Will Ferrel had a skit about a guy who took yoga for seven years just so he could suck himself off: when accused of being gay, he pulled his head out of his pants and said, “you masturbate with your own hand, but that doesn’t make you gay.”
I think it is a bit gayer to suck yourself off, “own hand” logic notwithstanding. I mean, I use my hand to scratch myself absentmindedly and do all sorts of things I wouldn’t do with my tongue. I pick up food off the floor that I certainly wouldn’t eat. So trying to give yourself a blowjob seems to go an extra mile, it’s something you have to _really want._ There’s a lot more finesse involved, really.

Do it for a few years and get back to us.

If I shove a dildo up my ass while masturbating does that make me gay?
I’m asking, does it?!?!

Serious answer: Gayness is being attracted to people of the same sex as you. What you do with your own body is irrelevant.

If you like to do it while appreciating your own physique in the mirror then maybe, but otherwise no.

I remember that sketch.
I’ve seen contortionists do some pretty amazing positions, including ones that would seem to allow it but of course I haven’t seen _that_.
Still, my curiosity has been poked. Can anyone verify that it can be done? :dubious:
(you all know you’re wondering so don’t bother feigning innocence) 😉

When I was 13 or so I had a porn magazine that had an ad for a movie with a guy doing that. My curiosity was peaked enough to at least look at the pictures. The guy was bigger than normal and was in a position that looked very uncomfortable but the pictures looked real enough. I don’t imagine it’d be too hard to find videos/pictures of it on the net. Heck I imagine there’ll be whole fetish sites with just that.

Not that I’ve done this but I don’t see how that’d make you anything but a narcissist. Now if you admired your own body while imagining it belonged to some hot guy at the office…well that would be pretty gay.

“piqued”.
I’ve seen that clip. It certainly can be done. But it sure doesn’t look comfortable enough to be worth it.

I would hazard a guess that whatever pleasure you get is offset by the discomfort of the contortion, rather like eating a sundae while getting a bikini wax.

If you can find an old porno called _Lips_, you can see Ron Jeremy sucking himself. So, yes, it can be done. It’s a pretty good flick, even without that unusual scene. I haven’t seen any other examples, but I haven’t looked for them. If pudgy Ron Jeremy could do it, surely some leaner, younger men are able to tongue their own twangers.

Of course it’s possible. Some guys are packing 12+ inches. Put a ruler in your lap and see if you can bite the tip.
I’ve seen a video of a guy fucking his own ass. But he pulls out before he cums, because coming in your own ass is gay.

The movie [**Shortbus**](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367027/) features an auto-fellatio scene–didn’t look comfy but it was definitely real.
Being gay is a state of mind, having nothing to do with what you do or don’t do physically; there are people who identify as gay who have never had sex with another person of any gender. Anything you do by yourself, with yourself is just creative masturbation–not sex.

There are definitely men in the world who can suck themselves off. Some just barely and some with the ability to deep throat themselves. (I’ve seen one video where the guy gave himself a blowjob as well as any girl has ever given me.)
I’ll admit, I’ve tried to suck myself. Even with my tongue stretched out I’m still short by two inches or so. Nevertheless, if I could, I’d definitely be blowing myself from time to time. The only problem I would have with it is that you’d be in a little pain from contorting yourself to that position and that’d detract from the overall experience. If you could eliminate the body contortion, I might marry myself.

Which brings up yet another query.
Does getting a bikini wax make you gay?

Sucking your own dick doesn’t make you gay, but I’d definitely question swallowing.

From time to time I’ve sniffed my own underwear. I’m not gay.
