Blow job is the colloquial term for fellatio during which the penis is stimulated with the mouth, tongue, lips, and also with the teeth. The term fellatio stems from the Latin verb fellere which means to suck. Other expressions are French sex or giving head. It is often part of the foreplay to cause an erection or to enhance the sexual lust. Especially juveniles like blow jobs during petting in order to gain first sexual experiences. Moreover, it enables men who have a weak erection and who cannot perform vaginal or anal intercourse to experience penetrating sex. A blow job can be given in different positions and it can also be combined with other sexual practices.
One of the best known positions in terms of oral intercourse including blow jobs is the position known as 69 or L7 in which the sexual partners, both heterosexual and homosexual couples, satisfy each other orally. The reason why this position is called 69 or L7 is the way these numbers and letters look, resembling two persons performing oral sex on one another.
It hast o be mentioned that there are different techniques of performing oral sex as regards the body parts that stimulate the penis. The different methods increase the lust in different ways. A technique that often explicitly mentioned is called deep throating. Here, the penis penetrates the throat which increases the stimulation.
Autofellatio is a special form of fellatio during which, as the prefix auto already suggests, the man orally satisfies himself. Of course, he has to be fairly agile to perform a blow job without a sexual partner. Autofellatio as well as ist female counterpart, autocunnilingus, again and again cause scandalous news and obscene rumors. What should be mentioned as well is that an autofellatio has already been captured on film. In the film Shortbus, single handed oral satisfaction, initiated by a backward roll, plays a major role.
Over the time, the blow job has become an inherent part in porn films. There is almost no production that gets by without the very popular blow job. Just about every sexual activity starts with a blow job and it also often ends with a blow job. However, it has to be distinguished as to how the ejaculation is brought about. Very often, the man ejaculates into the mouth of his sexual partner who then swallows the sperm or lets it run out of their mouth. Another likewise popular variation is ejaculating into the face of the partner. Here, the penis is removed from the partner’s mouth shortly before the ejaculation and the man ejaculates on the face or onto other body parts, preferably on the breasts of the women. This variation is also called cum shot, with cum standing for the sperm and shot for the ejaculation.
Health risks in connection with sexual intercourse have to be taken into consideration. While oral intercourse used to be performed as a form of contraception, today it is advisable to use a condom, of course not as a contraceptive but as a protection from sexually transmissible diseases like AIDS, syphilis, or gonorrhea. An ejaculation into the mouth are especially risky.
