for it. I was intrigued by this guy's story, especially because he said his height and measurements were the same as me (I am 5 foot 7, and my cock is 5 1/2 inches long when erect). So I decided I would go ahead and try it.

I felt a ton of shame around trying to do it (being straight, it seemed taboo for me to even have the desire), but started trying anyway when no one was home. For a week or two, I stretched everyday and tried to get my mouth toward my cock. I did it in front of a mirror to see how close I was getting each day. At first it seemed impossible, but little by little, I got closer each day.

One day I was SO close, only a couple of inches away, the most I had gotten since I started trying. Unfortunately, being young, impatient, and horny, I really tried to get down those last two inches, and I pushed much harder than I should have and ended up injuring myself. I did not have any pain but I suddenly had a tingling sensation in my hands and feet, similar to the feeling you get when your arm falls asleep after you've been sleeping on it.

Needless to say I was totally freaked out that I had fucked myself up and pinched a nerve in my neck, but I couldn't tell anyone how I had injured myself, it was too embarrassing. The tingling sensation came and went for about a week or two and eventually went away, but it was enough to scare me off from ever trying again. So I never did.

Now, at age 40, I'm considering the idea again. I'm not in the shape that I was at 18 and need to lose a few pounds, but based on some of the videos I've seen from this site I might still be a good candidate. I would have to see if I could do it without re-injuring myself, but I now have the patience for it and certainly know what I'm in for. Plus I have less shame about the idea, in fact I think if I were able to it would be a very sexually liberating experience.

I'd like to hear from some of the older guys. Did any of you start later in life, or was it something you have always done since you were young? How long does it take to get in shape for this? How many weeks/months should I expect before being able to bend that far?

Or if you think I shouldn't bother trying again given the injury risks, I'm open to hearing that also. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting, man - glad to hear you're in a good place with the shame issues; it's hard to avoid in our sex-phobic society!
Since I started when I was 11 I'm probably not the best guy for this question - any of our later-starters have any thoughts?

I'm 35, but I first did this when I was 13. I stopped doing it because I didn't think I could ever really get enough to make it pleasurable. However, when I was in college I got interested again when I saw pictures on the internet. I eventually got back to making contact when I was 28 after around six months of trying, and continued to do it until I was 33, when I briefly lost the ability.

About four months ago I was able to make contact again after nearly two years, although I don't do it as often as I used to and I've put on a few more pounds, so it's more difficult for me. The best I've been able to do recently is to lick the head. Back when I was single I could devote a lot more time to this and the best I was able to do was to get the head slightly between my teeth. Still, not too pleasurable, but it was a turn-on to do and I took pictures of myself doing this and I like looking at them.

I've had my share of back and neck strain because of this, but I did hurt my back once pretty good for about two months. I must have pinched a nerve or something, and it was uncomfortable during that time. Sitting up or laying down, I always had discomfort. However, not bad enough to go to a doctor or a chiropractor, and luckily it got better after taking it easy for a while. I don't think I have any permanent damage.

The only side effect I've experienced is I have back spasms now and then. I'm pretty sure this is from my selfing attempts. My neck is usually more sore afterward than my back though.

I never had any guilty feelings about doing it. I'm proud of my ability, although I can't tell just anyone about it because they might think I was a deviant or something. It's my body, I should be able to pleasure myself any way I want to. I'll leave the worrying to those who are homophobic. I am straight and I've never questioned that.

Man, I used to shamefully try to ss when I was a teen, ignorant of the fact that if I'd kept trying, and doing stretches, I'd eventually get there. So when I was young, I'd just jack off in the plough position and splash my face; sometimes I'd shoot right into my mouth and swallow. Never took it too seriously, or thought I could make myself more flexible. Then skip forward to 2000, when I first happened upon this site. I was totally amazed, intrigued; and this is where I learned that yoga, exercise, the right foods and giving up smoking, one (probably anyone) can get their dick in their mouth. And yes, in less than six months, I was licking my dick head! There were times I'd pushed too hard, and had a sore back and the tingling you described. My fiance was living with me, so all this SSing (and the pain), I kept well to myself. I can now suck about half my dick, and I wouldn't trade my ss sessions for a billion bucks. I'm flexible enough that I can bend over and lick the tip, without even warming up! So don't give up! Be patient, and don't smoke. Cigs really limit your breathing capacity whilst your in that extreme bend.
