Autofellatio is the act of oral stimulation of one's own penis as a form of masturbation. It is
physically possible for men who have sufficient flexibility, penis size or a combination of
the two to perform autofellatio.[1] Autofellatio is a niche in pornography.[2][3][4]

History
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.[5][6] According to Lorton, in the Papyrus Bremner-Rhind 28, 2024, 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.[5] 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.[5]
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.[7]

Physical aspects
Few men possess sufficient flexibility and penis length to safely perform the necessary
frontbend.[1] However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and
physical training such as gymnastics, contortion, or yoga may make it possible for some.
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.[8] Previously, autofellatio was considered by
behavioristic science a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.[9]

References in popular culture

While relatively few pornographic films involve autofellatio, some pornographic actors are
noted for this skill including Ron Jeremy for his 1970s examples on film.[10][11] Other actors
including Scott O'Hara, Cole Youngblood, Steve Holmes, and Ricky Martinez have also
been featured performing autofellatio and the practice has become a pornographic
masturbation sub genre. In Brian W. Aldiss' 1970 semi-autobiographical novel The HandReared 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.[12]
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. Almost broke my back."[13] Kevin
Smith later developed a similar theme ("He broke his neck trying to suck his own dick") in
his 1994 debut film Clerks.[14] Writer/director Larry David, in his 1998 film Sour Grapes,
used autofellatio as a recurring plot device with several mentions and muted shots of a lead
actor fellating himself (back trouble allowing) throughout the movie. In the 26th season
(20002001) of the popular Saturday Night Live comedy show Will Ferrell plays a
character who joins a yoga class with the sole purpose to be able to fellate himself as a part
of reaching Samadhi.[15] In the skit the character is shown to have been successful after
three years of efforts.[15] 2006 opening sequence of Shortbus shows James (Paul Dawson)
fellating himself which he videos while a neighbor voyeuristically watches.[16][17]
