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.
In Egyptian mythology, the god Atum (Ra) created the gods Shu and Tefnut by autofellatio; or at least, it is argued that a proper translation of certain texts demonstrate that the ancient Egyptians believed this. Other translations ascribe this creation to mucus, rather than semen.
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 rumored to be possible, 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, saw fit to throw in a few mentions of the topic, also taking it one step further with muted shots of a lead actor fellating himself occasionally (back trouble allowing) throughout the movie.
