Introduction to Spit Play

Spitting during sex squicks a lot of people out, understandably. In fact, spitting in general tends to gross most people out, and doing so during what’s supposed to be an intimate encounter, logically, would tend to put most people off as well. But as we know these days, there are very few boundaries many people won’t cross when they’ve both got all of those hormones coursing through their bodies mid-fuck.
Spitting on your partner during sex.
Historically, spitting on someone is one of the penultimate insults. You show incredible disdain or disrespect for anyone you spit on; you’re treating them as dirt or subhuman. And it’s almost universal. I’m not aware of any culture on the planet that views being spat on as a positive experience.
For most people, their first exposure to spit play comes from having seen it in porn. And while I get irritated at people using porn to supplant legitimate sex education, porn can and does fulfill a role as sexual fantasy fodder for many people. So it’s not uncommon for people to want to emulate something they’ve seen in a video they find interesting or erotic. And in my opinion, as long as both partners are willing to give it a shot, who cares how degrading or disgusting anyone else might think that is.
Like many other “degrading” acts you see in porn, you almost invariably see it manifested as men spitting on women. But from my conversations with various people about this, spitting appears to be a bit more egalitarian in nature than, say, slapping. One woman told me she and her boyfriend routinely spit on each other during aggressive fucking sessions. He gets just as much out of her spitting in his face as she does from him doing her when their sex play gets really hot...
