==Etymology== The English noun ''fellatio'' comes from the Latin ''{{lang|la|fellātus}}'', the past participle of the verb ''{{lang|la|fellāre}}'', meaning "to suck".<ref>{{cite book|title = The Chambers Dictionary | publisher = Allied Chambers (India) limited |year = 2002|page=592|access-date = September 16, 2023 |isbn= 978-8-18606-225-8 |url =https://books.google.com/books?id=pz2ORay2HWoC&dq=%E2%80%9Cfellatio%E2%80%9D+%E2%80%9Cfell%C4%81tus%E2%80%9D&pg=PA592}}</ref>

==Practice== ===General=== [[File:Édouard-Henri Avril (20).jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Illustration by Édouard-Henri Avril (1849–1928) depicting fellatio]]

The essential aspect of fellatio is oral stimulation of the penis (including the shaft and glans) through sucking with the mouth, use of the tongue for licking, using the lips, or some combination.<ref name="Carroll"/> One method is the sex partner taking the penis into the mouth and moving smoothly up and down to a rhythm while being careful to avoid contact with the teeth.<ref name="Carroll"/> Fellatio also includes oral stimulation of the scrotum, whether licking, sucking or taking the entire scrotum into the mouth.<ref name="Kar"/><ref name="Crooks"/> During the act, orgasm may be achieved and semen may be ejaculated into the partner's mouth.<ref name="Carroll"/><ref name="Weiten"/> When the penis is thrust into someone's mouth, it is called ''irrumatio'', though the term is rarely used; "face-fucking" is a more prevalent colloquial term.<ref name="SL">{{cite web|url=http://www.sex-lexis.com/Sex-Dictionary/irrumatio|title=irrumatio in Sex-Lexis|access-date=2009-07-07|archive-date=2018-09-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180930020011/http://www.sex-lexis.com/Sex-Dictionary/irrumatio|url-status=live}}</ref>

Performing fellatio can trigger the gag reflex.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bullough |first1=Bonnie |last2= Bullough|first2= Vern|title = Human Sexuality: An Encyclopedia | publisher = Garland Pub.|year = 1994|access-date = September 14, 2023 |page=427|isbn= 978-0-82407-972-7 |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=y5HFtMkmFMYC&dq=%E2%80%9Cfellatio%E2%80%9D+%E2%80%9Cgag+reflex%E2%80%9D&pg=PA427}}</ref>

It is physically possible for men with sufficient flexibility, penis size, or both, to perform fellatio on themselves as a form of masturbation, in an act called autofellatio. However, few men possess the flexibility and penis length to safely perform the necessary frontbend.<ref>{{cite book | title=Savage Love: Straight Answers from America's Most Popular Sex Columnist | publisher=Penguin Books | author=Savage, Dan | year=1998 | page=242 | isbn=978-0-452-27815-8|author-link=Dan Savage}}</ref>

===Deposition of semen=== {{Further|Ingestion of semen in humans}} During fellatio, a partner may ingest semen from the penis. As late as 1976, some doctors were advising women in the eighth and ninth months of pregnancy not to swallow semen lest it induce premature labor, but it was later determined to be safe.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Pregnant Couple's Guide to Sex, Romance, and Intimacy|author1=Sandra Margot |author2=Tonianne Robino |isbn=978-0-8065-2323-1|pages=122–123|year=2002 |publisher=Citadel Press }}</ref>

The receiver of fellatio typically becomes sexually aroused. Once the prerequisite level of sexual stimulation has been achieved and ejaculation becomes imminent, the semen may be discharged onto his partner. The male may position his penis prior to ejaculation so that semen will be deposited onto his partner's face (known as a "facial"), or other body part such as their neck, chest or breast.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Staff|first1=Dalzell Victor Eds|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mAdUqLrKw4YC&pg=PA1455|title=The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English: J-Z|last2=Partridge|first2=Eric|date=2006|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-0-415-25938-5|language=en|access-date=2021-06-02|archive-date=2021-06-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210603002407/https://books.google.com/books?id=mAdUqLrKw4YC&pg=PA1455|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Other aspects=== [[File:Wiki-sixtynine-male.jpg|thumb|250px|An illustration of two men performing fellatio on each other in the 69 position]] The male receiving fellatio receives direct sexual stimulation, while his partner may derive satisfaction from giving him pleasure. Giving and receiving fellatio may happen simultaneously in sex positions like 69 and daisy chain.

Fellatio is sometimes practiced when vaginal or anal penetration would create a physical difficulty for a sex partner. For example, it may be practiced during pregnancy instead of vaginal intercourse by couples wishing to engage in intimate sexual activity while avoiding the difficulty of vaginal intercourse during later stages of pregnancy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.babycenter.com/400_is-it-safe-to-swallow-semen-during-pregnancy_510175_1000.bc |title=Is it safe to swallow semen during pregnancy? |publisher=BabyCenter |access-date=2010-03-19 |archive-date=2008-02-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215195603/http://www.babycenter.com/400_is-it-safe-to-swallow-semen-during-pregnancy_510175_1000.bc |url-status=usurped }}</ref>

Other reasons why a woman may not wish to have vaginal intercourse include apprehension of losing her virginity or of becoming pregnant,<ref name="Carpenter"/><ref name="Brady"/> conditions such as endometriosis, vulvodynia/vestibulodynia, or vaginismus that make vaginal penetration painful or impossible, or because she may be menstruating.

