'''Oral sex''' (from [[Latin]] ''os, oris'' "mouth") consists of all the [[Human sexual behavior|sexual activities]] that involve the use of the [[mouth]], [[tongue]], etc., to stimulate [[Sex organ|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 lubrication|vaginal fluids]]. Ingestion of these fluids alone, without physical mouth-to-genital contact, is not considered to be oral sex. Common slang terms for oral sex, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, include to "go down on", "give head to" or "give a blowjob to" a partner.

Oral sex 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 enjoyment of oral sex is not always limited to the person on the receiving end.

==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). It is important to note that these activities ''are not'' effective methods of preventing [[sexually transmitted disease]]s (STDs).

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)|Time]]'' magazine. The report comes from the results of a computer-administered [[statistical survey|survey]] of over 12,000 Americans between the ages of 15 and 44, and states that over half the [[adolescence|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.[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1106324,00.html]

Dude, your user boxes rock! I put like, half of 'em in n=my page...

In male homosexual relationships, oral sex is one common alternative for those uncomfortable with [[anal sex]], in addition to being widely enjoyed in its own right. Some contend that homosexual partners can have an enhanced ability to perform oral sex on members of the same gender because they are already familiar with their own body's sensations and responses.{{fact}}

Among dedicated [[virgin]]s, 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]].

'''Fellatio''' describes the oral stimulation of the penis. A common technique of fellatio is to take the [[glans penis|glans]] of the [[erection|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.

== ''Signpost'' updated for June 18th, 2007. ==

Depending on the preference of the participants, this stimulation may produce an [[orgasm]] and [[ejaculation]] of [[semen]]. If the semen is accepted into the mouth it may or may not be swallowed (hence the [[slang]] phrase '''spit or swallow'''). It should be noted that sexual arousal of the penis will often produce a small quantity of [[pre-ejaculate|pre-ejaculatory 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.

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. Another very efficient technique is to have the penis's head go in and out of the mouth very quickly (without going down to the shaft). This gives the receiver extreme stimulation and can lead to ejaculation in less than a minute. Fellatio contests take place in some countries.

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.{{citation needed}} However, if the partner is unwilling to swallow or allow the semen into their mouth (and spit it back out), a common variant consists of the fellatee ejaculating over the fellator's face or neck (often called a [[pearl necklace]]) or chest (this is often called "cum on body", "cum on boobs" (COB) hence the shortcut "BBBJCOB" (bare back blow job cum on body).

One form of fellatio is known as [[deep throat (sexual act)|deep throating]], after the 1972 pornographic film [[Deep Throat (movie)|Deep Throat]]. This technique involves repressing the gag reflex and 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/fellatrix.

== Wikipedia Weekly Episode 20 ==

The common [[slang]] term '''blow-job''' is a misnomer, as blowing is not normally part of fellatio. In fact, blowing air into a partner's penis is an unhealthy practice. It is most commonly thought to be a facetious use of "blow" as the opposite of "suck". It has been suggested to be a corruption of "below-job", allegedly an old Victorian slang term that was commonly used to describe the act. However, there is a third school of thought that believes the word "blow" in "blow-job" indicates the climax of the penis (compare to blowing of a volcano). The phrase "blow-job" originated in the 1940's. [http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20000817]

background-color: blue;

'''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 may be a way for women to achieve orgasm with a partner.

'''Good news, everyone: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject WikipediaWeekly|<font color="blue">Wikipedia</font> <font color="red">Weekly</font>]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject WikipediaWeekly/Episode20|Episode 20]] has been released!'''

'''.mp3''' and '''.ogg''' versions can be found at '''http://wikipediaweekly.com/2007/06/19/wikipedia-weekly-20-return-of-the-podcast/''' and as always, you can download old episodes and more at '''http://wikipediaweekly.com/'''.

As in all [[human sexual behaviour]], the variety of techniques in cunnilingus and individual responses to them are almost endless. As always, communication, experimentation and practice are the best way to learn how to please a particular partner.

Please spread the word about Wikipedia Weekly, we're trying to spread the word so that people know about the project!

The clitoris is the most sensitive part for almost all women, but may be too sensitive to stimulate directly at times, especially in early 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.

Tongue tip, blade or underside can be used, as can the nose, lips and teeth (with caution). Movements can be slow or fast, regular or erratic, firm or soft, as the moment requires.

The tongue can be inserted into the [[vagina]], either stiffened or moving. Humming to cause vibration while performing cunnilingus is often considered to be especially arousing, with certain pitches, rhythms or tunes thought to be particularly effective by different people.

</div></div></div>

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.

A popular [[slang]] term for cunnilingus is '''eating out''', which is a misnomer because nothing is "consumed," except perhaps bodily fluids if protection is not used. There are several emerging slang terms as well. Some people also refer to cunnilingus as a '''Poon-job''', a slang term and a cunnilingus variant of "blow-job" (see the section of Fellatio above), where "poon" is short for [[punani (slang)|punani]]. Additionally, in homosexual culture a common slang term used is '''giving lip''' or [[lip service]].

=== Variants===

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

[[Image:BIW8-Sandra-oral-sex-69.jpg|right|thumbnail|{{{suppress image}}}|The [[69 sex position|69]] sexual position]]

Oral sex can be performed by both partners at the same time in the so-called [[69 sex position|'''sixty-nine''' position]].

