This post will be a candid discussion on facials, for those who feel comfortable discussing the topic. If for some reason you don't know what a facial is, see this Wikipedia entry (NSFW).

Facials tend to polarize people: either they like them or hate them (giving or receiving). In the porn industry it is certainly a money-maker in both straight and gay movies, and a lot of DVD covers display them.

I think among those who like to give or receive them, there is an element of either dominating the partner, or being dominated by the partner, which seems to be the motivating force.

But those who dislike them object for the same basic reason, they are considered demeaning in one way or another.

So what say you? Is this something you think about, engage in, have experimented with, fantasize about, or categorically refuse to do. If so, why?

Has this act ever been a source of conflict between you and your partner(s)?

If you do respond and your gender is not discernable by your screen name, it may be helpful if you state if you are male or female, as well as straight, bi, or gay.

Also, I expect everyone to respect everyone else's views and experiences. Please do not berate others who have different views.
