Autofellatio is a sex act wherein a male performs oral sex on himself as a form of masturbation. This is usually not possible for most men, but can be achieved if the male is sufficiently well-endowed, or is sufficiently flexible. Gymnastics and/or yoga are potential methods by which votaries of this pastime may increase their flexibility, and thus their ability to perform this act.
Autofellatio has been featured in a few pornographic movies, although it is not one of the more popular subjects.
David Lorton, a translator, has speculated that one Egyptian poem contains an image that might best be interpreted as indicating a belief that the gods Shu and Tefnut were created by Atum (Ra) through an act of autofellatio. The far more common interpretation is that this creation was by masturbation.
In his semi-autobiographical novel The Hand-Reared Boy (1970), the writer Brian W. Aldiss 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.
Autocunnilingus for a woman is possible as well, but would be more difficult to perform since the subject's head must move a greater distance.
The topic has also been used as the basis for comedy. 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.
Kevin Smith later developed a similar theme ("He broke his neck trying to suck his own dick") in his debut film Clerks . Writer/director Larry David, in his 1998 film Sour Grapes, included a few mentions of the topic, with muted shots of a lead actor fellating himself occasionally throughout the movie.
