Oral sex consists of all the sexual activities that involve the use of the mouth, tongue, etc., to stimulate the genitalia. It may be used as foreplay before intercourse, or as climax of a sexual act, which may also include the ingestion of semen and vaginal fluids. Ingestion of these fluids alone, without physical mouth-to-genital contact, is not considered to be oral sex.

Pleasure

Oral sex can be very pleasurable and it is often used as the principal form of sexual expression or as part of foreplay. Not only are the sexual organs sensitive and well supplied with nerve endings, the same is true of the mouth, tongue and lips, so the pleasures of oral sex are not limited to the person on the receiving end. In human sexual behavior, foreplay is physical intimacy usually at the beginning of a sexual encounter that serves to build up sexual arousal, sometimes in preparation for sexual intercourse or another act meant to bring about sexual enjoyment and orgasm. ...


Utility

In heterosexual relationships, oral sex can be a method of contraception (birth control) since pregnancy is impossible unless semen enters the vagina. Many heterosexuals choose oral or anal sex as an alternative to intercourse for this reason (although anal sex does not necessarily prevent semen from entering the vagina). Birth control is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant. ...

A report issued in September 2005 by the National Center for Health Statistics was the basis of an article in the September 26, 2005 issue of Time magazine. The report comes from the results of a computer-administered survey of over 12,000 Americans between the ages of 15 and 44, and states that over half the teenagers questioned have had oral sex. While some headlines have interpreted this as evidence that oral sex among teens is "on the rise", it should be noted that this was the first comprehensive study of its kind to examine the matter.[1] National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) is one of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. ...

In male homosexual relationships, oral sex is a major alternative to anal sex (though gay men may engage in only oral sex, only anal sex, both, or neither). Furthermore, as both partners are men, they know what oral sex feels like to a man, which may contribute significantly to pleasurable fellation. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by esthetic attraction, romantic love, or sexual desire exclusively for another of the same sex. ...


Among dedicated virgins, oral sex is also common, as to many it is perceived as "not counting" as full sex, and thus engaging in the practice does not entail the loss of virginity. In its most general sense, virginity is characterized by a state of unimpacted purity, usually stemming from a lack of experience (for example, newcomers to game Bingo could be referred to as virgins). ... A virgin is most commonly seen as a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse. ...


Techniques

Fellatio

Fellatio with mouth stimulation of the glans and manual stimulation of the rest of the penis
Fellatio with mouth stimulation of the glans and manual stimulation of the rest of the penis

A common technique of fellatio is to take the glans of the erect penis in the mouth while rhythmically caressing the rest of the penis with the hands; the testes and the shaft of the penis can also be licked with the tongue. Suction is often used to increase the pressure and friction exerted on the penis. (When the testes are taken into the mouth, the act is sometimes known as "teabagging" due to its supposed similarity to the action of dipping a teabag).

Depending on the preference of the participants, this stimulation may produce an orgasm and ejaculation of semen which may or may not be swallowed, hence the phrase "spit or swallow". It should be noted that intense sexual arousal of the penis will often produce a small quantity of fluid from the urethra at the tip of the penis prior to ejaculation. This fluid is produced by the Cowper's glands and is not semen (and has been demonstrated to contain far lower quantities of sperm than true semen). Its purpose is to cleanse the urethra and make the conditions of the urethra more suitable for ejaculation because the alkaline secretion will neutralise the acidic residual urine that might be still in the urethra and prepare it for the ejaculation of semen that may soon follow, as well as to provide lubrication for the foreskin and glans during foreplay and intercourse. An orgasm, also known as a sexual climax, is a pleasurable physical, psychological or emotional response to prolonged sexual stimulation. ... Illustration of the human male anatomy. ...

While the use of the mouth to stimulate the penis, especially the glans, is a central feature of fellatio, often the partner simultaneously stimulates the shaft of the penis with her/his hand to provide the man with the feeling of the penis being enclosed. Some authorities (such as Franklin, The Ultimate Kiss, p. 62) recommend this as the preferred and most satisfying method of providing oral sex to a man.


Some males regard the reception of oral sex as an ego boost, believing that such an act is a form of dominance over their sexual partner. Also, for some males, when their partner swallows their ejaculate, it sends a subconscious message that their partner accepts them.