A 2007 study suggested a correlation between oral sex and throat cancer. It is believed that this is due to the transmission of HPV, a virus that has been implicated in the majority of cervical cancers and which has been detected in throat cancer tissue in numerous studies. The study concludes that people who had one to five oral sex partners in their lifetime had approximately a doubled risk of throat cancer compared with those who never engaged in this activity and those with more than five oral sex partners had a 250 percent increased risk.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=D'Souza |first1=Gypsyamber |last2=Kreimer |first2=Aimee R. |last3=Viscidi |first3=Raphael |last4=Pawlita |first4=Michael |last5=Fakhry |first5=Carole |last6=Koch |first6=Wayne M. |last7=Westra |first7=William H. |last8=Gillison |first8=Maura L. |title=Case–Control Study of Human Papillomavirus and Oropharyngeal Cancer |journal=New England Journal of Medicine |date=10 May 2007 |volume=356 |issue=19 |pages=1944–1956 |doi=10.1056/NEJMoa065497 |pmid=17494927 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Khamsi |first1=Roxanne |title=Oral sex can cause throat cancer |url=https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11819-oral-sex-can-cause-throat-cancer/ |work=New Scientist |date=9 May 2007 }}</ref>

===Pregnancy and semen exposure=== {{See also|Paternal tolerance}}

Fellatio cannot result in pregnancy, as there is no way for ingested sperm to reach the uterus and fallopian tubes to fertilize an egg cell. At any rate, acids in the stomach and digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract break down and kill spermatozoa.

Clinical research has tentatively linked fellatio with immune modulation,<ref name="Robertson2001">{{Cite journal |last1=Robertson |first1=Sarah A |last2=Ingman |first2=Wendy V |last3=O'Leary |first3=Sean |last4=Sharkey |first4=David J |last5=Tremellen |first5=Kelton P |date=October 2002 |title=Transforming growth factor β—a mediator of immune deviation in seminal plasma |journal=Journal of Reproductive Immunology |volume=57 |issue=1 |pages=109–128 |doi=10.1016/S0165-0378(02)00015-3 |pmid=12385837 }}</ref> indicating it may reduce the chance of complications during pregnancy.

=== Pelvic inflammatory disease === A 2012 secondary analysis of the PID Evaluation and Clinical Health (PEACH) data found that among women presenting with signs and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), those who reported oral sex were significantly less likely to have endometritis (adjusted odds ratio 0.5), even after adjusting for confounding factors such as race, number of partners, smoking, and drug use.

==Cultural views==

===Virginity===

Oral sex is commonly used as a means of preserving virginity, especially among heterosexual pairings; this is sometimes termed ''technical virginity'' (which additionally includes anal sex, manual sex and other non-penetrative sex acts, but excludes penile-vaginal sex).<ref name="Carpenter"/><ref name="Intimate"/><ref name="Brady"/><ref name="Plummer">{{cite book | author = Ken Plummer | title = Modern Homosexualities: Fragments of Lesbian and Gay Experiences | publisher = Routledge | year = 2002 | pages = 187–191 | access-date = August 24, 2013 | isbn = 978-1-134-92242-0 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=OSO3q4XEfz4C&pg=PA189 | quote = The social construction of 'sex' as vaginal intercourse affects how other forms of sexual activity are evaluated as sexually satisfying or arousing; in some cases whether an activity is seen as a sexual act at all.

===Legality=== {{See also|Islamic views on oral sex}}

Fellatio is legal in most countries. Laws of some jurisdictions regard fellatio as penetrative sex for the purposes of sexual offenses with regard to the act, but most countries do not have laws which ban the practice, in contrast to anal sex or extramarital sex. In Islamic literature, the only forms of sexual activity that are consistently explicitly prohibited within marriage are anal sex and sexual activity during menstruation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.understanding-islam.com/q-and-a/social-issues/regarding-oral-sex-5555 |title=Regarding 'Oral Sex' |publisher=Understanding-islam.com |access-date=2013-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130218214658/http://www.understanding-islam.com/q-and-a/social-issues/regarding-oral-sex-5555 |archive-date=2013-02-18 }}</ref> However, the exact attitude towards oral sex is a subject of disagreements between modern scholars of Islam.

In Malaysia, fellatio is illegal, but the law is seldom enforced. Under Malaysia's Section 377A of the Penal Code, the introduction of the penis into the anus or mouth of another person is considered a "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" and is punishable with imprisonment of 20 years maximum and whipping.<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=The Star|date=March 1, 2009|access-date=December 9, 2010|url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/3/1/focus/3375398&sec=focus|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110622074655/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2009%2F3%2F1%2Ffocus%2F3375398&sec=focus|archive-date=June 22, 2011|title=Illegal but not abnormal}}</ref>
