-Fellatio Course - Lesson 8
---------------------------------------------------------------------- LESSON EIGHT: No Gagging, Please. Today we will practice mastering physical reaction that must be alleviated before the art of deep penetration can fully be enjoyed. The natural tendency of the body to gag when a foreign object such as a deeply thrusting cock being forced down your throat. You can overcome this tendency by completely relaxing your throat at moment the insertion is made. It is equally important that you maintain this relaxation during the entire deep throating. Let him put his cock down your throat and hold it still while you find the most comfortable way to proceed. Because of your position you will not be able to move or to offer him any greater stimulation than simply keeping your mouth tightly closed around his throbbing cock. If you are able try to stimulate his underbelly with your tongue, do it! You will only be able to relax and take his cock in this way if you completely thrust your partner. Your partner is in full control. He must initiate and maintain all the motion. This is the only exercise in which you relinquish your control of the situation to your partner. He will relish this for the simple fact that for the first time he can insert his cock as deeply down your throat as he wants to. Now your partner begins an in and out movement that is just like fucking. He should start slowly, especially if this is a completely new experience for the two of you. After all if he hurts you he cuts himself off from one of the great pleasures in life. His only other requirement during this exercise is to keep the motion in the same direction throughout this oral exercise as there is simply no leeway for him to vary the motion from side to side. One other word of caution. Don't let your partner get carried away at the moment he starts to cum. At that spectacular moment he will be able for the first time to thrust his cock all the way inside your oral cavity and that is the most important lesson of this exercise! His only other requirement during the exercise is to keep the motion in the same against your lips as he cums. Because of your position in bed you will not be faced with the problem of swallowing his cum. And this is not just because he has a condom on his dick. The reason is because he has gotten his cock BEYOND your gag reflex! Without the rubber his cum would shoot directly into your stomach! If both you and your partner understand what it is that you are trying to do as well as the possible problems that may "cum" up along the way no harm or discomfort will happen to either of you. It is possible that not everyone will learn the "deep throat" technique but this inability does not make you any less a cocksucker. You must allow your throat to relax completely while your partner is thrusting his cock this deeply down your throat. To do this long enough for your partner to completely get it off is very difficult and may require practice beyond this day. It may be that you will be able to take your partner completely down your throat, but you will not be able to maintain proper relaxation of your throat to until he shoots his load. Hopefully your partner will understand that this is not a rejection of him or of what he is offering you, and it is my sincere desire that you not stop here and think that you will never master the "deep throat" technique. Continue to practice this lesson. I know couples who have devoted ten months to this lesson alone. Continue to practice this technique because your practice will allow you to take his cock deeper into your throat each time and for longer periods of time. Ultimately you will succeed. If you have the desire you will get this one down pat!