The practice of passing semen from the mouth of the fellator to that of the fellatee, or to the mouth of another participant, is known as snowballing. However, if the partner is unwilling to swallow or allow the semen into their mouths (and spit it back out), a common variant consists of the fellatee ejaculating over the fellator's face/body. The slang term for this is a facial. Some couples prefer the facial as an act of sex play and not of an unwillingness to swallow. If the ejaculate is squirted on the neck/chest of the fellator, it is known as a "pearl necklace". Snowballing or semen swapping is a human sexual practice in which one person takes into their mouth the semen of another person, and then swaps it back and forth with another person through kissing or spitting. ... In a sexual context, a facial is the ejaculation of semen on the face, often of another person, typically as the climax of oral sex. ...


A technique requiring significant skill is known as deep throating, named after a 1972 pornographic movie which features it. This technique involves taking the entire erect penis in the mouth, the shaft bending slightly to allow the head of the penis to slide partially down the throat of the fellator. Deep throating is a form of oral sex, a type of fellatio in which the whole erect penis is taken into the mouth, (sometimes including the scrotum as well). ...

The practice of using the teeth covered by the lips during a fellatio is known as t-boning. Though some males find the sensation of teeth on the penis to be arousing, if done incorrectly it can be painful or too intense.


A small percentage of men have the penis length and/or body flexibility to fellate themselves, or to autofellate. Autofellatio: oral sex performed by a man on himself. ...


The common term blowjob is misleading, as blowing is not normally part of fellatio. In fact, blowing air into a partner's penis is an unhealthy practice. The opposite, sucking, is much more appropriate.


Cunnilingus

Cunnilingus
Cunnilingus

Cunnilingus is the act of using the mouth and tongue to stimulate the female genitals, especially the clitoris. The term comes from an alternative Latin word for the vulva (cunnus) and from the Latin word for licking (lingere). Some 33% of women report never or seldom achieving orgasm during intercourse, and cunnilingus is a way for many women to achieve orgasm with a partner.

As in all human sexual behaviour, the variety of techniques in cunnilingus and individual responses to them are almost endless.

Sexual behavior is a form of physical intimacy that may be directed to reproduction (one possible goal of sexual intercourse) and/or to the enjoyment of activity involving sexual gratification. ...


The clitoris is the most sensitive part for almost all women, but may be too sensitive to stimulate directly at times, especially in earlier stages of arousal, and it's often best to begin with more gentle and less focused stimulation of the labia and the whole genital area. Arousal is a physiological and psychological state involving the activation of the reticular activating system in the brain stem, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure and a condition of alertness and readiness to respond. ...

The tongue can be inserted into the vagina, either stiffened or moving, and someone with a long or very flexible tongue may be jokingly considered very desirable. This can be combined with stimulation of the clitoris by the nose, if one's facial proportions are appropriate. This article does not cite its references or sources. ...


Humming while performing cunnilingus is often considered to be especially arousing, with certain pitches, rhythms or tunes thought to be particularly effective by different people.


Cunnilingus is easily accompanied by the insertion of finger[s] or a sex toy into the vagina, which allows for the simultaneous stimulation of the g-spot, which many women find produces very intense sensations. Many other activities can accompany cunnilingus to enhance overall pleasure, of course, limited only by preference, physics, anatomy and multitasking ability.

Variants

Irrumatio is similar to fellatio, but involves the penis actively penetrating the mouth as a passive orifice, making the involvement of the person thus penetrated a passive one, with little control over the proceedings. A slang term for this is "face fucking".


Facesitting is a form of oral sex in which the receiver sits on the giver's face and pushing into it with his or her genitals.

The receiver of oral sex may find it pleasurable if the giver hums or sings at the same time, sometimes called a hummer. This in effect makes the giver's mouth into a vibrator, though unlike mechanical vibrators the mouth has built-in lubricant (saliva). A similar effect can be created by placing a small, yet powerful vibrator under the jaw, causing the tongue to vibrate, which can be very pleasurable in small quantities, but can be numbing for one or both parties if overused. A hum is a sound with a particular timbre (or sound quality), usually a monotone or with slightly varying tones, often produced by machinery in operation or by insects in flight. ...

Taboo

Oral sex had been regarded as a humiliating and/or unclean practice in many parts of the world. This is probably due to the symbolic values attached to different parts of the body. Most cultures regard the face as the most high-status part of the body, associated with a person's soul, while the genitals, together with the anus, are perceived as inherently dirty and connected with low status. Accordingly, the contact between the face of one person and the genitals of another is often associated, consciously or not, not only with a dominance relationship (compare the gesture of bowing or kneeling) — especially when reinforced by other forms of inequality — but also, and above all, with a kind of profanation.

