autofellatio

Egyptologist David Lorton says that many ancient texts refer to autofellatio within the religion of Egypt, both in the realm of the gods and among the followers performing religious rituals.{{Cite web |last=Lorton |first=David |year=1995 |title=Autofellatio and Ontology |url=http://reocities.com/Athens/academy/1326/ontology.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101229072235/http://reocities.com/Athens/academy/1326/ontology.html |archive-date=29 December 2010 |access-date=15 April 2006 |df=dmy-all}}{{Cite web |title=Autofellatio |url=http://www.sexinfo101.com/as_autofellatio.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061021215552/http://www.sexinfo101.com/as_autofellatio.shtml |archive-date=21 October 2006 |access-date=15 October 2006 |website=SexInfo101.com |quote=Academic David Lorton says that many ancient texts refer to autofellatio within the religious mythology of Egypt. He also notes that autofellatio was performed during rituals as a result of the sun god Ra's... |df=dmy-all}} According to Lorton, in the Papyrus Bremner-Rhind 28, 20–24, in a document called "Book of Overthrowing Apophis", there is a poem narrating how the sun god Ra had created the god Shu and goddess Tefnut by fellating himself and spitting out his own semen onto the ground. In ancient Egyptian texts, this act is usually performed by the god Atum, and most texts depict only the spitting of the semen or only the masturbation, but not both.

Michel Foucault cites Artemidorus' Oneirocritica as identifying the act of "taking [one's] sex organ into one's [own] mouth" as one of three ways to commit "relations with oneself." Artemidorus thought that dreams of this "unnatural" act portended the death of one's children, loss of one's mistresses, or extreme poverty.{{Cite book |last=Foucault |first=Michel |title=The History of Sexuality |publisher=Pantheon Books |year=1984 |volume=3: The Care of the Self |location=New York |page=24 |translator-last=Hurley |translator-first=Robert}}

In 1954, American biologists Craig Bartle and Alfred Charles Kinsey reported that fewer than 1% of males can successfully orally contact their own penis and that only 2 or 3 men in a thousand could perform a full autofellatio.{{Cite journal |last1=Guy |first1=William |last2=Finn |first2=Michael H.

In 1977, autofellatio was documented by behavioristic science as a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.{{Cite journal |last1=Cavenar |first1=J. O. Jr. |last2=Spaulding |first2=J.

In recent years, autofellatio has gained increased visibility as a niche practice on adult content platforms such as OnlyFans, Chaturbate, and X, where an increasing number of performers regularly showcase the act. This trend suggests a rise in the percentage of individuals capable of performing it.

While it is widely believed that autofellatio requires exceptional penis length, targeted stretching has increasingly shown that flexibility can be developed over time and appears to play a more decisive role than penis length. Though greater penis length can make the act more accessible, it is not strictly necessary, as many have demonstrated the ability through consistent training.{{Cite web |last=Lindsay |first=Kate |date=11 February 2025 |title=Read This Before Attempting to Give Yourself a Blowjob |website=GQ |url=https://www.gq.com/story/self-suck-stretches |access-date=2025-06-11}}

Risk factors are primarily related to muscle strain. In a Men's Health publication, sex counselor Eric Garrison says pulled muscles are not uncommon.{{Cite web |date=16 July 2019 |title=The Long, Complicated History of Auto-Fellatio |url=https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a28412362/auto-fellatio-history/ |access-date=3 May 2024 |website=Men's Health}} Another sex counselor, Cam Fraser, in an ABC report:{{Cite web |last=Salmin |first=Dee |date=9 June 2022 |title=Sucking your own dick: Is it possible and will anything go wrong? |url=https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/the-sunday-hook-up/can-you-suck-your-own-dick-and-will-anything-go-wrong/13922540 |access-date=3 May 2024 |website=ABC |department=Triple J}} "The only things that I could think of that could potentially go wrong could be if you're not limbered up enough, maybe pulling a muscle and hurting your back." Both men remark that STIs, such as herpes, can be transferred from the mouth to penis, and vice versa. Additionally, Garrison has encountered a few cases of men accidentally biting themselves.

Autofellatio is a niche in pornography.{{Cite book |last1=Rogers |first1=Ben R. |title=Going down: the instinct guide to oral sex |last2=Perry |first2=Joel |publisher=Alyson Publications |year=2002 |isbn=978-1-55583-752-5}}.{{Cite book |last=Williams |first=Linda |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rdWZ8JD5dkkC |title=Porn Studies |publisher=Duke University Press |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-8223-3312-8}}{{Cite book |last=Kick |first=Russell |url=https://archive.org/details/bookoflistssubve00kick |title=Book of lists: subversive facts and hidden information in rapid-fire format |publisher=The Disinformation Company |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-9729529-4-1}} While relatively few studio-produced pornographic films historically involved autofellatio, some pornographic actors have been noted for this skill. Ron Jeremy, for example, was reputed for attempting the act in 1970s films, though his range was limited and often fell short of true autofellatio.{{Cite web |last=Chau |first=Alex |title=The Long, Complicated History of Men Trying to Suck Their Own Dicks |url=https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/long-complicated-history-men-trying-160700287.html |website=Yahoo!

In Brian W. Aldiss' 1970 semi-autobiographical novel The Hand-Reared Boy, he describes group masturbation practices at a British boys' boarding school. One boy with an especially large penis is capable of fellating himself, a fact which the narrator, Horatio Stubbs, verifies.{{Cite book |last=Aldiss |first=Brian W. |author-link=Brian W.

Comedian Bill Hicks elaborated an oft-quoted riff on the subject of fellatio, "A woman one night yelled out, 'Yeah, you ever try it?' I said 'Yeah.

In a 26th season (2000–2001) Saturday Night Live sketch, Will Ferrell plays a character who joins a yoga class with the sole purpose of developing the ability to fellate himself as a part of reaching Samadhi.{{Cite magazine |date=Sep-Oct 2000 |title=Karma Demerits |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RuoDAAAAMBAJ&q=saturday+night+live |magazine=Yoga Journal |publisher=Active Interest Media |page=26 |issn=0191-0965}} In the 2001 film Scary Movie 2, Professor Dwight Hartman (David Cross) performs autofellatio after rebuffing Theo's (Kathleen Robertson) offer to perform oral sex on him.
