AUTOFELLATIO

'Autofellatio' is the act of oral stimulation of one's own penis as a form of masturbation. Most men do not possess sufficient flexibility and/or penis length to perform the necessary frontbend. However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and physical training such as gymnastics, contortion, or yoga may make it possible for some. American biologist Alfred Kinsey reported that fewer than 1% of men can successfully suck or lick their own penises. Autofellatio used to be treated by behavioristic science as a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.^[1]

Risks / Precautions

It is possible to injure oneself while performing autofellatio. Anyone who intends to attempt the act should take extreme caution to avoid injuring the ligaments and tendons in the back and/or neck. There is also a risk of developing stretch marks on the lower back due to the extreme frontbend, especially if one has not trained at this and spends a lot of time in any position without rest.
Remember:

★ One should take time getting into position.

★ If, at any point, there is discomfort, the person should relax and return to a resting position.

★ If one cannot reach his penis, he should not strain.

★ The practitioner should not try to go too much closer / farther down than he did the last time.

★ If anything hurts, one should stop immediately, as tissues can be damaged.

★ If one injures himself, he should not attempt autofellatio until the pain subsides and appropriate medical advice has been implemented.

★ If attempting autofellatio causes repeated stress and strain injuries, it is better to give up than to continue hurting oneself.
Pain from overextending during autofellatio may appear immediately or within six hours. It will usually involve either the muscles and tendons on one side of the back, the spinal cord or both.

In modern culture

★ While fairly few pornographic movies involve autofellatio, Ron Jeremy is remembered in part for his 1970s examples on film.^[2]

★ One version of the infamous limerick "The Man from Nantucket" tells of a man who engages in autofellatio.

★ The topic has also been used as the basis for comedy. 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, almost broke my back."^[3]

:He also followed this up with:
:

I can speak for every guy in this room here tonight. Guys, if you could blow yourselves, ladies, you'd be in this room alone right now... watching an empty stage.^[4]

★ In the 2006 movie ''My Super Ex-Girlfriend'' the main character, Matt, is on a subway train reading a newspaper about a superhero. He asks his best friend Vaughn if he could have any power what would he want. Vaughn replies, "To gratify myself orally."

★ The act also featured in an April 18, 2000 ''Saturday Night Live'' skit featuring host Tobey Maguire as a yoga instructor whose student, played by Will Ferrell, distracts the entire class by managing, after years of trying, to fellate himself.

★ In his semi-autobiographical novel ''The Hand-Reared Boy'' (1970), the writer Brian Aldiss 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.

★ Kevin Smith later developed a similar theme in his debut film ''Clerks'', in which the main character, Dante Hicks, is goaded by his comedic foil, Randal Graves, into admitting that he once attempted the act but could not reach his penis, after Graves has related to Dante that his cousin Walter died while attempting the act—a setup that results in a later payoff at the end of the film. A coroner observing a corpse being moved into an ambulance relates a story about the strangest death she ever encountered.

Randal: "This has got to be the weirdest thing you've ever been called in on."

Coroner: "No, I once had to tag a kid who broke his neck trying to put his mouth on his penis."

★ Writer/director Larry David, in his 1998 film ''Sour Grapes'', included a few mentions of the topic, with muted shots of a lead actor fellating himself occasionally throughout the movie.

★ The ''Viz'' comics have featured fake advertisements (also published in "Roger Mellie's Ad Break,"^[5] a compilation of Viz fake adverts) about autofellatio, including slogans such as "Learn yoga and give yourself a blowjob."

★ In the 2001 movie ''Saving Silverman'', actor Jack Black talks about taking yoga to become able to perform autofellatio. Though, in the movie, he only says "... oh, and the fact that I like sucking ..." before being interrupted by his friend, who's quite shocked. Coincidentally, this friend attempts performing autofellatio, but is interrupted by a phone call.

★ In the spoof movie ''Scary Movie 2'', David Cross' character is frustrated at the offer of receiving oral stimulation from another, perceiving that everyone thinks he needs constant assistance due to his being wheel chair bound. He refuses the offer and quickly opts for self-stimulation.

★ In the 2006 movie ''Shortbus'', one of the main characters, James, eventually, through aid of a gravity assisted position, succeeds in fellating himself in his loungeroom.

★ In Chuck Palahniuk's ''Invisible Monsters'', he alludes often to the concept of autofellatio.

★ On his ''Gag Reflex'' tour, Jimmy Carr has asked men in the audience to put their hands up if they have never attempted autofellatio. Very few have. Carr has also mentioned that this is his favorite part of the show.
