Once a major taboo, oral sex is now a casual act, something teenagers try before penetrative sex. In porn, oral sex whets the appetite for the main course, which is all about penetration. But with some porn sites and niches built just around oral sex, is “oral” a fetish in its own right?
This month on What’s Your Fetish, we’ll explore the origins of oral sex, its many forms, why it appeals to people, and how it’s portrayed in 3DX.
Origins and Types of Oral Sex
In centuries past, oral sex was frowned upon by the major monotheistic faiths because it doesn’t result in reproduction, only hedonistic pleasure. The ancient Romans, certainly not prudes by 21st century standards, saw oral sex as very taboo for men to perform. They considered it a humiliating act of submission. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chinese Taoists believed performing oral sex on a woman enhanced the longevity of both partners. In more modern times, oral sex was seen as a way for young women, often in high school, to preserve their virginity while still allowing them to explore their sexuality.
There are generally three types of oral sex:
- Fellatio, better known as giving a blowjob, sucking cock, etc. This includes autofellatio, wherein the person with the penis gives himself or herself a blowjob.
- Cunnilingus, commonly known as eating pussy.
- Anilingus, or the “rim job.”
Other forms of oral sex, such as sucking a partner’s feet, fingers, breasts, etc. are not being considered in this analysis because they don’t involve the genitals.
Oral Appeal and the Role of Gender
Is oral sex no more than the appetizer to the entree of intercourse? For fans of oral, it’s a “meal” all by itself. There are entire feature-length porn films dedicated to oral sex, usually involving women sucking men’s cocks and receiving as much cum as possible on their faces. A popular element of these films is the “bukkake” scenario, which involves one woman getting a facial from numerous men. Bukkake, which means “heavy splash” in Japanese, is especially prevalent in Japanese adult video, whether live-action or animated.
The three oral acts described above involve many possible elements of sexual appeal. Some people have an oral “fixation,” which emerges in nearly all individuals when they first discover their mouths to be an erogenous zone. Some people carry this fixation into sexual maturity and have a need to have something in their mouths. Other people are specifically aroused by bodily fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions – this is called hygrophilia.
When it comes to the popularity of oral sex in all its forms, the gender of the performing and receiving partner matters immensely. In a typical heterosexual context, women are generally expected to perform fellatio on their male partners, while men may or may not reciprocate with cunnilingus. In nearly every heterosexual porn scene, the female performs fellatio, but the men often don’t reciprocate. When they do, they don’t do it as long as the ladies do; it often appears perfunctory. In fact, in scenes where men perform cunnilingus, they are almost always doing it prior to the initial act of penetration. It’s like they are lubing up the vagina for penetration rather than pleasuring their partners.
Oral and Sexuality
Homosexual encounters completely democratize oral sex, at least in porn depictions. Lesbian porn, especially those titles shot for a female audience, revolves around lengthy exhibitions of cunnilingus by both partners, and close-up camera angles showcase parts of the vagina that don’t get much attention in heterosexual scenes.
Indeed, lesbians, bisexual women, and even heterosexual women strongly favor cunnilingus when it comes to viewing porn themselves. Women searched for terms such as “pussy licking orgasm” as much as 900% more than men, according to recent statistics from Pornhub Insights, a blog for the popular streaming porn site Pornhub.
On the other hand, heterosexual men drive porn sites such as Mommy Blows Best, which combines the young male fascination with “MILFs” and the male preference for receiving blowjobs.
Finally anilingus is the rarest form of oral sex. Between women, it often appears briefly in male-centered threesomes, but it gets the most play in homosexual scenes, whether in lesbian or gay porn. In the latter, the “rim job” can be a perfunctory act to arouse the receptive partner before penetration. But gay men indulge in “rimming” far longer than needed simply to lube up the anus.
Oral Sex Portrayed In 3DX
3DX, as a medium, allows us to display some truly exaggerated sexual anatomy. When you combine that with the holes used in oral sex, you get superhuman-sized cocks disappearing into normal-sized mouths. You also get epic amounts of cum spurting over digital faces. These are elements that live-action pornography can’t replicate; no matter how conscientious a male pornstar is about hoarding his baby batter, he won’t be serving up the gallons of it that appear in a 3DX porno centered around the massive, superhuman cumshot. You also get some really capable autofellatio, especially from CGI dickgirls. Autofellatio is certainly doable by human performers; but very few people can stuff their own cocks balls deep into their mouths like Sayako from Girlfriends 4 Ever. Below are a few prime examples of oral sex in 3DX:
- A tongue workout at the gym. Two college girls lick each other silly at the gym, in a 3DX production that features rippling female physiques as well as titillating sex. I really enjoyed the simple but expertly executed College Girls #4, Part I by Astaros3D.
- Sharing a creampie. In “The Leak” by Nonsane, an accidental stumble in a lobby results in a dickgirl fucking a very hot stranger. Both girls wind up sharing the copious amounts of cum that erupt after a passionate coupling.
- Autoerotic fellatio. The gorgeous dickgirl Kayla enjoys her own seed after some thorough self-sucking in “Glam Gone Wild: Continued” by The Dude 3DX. There’s something hot about a dickgirl enjoying the taste of her own warm, salty baby batter.
Conclusion
Oral sex is definitely a fetish unto itself. But the type of oral sex varies tremendously by gender and by sexual orientation. The diverse array of reasons for enjoying oral – physical and psychological – makes this particular fetish quite complex.
