Because sometimes, giving a blow job is hard work (oh, you know what I mean).

A lot of women say if you’re bored giving your guy a BJ, it’s a direct reflection of how you feel about him. Meanwhile, that is such a load of… well, you know. You can love him all you want, but there comes a time in every relationship where giving a blow job takes longer than expected, or worse: jaw pain, cotton mouth, or that ultra-sensitive gag reflex of yours kicks in.

As Samantha Jones once said: “Honey, they don’t call it a job for nothing.” And just because you’re a little curmudgeony over the fact that this job doesn’t come with coffee, wifi, or a comfy place to sit, it doesn’t mean you don’t love him anymore—it just means you need more interesting ways to keep your mind busy.

Here are 6 ways to step up your BJ game strictly for your own entertainment:

1. Have a snack

If you know you’re going to be down there for a while, throw some sexy foods into the mix so you can take subtle breaks when jaw pain strikes, avoid cotton mouth, and get your recommended servings of fruit and fiber.

2. Play Magic 8 Ball

Here’s how the game works: Perform eight shallow sucks, just taking in the tip of his penis, then treat him to one deeper one. Next, seven shallow sucks and one deeper one, and so on—you know, until he’s spent.

3. Never do the same move twice

Here’s the thing about giving a blow job: If you think it’s boring, then he’s going to think it’s boring—especially if all you’re doing is that bobbing for apples thing, patiently waiting for it to be over. Study up in between your searches for cat memes and videos and add to your repertoire of moves. I’m pretty sure when you tell him it’s time for a “study session” he’ll tear off his pants before you’ve even finished the sentence.

4. Change your scenery

Maybe it’s not so much your fellatio skills that are causing you problems—maybe it’s where you’re giving a blow job that’s the issue. Amp up the excitement factor by using changes in location—and if you’re feeling particularly daring, take your performance on tour.

5. Throw on some vibrating panties

Because let’s face it: Once he’s done, he’s going to be pretty much useless.

6. Go exploring

Since we’re all about multitasking, who’s to say your hands can’t do a little exploring—on his bod or your own—while your mouth is on lockdown. Make it a full-on sensory experience.

Come on, spill: How do you pass the time when you’re giving a blow job?
