FLM, should you return to this thread, I want you to know, early on, the discussion ceased to be about you. I think you were treated rather unfairly.
The thread began:
I've looked at various comments about oral sex on this site and have heard the old saying from some guys "a mouth is just a mouth" when you're receiving oral sex. Do the guys here think this is really true?
A Fair enough question: A mouth is just a mouth sounds like something a guy might say. I cant say I actually ever heard a guy say it. Eight guys responded prior to FLMs first post. Basically they said the girl or guy would have to be attractive. FLM addressed the subject from his perspective, that of the mouth. In his post, FLM posted a complex sentence describing how a guy with a big dick might filter a partner, followed by his writing and the mouth is nothing other than just a mouth. If the guy (or girl) is hot, the quality of the blowjob doesnt really seem to matter.
I interpreted his words meaning a hot guy will pick a hot guy based on personal filters not because of the mouth which after all is just a mouth. I interpret FLM as saying what I believe, the quality of a blowjob wont matter as much as the sexiness of the person giving it.
Others seemed to interpret FLM literally, without the context I read, saying a mouth is just a mouth.
Hung Jon begged to disagree while seeming to agree with my interpretation by saying:
I disagree. When I'm with a person who I think is attractive, it's not about a "good blowjob". It has nothing to do with how the person uses his or her mouth.
Jon followed up introducing the reaction to FLM screen name which became such an issue.
I followed, seeing it pretty much as I thought FLM did, asserting I needed to be into the guy if only on flimsy evidence. Seaside expressed pleasure reading how many guys needed some connection. Hud01 and maxcok weighed in on behalf of good technique. In the context of this thread, I interpret good technique as closer to a mouth is just a mouth. Not everyone did.
Meanwhile, in his second post in the thread, FLM said his screen name was meant to serve as an accessible description.
My screen name is simply meant to serve as an accessible description, just to give an indication of the sensation, and has nothing to do with presumed objectification or lack of connection. And just for argument's sake, how is this any different from having the word "Hung" in one's screen name or posting pictures of one's feet or six-pack abs? Nothing wrong with it at all, mind you, but not necessarily indicative of nobler intent.
Subsequently he posted:
Or does the BJ simply become GREAT if the person giving it has the necessary requirements for the receiver to make that connection or become attracted?
Objectivity or universal qualities become unreliable or even unnecessary when the mind decides otherwise... so I guess Sheryl Crow was right after all: "If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad"

Hmmm? Fleshlightmouth, I think you do protest too much. I just checked out your links and I would say that you are definitely contradicting yourself. Why would you have so many videos of you sucking so many people? Are these guys your lovers or boyfriends? Pardon me, but you seem a tad bit compulsive to me. Is this part of your lifestyle or what? Below is your ad, and I quote.
Huge Cocks would choose FleshlightMouth!
Coming soon to an area near you
Skilled deepthroater for extra long and thick cocks, and HUGE shooters!
Nice guy with very talented throat, looking for XXL hung guys who love to get sucked and make new deepthroat videos with me.
Thanks for all your comments and friend requests!
Sorry but I couldn't bring myself to actually watch any of your videos. Scary stuff.

FLM responded:
Definitely not making them for you.... And why does this discussion have to veer into personal attacks?
Subsequently worshipyourcock, who describes himself as 100% gay, challenged NEWREBA asking why she was judging people. She responded by observing that she thought the behavior FLM described and advertised was abnormal, emotionally destructive, and de-humanizing.
Tardis 69, who does not identify his sexuality, objected to this as a personal attack. Jon observed that FLMs profile and links are gross and used the words macabre and bizarre in description. Self described 99% gay, hilaire objected to NEWREBAs conclusions. There were some back and forth posts by the same people. 60% gay trav objected to Jons use of the word macabre. 99% straight female asked who are we to judge. 100% gay worshipyourcock weighed back in with a critical under the circumstances - observation of NEWREBAs photo. 100% gay Cunning Stunt agreed with a post defending FLM against personal debate.
At this point, OP, NEWREBA posted the following:
Wow! People certainly have strong feelings about this topic, or maybe I should say, certain people's ideas or feelings about it. I have noticed one obvious thing and that is this: self-identified gay guys are extremely defensive about my reactions to posts. I'm wondering if my reactions are perceived as homophobic or especially critical concerning gay guy's sexual practices? I've noticed that it's practically all gay guys who have supported FleshlightMouth's attitudes and practices. I have also noticed that most "straight" guys have less of, what I'd call, a sexist view which is an interesting surprise to me. I have to say that I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to gay or bi men's sexual practices so I have been really surprised by what I've seen and heard here. I've never seen a profile like FleshlightMouth's before, so I have to say that I was really shocked by it. I guess I'd also say that I'm no prude. I'm not moralistic or religious. For me the "mouth is just a mouth" idea is comparable to" a pussy is just a pussy", where the woman is relegated to some sub-human position. For me it's more about human dignity and worth.
Prior to NEWREBAs observation that FLM protested too much, gay and straight men, alike, tilted heavily to the idea that a mouth is not just a mouth. I interpreted FLM saying the same. It was subsequent to an assertion of his alleged defensiveness that four gay males, one straight female, and one male, who does not self identify, objected to critical words used to describe FLM, while a single poster, who is primarily straight, largely shared NEWREBAs observations about FLM. These do not lead to NEWREBAs conclusions. I dont think raising objections to the description of a fellow member as abnormal, emotionally destructive, de-humanizing, macabre or bizarre, is being extremely defensive. I did not find a gay vs. straight gestalt or whatever with respect to objectification of mouth relegating anyone to sub-human position. People who objected were mostly gay men, not entirely, while only one person shared NEWREBAs argument.
Were someone religious they might well object to many posts at LPSG. Were someone prudish, they might.
I expect a poster at LPSG would get some grief claiming a pussy is just a pussy. Asking straight posters if they saw women that way, we would hope their responses would be much as straight and gay members have responded about a mouth.
The OP raised the question. I think she selectively gleaned responses to find an answer. NEWREBA, since you raised the odd issue of this odd wording a mouth is just a mouth and found something peculiar in you interpretation of the responses, are you sure you did not arrive with an agenda?
