> [@silenus](#): > > Ron Jeremy has done it to himself, on film. He only meets the last of the above requirements. 😃 He was reasonably fit in his early films like Cecil Howard’s _Foxtrot_. He discussed his ability to do this in the documentary _Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy_. I think a lot of guys try it when they are young and limber, but would sooner die than admit it to anyone. Dogs are not quite as easily embarrassed. As the old saw goes: “Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they _can_.” ---

I can auto-fellate. It’s a combination of being in-shape (i.e., flexible and thin) and having a long-ish erect penis (8"). It’s not nearly as much fun as you think it’d be, though. I can get my entire mouth around my dick, but auto-fellating feels strange. I never do it except as a party trick for certain women. ---

When I was younger and about 70 lbs lighter, I could do this. I’m of pretty average length, and I’m not “double-jointed” or particularly flexible. It’s just a matter of finding a position that works and stretching a bit. You can’t do it right away – it took me a few weeks of stretching in similar positions before I could do it. It actually came about pretty accidentally. Anyways, yeah, it’s not particularly great. It’s a bit of a turn-on to be ABLE to do it, but it’s not that great in itself. For one, yeah, there’s definitely a “tickling yourself” element, it just doesn’t feel as intense or good as when it’s being done by another person. Also, the positions required are pretty awkward – it’s kinda like trying to get off while standing on one foot, turning your neck as far to one side as possible, and breathing with only half your lung capacity. Not impossible…but clumsy. ---

I could do this, to a point, when I was much younger as well. FWIW, the “point” I could do it to was the rim around the head. The same thing ended my ability as ended Ron’s. ---

Warning TMI I don’t know what you guys are talking about! I used to be able to deep throat myself and it was everything I’d ever dreamed of. Then, back in 95 my body chemistry underwent some odd change. My neurochemistry shifted so that my meds didn’t work anymore, and all my tendons became very rigid and tight. I lost my hopes, dream, future and the ability to blow myself all in one year. I hope to repair my brain and recover my former flexibility. If the latter happens, I’m sure it will be a trick I’ll show off at every DopeFest. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/auto-fellatio-physiologically-possible-or-not/506952.md?page=1)
