Template:Linkimage Autofellatio is the act of oral stimulation of one's own penis as a form of masturbation. While few human males are both sufficiently "well-endowed" and flexible enough to perform the extreme front bend required, increased flexibility achieved via activities such as gymnastics and yoga may make it possible for some.

Role in culture

The translator David Lorton has speculated about one Egyptian poem that includes an image he argues might best be interpreted to assert Atum (Ra) created the gods Shu and Tefnut in an act of autofellatio, though the far more common interpretation makes the act in question more conventional 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.

While fairly few pornographic movies involve autofellatio, Ron Jeremy is remembered in part for his 1970s examples on film.

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 in his debut film Clerks , in which the main character, Dante Hicks, is goaded by his comedic foil, Randall Graves, into admitting that he once attempted the act but could not reach, a setup that results in a later payoff at the end of the film when a coroner observing a dead corpse being moved into an ambulance relates a story about the strangest death she ever encountered, which was a man who broke his neck attempting the act. The act also featured in an April 18, 2000 Saturday Night Live skit featuring host Tobey Maguire as a yoga instructor whose student, played by Will Ferrell, distracts the entire class by managing, after years of trying, to fellate himself. 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.

Finnish new-age cult leader Ior Bock claims that saunasolmu (meaning 'sauna knot' in English) is an ancient Finnish tradition of autofellatio, and urges his male followers to drink their own semen rather than "waste" it.

In a classic example of urban myth, it was once reported and spread around The Internet that singer Marilyn Manson had a number of ribs removed to allow him to perform autofellatio. This, like most Internet propagated urban myths turned out to be false.