Oral sex has been considered to be taboo to a greater or lesser extent in many Western countries since the beginning of the Middle Ages. In the West before that time, and within certain constraints, the act of oral sex was a more or less widely accepted activity in those cultures that practiced regular and consistent bathing. Even then, there were still notable taboos. In pre-Christian ancient Rome sexual acts were generally seen through the prism of submission and control. This is apparent in the two Latin words for the act: irrumare (to penetrate orally), and fellare (to be penetrated orally). Under this system, it was considered to be abhorrent for a male to be in any way penetrated (be controlled) by another person of lower social standing during sex. A taboo is a strong social prohibition (or ban) relating to any area of human activity or social custom declared as sacred and forbidden; breaking of the taboo is usually considered objectionable or abhorrent by society. ... The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times, beginning with the Renaissance. ... The Roman Forum was the central area around which ancient Rome developed. ... Latin is an ancient Indo-European language originally spoken in the region around Rome called Latium. ...


This same logic also allowed a man to receive fellatio from a woman or another man of lower social status (such as a slave or debtor), because the man would be directing the actions of the person of lower rank. The Romans regarded oral sex as being far more shameful than, for example, anal sex — known practitioners were supposed to have foul breath and were often unwelcome as guests at a dinner table. The women of Lesbos were believed to have introduced the practice of fellatio, and it is said that they used to whiten their lips as though with semen. Roman men having anal sex. ... Halitosis, breath odour, or most commonly bad breath are terms used to describe noticeably unpleasant odours exhaled in breathing. ... Lesbos Prefecture Lesbos Island Category: ...


So, whereas in Greece, where there was a tendency to see the person "performing" oral sex as active and the "receiving" party as passive, in Roman times fellatio and cunnilingus were perceived to be a passive and therefore shameful act for any man to perform, and oral sex between members of low social standing groups was considered superfluous and was often viewed as taboo. Therefore performing any type of oral sex was considered to be a passive (as in submissive) act while receiving oral sex was viewed as an active (as in controlling) act. [2] The practice was taboo for public health reasons, as well. In Rome, the genitals were considered to be unclean. Oral sex was thought to make the mouth dirty, and (ultimately) to present a public health risk.


The Ancient Indian Kama Sutra, dating from the first centuries AD, does describe oral sex [3], discussing fellatio in great detail and only briefly mentioning cunnilingus. However, according to the Kama Sutra, fellatio is above all characteristic of eunuchs, who use their mouths due to lack of vagina. The author states that it is also practiced by "unchaste women", but mentions widespread traditional concerns about this being a degrading or unclean practice, with known practitioners being evaded as love partners in large parts of the country. He seems to agree with these attitudes to some extent, claiming that "a wise man" should not engage in that form of intercourse, while acknowledging that it can be appropriate in some (unspecified) cases.

A common misperception is that oral sex is still nominally illegal in some states in the U.S. However, in the U.S. Supreme Court case Lawrence v.

Sexually transmitted diseases

Oral sex is widely believed to be safer than vaginal or anal sex. But chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex. Any kind of direct contact with body fluids of a person infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) should be avoided. In 2005, a research study at the University of Malmö in Sweden suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with HPV might increase the risk of oral cancer.

Furthermore, oral sex should be avoided when either partner has wounds or open sores on the genitals or mouth, or bleeding gums in the mouth, or has recently brushed, flossed, undergone dental work, or eaten crunchy foods such as potato chips, all of which can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around and secreted from the genital regions. Because of this, many medical professionals advise the use of condoms in the performance of fellatio (flavoured condoms are available for this purpose) and the use of plastic or latex sheets (dental dams or ordinary plastic wrap) for cunnilingus, although the latter has failed to achieve the same level of widespread use as condoms.

Terminology and slang

There are many words describing oral sex, including euphemisms and slang. Like all aspects of sexuality, there exist a very large number of variations on a theme, and no attempt will be made here to represent them all.

It was revealed that the "Blowjob machine" was nothing more than another Soviet maskirovka: empty inside, constructed of nothing more than cardboard; soldiers engaged in congress with the machine were coached on the proper facial expression to affect for the passing U-2s and spy satellites.
Blowjobs became government-supported under the administration of Gerald Ford, who was given the first nationally-televised blowjob during his 1975 state-of-the-union address.
