Auto-Fellatio
Performing oral sex on yourself — an advanced flexibility position.
About This Position
Auto-fellatio is the practice of performing oral sex on oneself. This requires significant flexibility and core strength to bring the penis to the mouth. While not possible for everyone due to body proportions, those who can achieve it report unique self-discovery and pleasure.

Step-by-Step Guide
Lie on your back and gradually bring your legs up and over your head, bending at the waist.
Tip: Regular stretching can improve flexibility over time.
Reach for your penis and guide it toward your mouth.
Tip: Don't force the position — stop if you feel pain.
Once the penis is close to the mouth, use your hand to guide it while your mouth performs the stimulation.
Tip: The hand acts as a bridge between the mouth and penis.
Use your mouth and tongue in the same way you'd enjoy receiving fellatio.
Tip: You know your own body best — use that knowledge.
Release the position carefully when finished, slowly lowering your legs.
Tip: Don't snap back quickly — ease out of the position to avoid back strain.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the right technique, small errors can reduce pleasure or increase injury risk. Here are the most common mistakes couples make with the Auto-Fellatio position:
Forcing the position beyond flexibility
Not everyone's body proportions allow auto-fellatio. If you can't reach, don't force it — you risk back or neck injury.
Holding the position too long
The inverted position can cause blood to rush to the head. Keep sessions brief.
Not warming up first
Cold muscles are more prone to injury. Stretch and warm up before attempting.
Variations to Try
Once you've mastered the basic Auto-Fellatio, these variations can add new sensations and keep things exciting:
Add a Pillow
Place a pillow under the receiving partner's hips to change the angle of penetration and enhance stimulation.
Incorporate Manual Stimulation
Use hands to add clitoral or other external stimulation during the position for enhanced pleasure.
Slow Down the Pace
Switch from thrusting to grinding for a more intimate, sensation-focused experience.
Try Different Surfaces
Move from the bed to a couch, standing, or against a wall for different angles and experiences.