The receiver of oral sex may find it pleasurable if the giver [[hum]]s or [[sing]]s 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.

Also, eye contact during fellatio or cunnilingus may be very stimulating and more pleasurable as it acknowledges that a real person is performing oral sex, not a machine or sex toy.

== Taboo ==

Oral sex had been considered to be a [[taboo]] or at least frowned upon in many parts of the world ([http://archive.salon.com/sex/feature/2000/05/22/oral_history/print.html]): partly as yet another form of sexual act that does not lead to procreation (in [[Christian]] and [[Islamic]] cultures), and partly as a humiliating and/or unclean practice (in Islamic and [[Sub-Saharan Africa|Sub-Saharan African]] cultures, in [[Ancient Rome]] and [[India|Ancient India]]). At least in some cases this is due to the symbolics attached to different parts of the body.

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 perform fellatio or cunnilingus, since that would mean that he was penetrated (controlled), whereas receiving fellatio from a woman or another man of lower social status (such as a slave or debtor) was not humiliating. (On the contrary, in Greece, there was a tendency to see the person "performing" oral sex as active and the "receiving" party as passive.{{fact}}) The Romans regarded oral sex as being far more shameful than, for example, [[anal sex]] &mdash; known practitioners were supposed to have [[bad breath|foul breath]] and were often unwelcome as guests at a dinner table [http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/priap/prp105.htm]. 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.

Interestingly, the practice of fellatio was said to have been introduced by the women of [[Lesbos Island|Lesbos]], who used to whiten their lips as though with semen.

The [[India|Ancient Indian]] [[Kama Sutra]], dating from the first centuries AD, does describe oral sex [http://www.kamashastra.com/kama209.htm], discussing fellatio in great detail and only briefly mentioning cunnilingus. However, according to the Kama Sutra, fellatio is above all a characteristic of eunuchs, who use their mouths as a substitute for female [[genitalia]]. 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. Texas]]'' (2003) Justice [[Anthony Kennedy]] writing for the majority struck down all anti-sodomy laws in the United States, declaring that such laws violated the liberty phrase of the Due Process Clause of the [[Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution]]. Most anti-oral sex laws had not been enforced prior to this overturning.

== Health issues ==

[[Semen]] contains [[water]], small amounts of [[salt]], [[protein]], [[zinc]] [http://www.il-st-acad-sci.org/androl1.html] and [[fructose]] sugar. It is slightly [[Base (chemistry)|alkaline]] which causes some to find the taste bitter or [[brackish]], but neither male nor female sexual bodily fluids are in themselves harmful to a sexual partner, apart from concerns of [[Sexually-transmitted disease|STDs]] (separately discussed [[#Sexually transmitted diseases|below]]).

[[Urban legend]] sometimes describes semen as [[nutrition|nutritious]] and a good source of [[protein]]; however, this is at best minimally true. Semen contains only a small amount of protein and in any case is typically only available in small quantities during oral sex.

Partners should be careful not to bite or scratch the genitalia with the teeth harder than desired. It is also possible for the inside of the mouth to be bruised by the penis if oral sex is too rough, although this can be lessened if the person giving fellatio tilts their head back (as in looking up) instead of keeping the head level. People with [[mouth ulcers]] and [[Temporomandibular Joint Disorder]] may find that giving oral sex is uncomfortable.

=== Sexually Transmitted Diseases ===

Contrary to popular belief, '''oral sex is not a safe alternative to [[vaginal sex|vaginal]] or [[anal sex|anal]] sex'''. [[Chlamydia]], [[human papillomavirus]] (HPV), [[gonorrhea]], [[Herpes simplex virus|herpes]], [[hepatitis]] (multiple strains), and other [[sexually transmitted disease]]s (STDs) &mdash; including [[HIV]] &mdash; can be transmitted through oral sex.{{fact}} 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]].{{fact}}

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 [[Sexually transmitted disease|STD]]s 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 [[condom]]s in the performance of fellatio (flavoured condoms are available for this purpose) and the use of plastic or latex sheets ([[dental dam]]s or ordinary plastic wrap) for cunnilingus, although the latter has failed to achieve the same level of widespread use as condoms.

== Terminology and slang ==

<!-- This should be an _encyclopedic_ discussion of the slang terms. Eg. history, controversy, etc. A simple list does not serve that purpose. -->

There are many words describing oral sex, including [[euphemism]]s and [[Sexual slang#Oral Sex|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.

*The word ''fellatio'' comes from the Latin term ''fellare'' which means "to suck".

*A common slang term for giving oral sex to either a man or woman is "giving head", from the term "head job" (in contrast to "hand job" - manual stimulation).

*The use of the term "blowjob" in a sexual context was first recorded in [[1961]]; as recently as [[1953]] it meant [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=blow+job&searchmode=none "type of airplane"].

*According to another view, the term "blowjob" stems from the Victorian era{{fact}}. Prostitutes were often referred to as "blowsy", as "blow" was slang for ejaculation. "Blowjob" describes the man's experience. Another explanation is that "blow" is a contraction of "below" as the act was originally known by Prostitutes as a "below job".{{fact}} Another explanation is that "blow" was slang for fast; as the prostitutes didn't have to undress to perform one, it was referred to as a blowjob.{{fact}}
