Jezebel: Oral Sex

Oral Sex More Dangerous for Dudes

Erin Gloria Ryan — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:00:00 EST

One in ten men are orally infected with the human papillomavirus, the nasty microscopic villain that can cause cancer of the genitals or throat. Because it's tough to test for the virus without a tissue sample and most of the infected don't know they have it, many don't think they're at risk for HPV-caused throat cancers until it's too late. Cancer is such a jerk. More »

Education-Minded Teen Girls Say Blow Jobs Are Like Homework

Anna North — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:25:00 EST

There's been a ton of hysteria about all the blowjobs teenagers are allegedly giving and getting these days, but relatively little talk about how teen girls actually feel about giving head. Now a group of researchers has decided to ask them, and the results are kind of disturbing — turns out that for some girls, oral sex is "like homework." More »

Teenage Girl's Oral Sex History Apparently Relevant To Her Alleged Rapist's Trial

Anna North — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:15:00 EST

Rape shield laws are supposed to protect victims from defense attorneys who would otherwise try to pry into their pasts. But when a 38-year-old man was accused of having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl, those laws broke down — an Arizona court ruled that his defense could use the information that she'd performed oral sex on two other men.

Couple Enjoys Sex In The Backseat ... Of A Cop Car

Margaret Hartmann — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:10:00 EST

After a couple was arrested at a Texas Whataburger, an officer put them into the back of his car and started driving to the police station. On the way he noticed he couldn't see the woman anymore. When he stopped to investigate he discovered that while handcuffed, she'd managed to unzip the man's pants and perform oral sex on him. He was able to separate them and drive to the station for booking on drug charges (no shocker there). More »

Anna North — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:30:00 EST

Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions! This week, inspired by a reader's inquiry, we asked guys, "I want to know what guys actually think about when giving oral sex. What do you notice? What do you not notice at all? Did you enjoy doing it initially, or is it something you learned to like?" We asked dudes of varying sexual orientations, but as it happened, the ones who responded talked about going down on ladies. Here's what they said: More »

Flight Attendant Photographed Performing Alleged Mid-Flight Oral Sex on Pilot

Erin Gloria Ryan — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 11:29:41 EDT

A series of pixellated, blurry photos that show a woman in a flight attendant's uniform performing mid-flight oral sex on a pilot have prompted a full investigation by the woman's employer. After that airplane themed verse in N.E.R.D's "Lapdance," it was really only a matter of time. In fact, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. More »

'Black Widows' Get Life In Prison • Greek Police Bust Oral Sex Competition

Maria — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:30:00 EDT

Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt, the two women who took out insurance policies on homeless men and then murdered them for their insurance policies, have been given life imprisonment. Women who are exposed to high levels of PCB are 33% less likely to give birth to male children. Watch it, nothing wrong with being female. • Cyberbullying is now a "public-health problem" yet only 9% of kids admit to being bullied on the internet. • Police bust an "oral sex competition" in Greece, the women get charged with prostitution and the men get charged with "encouraging obscene behavior." Oh, that seems fair. • A 6% rise in STDs in the UK: is it because more people are being tested or because people just want a "casual shag." More »

Octocock V. Boobiverse: Screw Faceless People But Wrap It Up

Megan Carpentier — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:20:00 EDT

This is one of two French AIDS-prevention advertisements to win a Bronze medal at the Cannes International Advertising Festival (click the picture to see this and the one with a dude writ, um, large). The tag line: "Explore. Just protect yourself." Although the tongues in the female version are non-gender specific, the advertisement for a man contains a female face that looks like a blow-up doll, several obviously feminine mouths and genitalia that looks way more like a pocket pussy than a woman being as it lacks legs (or hair) for context, but no obvious visual references to anal sex (or non-gendered assholes). I guess a man's exploring is supposed to be limited to women, but since all women are supposedly a little bi and it's less "gross," the tongues don't have to obviously be dudes'. Anyway, we're mostly trying to figure if the pictures are erotic or weird, or both. Vive la France! [Salon] More »

And it features all of the hit stars of the late '90s? • Sorry: HPV in the throat contracted through oral sex can cause throat cancer more easily than tobacco or alcohol. • A NY state rep pushes for foreign models to be reclassified to a different visa category for entertainers and athletes. • The girls at Fashion Meets Finance disappoint people with brains.

Tyra Talks To Teens Who Have Sex At School

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:00:00 EDT

Today on Tyra, teenagers as young as 13 discussed how they have sex on school grounds, sometimes even giving BJs in the classroom while the substitute teacher is sleeping. As one can imagine, Tyra was appalled and gave some of the kids a stern talking-to, but perhaps more disturbingly, she also went into unnecessary detail with some of the parents on hand, pointing out repeatedly that their kids are sexual beings. It was definitely a big cringe-fest for everyone. Then Tyra asked a teenage lesbian to discuss the specifics of her trysts in the back of the classroom during movie days. The kid did such a good job, it sounded like she was reading a Penthouse Forum letter out loud. Clip above. More »

Technical Virgins: Do Oral And Anal Count As "Real" Sex?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 18:30:00 EDT

You probably gave a blow job or got eaten out before you ever had vaginal intercourse (assuming you're straight, natch). So if you did everything except letting the boy put his Linus in your Snoopy, did you consider yourself a virgin? A study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that 70% of kids age 12 - 16 believe that oral sex doesn't count, and 16% believe that anal doesn't either. It's interesting because, like, what really is sex? 'Cause the whole "penis in the vagina" thing seems, I don't know, too biblical or something. Besides, if that's the real definition, then that means that pretty much every gay person—unless they had a "bisexual" transition period—is still a virgin. More »

Vintage Ad Sells A Better-Tasting Vagina?

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 17:30:00 EDT

In this ad from 1936, canned-food company Del Monte lets housewives in on the "secret" to putting a smile on their husbands' faces: Pineapple juice! Pineapple juice is thought to be a home remedy for making vaginas (and semen) taste "better", and Del Monte, knowing that the way to a man's heart is through oral, really laid it on thick in the copy of the ad:

If you want to change grouches to grins — give that man of yours Del Monte Pineapple Juice. Cater to his fondness for flavor. Men like the rich, ripe taste of this juice — the definite pineapple flavor it has. They like its freshness—the bracing refreshment it always brings. You'll know how extra good this juice must be!
