Deep-throating (sexual act)
Encyclopedia
Deep-throating is a sexual act in which a man's sexual partner
, female
or male
, takes their partner's entire erect penis
deep into the sex partner's mouth
, past the epiglottis
and into the throat. The practice is a form of fellatio
, a form of oral sex
. For deep-throating, the penis has to be long enough so that it can reach the back of the partner's throat. The person whose penis is inserted is usually referred as the receiving partner, and the person who performs deep-throating is referred to as the giving partner.
It is difficult for most people to perform deep-throating, due to the natural gag reflex evoked when the soft palate
is touched. Different people have different sensitivities to the reflex, but some people learn to suppress the reflex.
The practice is more impressive than adding anything to the oral stimulation of the penis, as the giving partner's tongue is immobilized during deep-throating and they also are not able to suck.
of both partners is important in performing deep throat. For deep-throating, the giving partner's mouth and throat will need to be aligned into a straight line, and he or she will need to breathe through the nose. It is important for the giving partner to be in a position to control any thrusting during deep-throating, to be able to pull the penis out if necessary; and for the receiving partner not to thrust, as during irrumatio
.
"Over-the-edge" is a common position for deep-throating. In this position, the giving partner lays on his/her back with the head hanging off the edge of the bed and the receiving partner stands or kneels in front of the giving partner, with his penis at the giving partner's mouth level.
Another position used for deep-throating involves the giving partner sitting on the receiving partner's chest, with his feet or penis in front of the giving partner.
The 69 position is another position for deep-throating.
