I don't think I really dislike the taste; I feel like it's 90% mental, but I don't know how to change my mindset. Interestingly, the other night I swallowed, and his cum tasted like strawberry! We couldn't figure out why, but he was licked clean!

Has anyone had any luck conquering this fear/distaste?
I see two problems you need to look at separately.

1. Firstly your mind set on cum and changing how you feel about the taste. While your going down think about the act in really postive terms. Ok so it sounds silly but positive affirmations work here really well.
If you feel alittle squeemish dont focus on not feeling squeemish focus on how nice the skin feels in your mouth or how excited you are that he is really getting alot of pleasure as you do this. Tell your self that the moment of him cumming his your reward. And tell yourself that you love cum.
Dont worry about if you dont feel that way at first. Your feelings will come trailing along behind your thinking. As your in training in this perhaps he will allow you to use your hands so you have alittle bit more control. You dont need your training set back by feeling choked. Taking everthing step by step takes alot of pressure of you and you may be surprised how quickly you progress.
I think wanting cum to taste sweet so it is more pallatible is a more difficult approach. Cum (so Ive heard) taste more salty like skin after swimming. Thats a clean kind of taste to that and pleasant in its on right.

2. Dealing with any feelings of distaste is the first step towards stopping your fear of gagging.
However there really is a physical component and every one is different, the way you breath (mouth breather or nose) how sensitive your gag reflex is, if any initial good training has been set back by a too enthusiastic Master with a "jackhammer" technique. (Bad Masters! Bad!)
Do you swallow as his cumming? Bad move usually if your new to it. It interfers with your gag reflex. Your better of keeping it all in your mouth until he is finished then swallow. This usually makes a huge difference , its much easier.
However if he cums huge amounts then at least while your training he could just give you part of his load. Being able to breathe and swallow huge amounts would involve a different technique. You can work on that later. Same as trying to deep throat, just try one thing at a time dont overburden yourself with every technique at once.

I should probably break this down into more step by step lesson form but Im just too indolent and then people might mistake me for a perv! (couldnt have that).
If your impatient you could always just surf the net for hypnosis mp3s. They work too. However beware you may find yourself begging to do it alot if you train yourself up in that way.
Not sure if any of this helps but have fun trying!
Feel free to PM me with any success you may have and if you find a new technique...well share it!