George of Boston (Boston Bill)
Dear George, I feel that I should add my own $.02 worth by saying that after you get used to deep throating, and the deep breathing that allows you keep from gagging, you can begin to rotate your head and throat while immersed in your partners cock. After you master controlling the gag reflex you can begin to suck from the very tip to the base repeatedly, making sure to take a deep breath when you are at the head of your partner's cock. I hope this info brings pleasure to many couples, just remember to take deep breaths and hold them as often as possible.
cu, The story of Hadrian and Antinous is seen by some as a real-life version of the Greek myth of Zeus and Ganymede. Zeus was king of the gods and ruler of the sky; arbiter of human destiny. The Romans knew him as Jove in their adaptation of the Greek pantheon of gods whom they renamed and made their own. The acceptance of homosexuality in the Greek world as a natural predisposition in man was "comfortable" because of its support in their spiritual legends, where sexual love between male figures was clearly recognized. It was a bit less comfortable among the Romans, who "borrowed" the lore from the Greeks. Even in the Hebrew scriptures, some kind of arguable sexual duality is implied in the first story of Creation (ending in Genesis 2:3, after which a later author's version changes the name of God, and where some purists say the "false" story of Creation begins) when on the last working day (the sixth of seven) Genesis 1:27 records that "...God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Was Greek, Roman, Hebrew, whatever, man comprised of a dual sexual nature (using females for the breeding business, and males for fun and romance) because he sprang from the brow of bisexual god(s), or because he was "born," "created," "originated," or "evolved" as a bisexual and created the gods in his own image for comfort and support? Which came first -- the chicken, or the egg? Will we ever know? Does a falling tree make noise when no one is in the forest to hear? Whatever arguments exist pro and con the nature or naturalness of homosexuality, the fact is that cognizance of it as an operative element of human behavior (men and women) has been around as long as mankind can remember itself in story and song, oral or written down. Thus, it has intrinsic value and should be respected. It won't go away, no matter the hatred or contempt it may inspire among those too ignorant or too contrary to understand. For nearly 3,000 years, Greek poet Homer's story of Troy in "The Iliad" has sung to the world that the great god Zeus was at least partially gay and that he loved the beautiful Ganymede with such passion as to make him change form and sweep down out of the sky to kidnap his darling from the world of men and take him back to Greek Heaven to live with him. The magic of Homer's tale of silverfox romance still played well to Greek audiences 400 years later in the playwright Euripides' "The Phoenician Women." "Erichthonios was the richest of mortal men. He had a son, Tros, who was lord of the Trojans, and to Tros in turn were born three sons unfaulted, Ilos, and Assaracus, and god-like Ganymede who was the loveliest born of the race of mortals." (Homer) Up among the gods, Zeus looked down and found himself burning with love for Ganymede. Deciding to fly down to Ida, where Ganymede was surrounded by his friends, he took the form of the eagle which bore his thunderbolts. Casting shafts of lightning as he flew, he raised a furious storm that darkened the sky. Under the cover of the tempest, he pounced and grabbed Ganymede in his talons and swept him away.
The other immortals honored Ganymede for his beauty and accepted him into their midst, of course, if for no other reason than that he was the favorite of the boss, again like the Roman court of Hadrian quickly accepting the favored status of Antinous, his favored one. And again, as with Sabina, Hadrian's wife (perhaps a lesbian) who despised Antinous, Ganymede was greeted on Mount Olympus by Zeus's wife, Hera, with scorn. Perhaps to teach his wife a lesson, Zeus, to make a place for Ganymede, sent away Hebe, Hera's daughter and his, who until then had poured the drinks at the divine feasts, saying she was clumsy and had stumbled while serving. "As for Tros (father of Ganymede), a cruel sorrow filled his heart, and he knew not where the divine tempest had taken his son. He cried endless tears. It came to pass that Zeus felt pity for him, and gave him in exchange for his son a pair of white, brisk-stepping horses, deathless and able to walk on water, the very same that carried the immortals. Zeus sent them with Hermes, the messenger, who also let him know his boy was now among the gods, immortal and forever young. His heart was filled with joy, and he drove his horses as fast as the wind." (Euripedes) Meanwhile, Hera, ever more jealous of lovely Ganymede, nagged her husband so much he grew fed up, and promised to send him away. Only later did she find out that Ganymede left Olympus to take his place among the stars, as the constellation Aquarius, where he can be seen to this day, still pouring nectar as he had at dinners for the gods.
And so did Antinous thousands of years later find
his way to the stars, where his soul was said to
shine down on Hadrian in those years the old
man waited on earth to rejoin his love.
His memoirs, begun in 1558 and abandoned in 1562, were published posthumously under the title "The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini." As noted by one biographer, "His amours and hatreds, his passions and delights, his love of the sumptuous and the exquisite in art, his self-applause and self-assertion, make this one of the most singular and fascinating books in existence." A film based on his public persona, 1934's "The Affairs of Cellini," an idiotic sex farce starring Fredric March and Constance Bennett, portrayed him as a pretty-boy rogue and ladies' man who was only incidentally a brilliant goldsmith and sculptor. My instincts tell me when I look at these two sculptures and his others of men that his Hollywood reputation does not ring true. The reflections in his golden eye -- mirrored, in turn, in his works -- were images of love, and those loves were male. It is more likely that his models were the real "affairs" of Cellini.
------------------------------ Ben-I really want to take a moment here to acknowledge the immense amount of work that goes into producing the series of posts you have been treating us with lately about gay history. I wonder whether anyone on list has read either Arthur Evans' Witchcraft and the Gay counterculture or conner's Blossom of Bone? You certainly should, if you haven't

[snip] Actually, most scholars consider these to be two quite different versions of the same Hebrew and Middle Eastern creation story, one using the name of god as "JHWH" (compare with English Jehovah), and the other using the name of god as "El" (compare with Arabic "Allah". Then later, an editor conflated the two stories without changing the name of either deity, regarding them as the same God. Other traces of the two story business occur in relation to the flood, where one version says Noah loaded two of each animal on the Ark, and in the other version he loaded seven of each species into the Ark. This "two-name-for-God-scheme" is obscured in some English translations. There is nothing obscure about in the older Hebrew. My earliest seminary assignment was to take the modern version of the bible and unscramble these two intertwined versions on the basis of the internal linguistic evidence of the document, re-creating the original two versions. Should I call that de-conflating them, or deflating them, since they were no longer conflated?

Lifting Ganymede on his back, the eagle flew
with him to Mount Olympus, where he changed
back into the god Zeus and made Ganymede his
cup-bearer (often a euphemism for "lover"
among the Greeks and Romans -- Antinous
started out as a page and cup-bearer for
Hadrian).
These two statues, one in marble, the other in
bronze, represent Zeus (the eagle) and
Ganymede as portrayed by Florentine artist
Benvenuto Cellini, 1500-1571. Cellini was an
enigmatic, larger-than-life figure of the Italian
Renaissance: a celebrated sculptor, goldsmith,
author and soldier, but also a hooligan and even
an avenging killer. One of his most acclaimed
works is his bronze, "Ganymede on the Eagle,"
shown here on the right.
