Is it gay to suck your own dick

Discussion in ' Pandora's Box ' started by antoniown, Aug 21, Autofellatio, often colloquially referred to as "sucking one's own dick," is a deeply intriguing and relatively rare form of autoeroticism. In one storythe ancient Egyptian god of creation, Atum, produces his children by sucking himself off and spitting out his own semen.

Al Eingang, a contortionist known as the King of the Self-Suck since he started performing auto-fellatio in adult films in the s, tells me that he got started in puberty in part because I already knew I wanted to suck cock, and mine was right there, waiting to be sucked.

Conclusion: By the associative property of masturbation, a man sucking his own dick is not gay. These depictions dont mean that ancient Egyptians were thinking often, speaking openly about, or engaging in auto-fellatio. Humans, everyone I spoke to for this piece agreed, have likely been thinking about and attempting auto-fellatio since the dawn of our species.

This may have historically suppressed awareness or reports of, or interest in, auto-cunnilingus among women. Images depict other gods engaging in what appears to be auto-fellatio supposedly to depict their potency, fertility, and self-sustaining powers.

Gods did what gods did in accordance with their nature to maintain order in the cosmos. Auto-fellatio doesnt seem to pop up again until the s C. My husband and I had this argument because he can suck his own dick. As people are always looking for ways to make solitary sex better, says Garrison, some men have likely always taken this fleeting thought and run with it-or at least tried to do so.

The assumption often runs that anyone who, historically or in the modern era, thinks about or tries to fellate himself likely did so out of homoerotic urges. This practice challenges traditional notions of sexual. Social pressures against homosexual acts could, writer Jesse Bering argued in Slate eight years back, have historically nudged men towards it as a form of isolated, safe sexual exploration.

And why has the concept gained so much traction in our popular imaginations?

While the physical act itself demands an unusual degree of flexibility, the desire and motivation behind it often stem from a complex interplay of psychological, historical, and personal factors. We recently set out to find answers, scouring historical and cultural records and speaking to a wide range of experts in order to build a brief yet comprehensive history of our cultural relationship to and fascination with self sucking as some who practice or idolize the act call it.

But how long, exactly, has the West been fixated on-openly acknowledged and made frequent cultural and conversational use of-auto-fellatio? Would sucking your own dick make you gay? Sex counselor Eric Garrison notes that many men today tell him the thought of sucking their own dicks crossed their minds when, as youths, bending over or stretching and realizing how close their penises were to their mouths.

Regardless of how long men have been thinking about, trying, or engaging in auto-fellatio, the first documented depictions of auto-fellatio show up in ancient Egyptian texts from about 2, to 3, years ago. Nelson also credits this disparity to the fact that men tend to be obsessed with our penises and many view them erroneously as our only erogenous zones, while many women are not as solely fixated on their vulvas and therefore may not be as primed to entertain the thought or tempted to try it out.

Sex therapist Dulcinea Pitagora argues that society has long suppressed-and still all too often suppress-female sexual pleasure while it worships the male penis. As Eingang points out, it would take more flexibility for women to achieve this than men.

At least some women have likely attempted this since the dawn of history too, though. Physiological happenstance may also explain, in part, why we dont talk or think as much about auto-cunnilingus, or women eating themselves out.

But auto-fellatio has never, the experts Ive spoken to again all agreed, been exclusively or even primarily motivated by homoerotic impulses. But at least we know that they were familiar with the core concept of self-sucking. Its a frequent topic of discussion in sex and sexuality columns and talk shows; Dan Savage has been fielding questions about it for years.

It gets thrown around in common speech, like when in short-lived White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci denigrated Steve Bannon to a reporter as trying to suck his own cock. For some people throughout history, this has likely been the motive.

Instead, men regardless of sexuality have likely stumbled into the act for millennia thanks to a mixture of curiosity, physiology, and, as Eingang puts it, the creative, adventurous spirit that horniness can bring out in us. Clearly we are, as a culture, low-key obsessed with the act of sucking our own dicks.
