To paraphrase a post from a similar thread- only if you’re watching figure skating while doing it. ---

[QUOTE=Lumpy] Sucking your own dick doesn’t make you gay, but I’d definitely question swallowing. [/QUOTE] I would nonetheless be gravely disappointed if I spent months—or years—acquiring the flexibility required to complete the act, only to discover that I was a spitter. ---

In _The Time Travellers Wife_, the time travelling character refers to **something** happening with himself in his teens. While I don’t recall the exact statement, I seem to recall it being something along the lines of " we were two 15 year old males who had not quite gotten around to girls yet. the solution was obvious." That particular character is not gay, and in fact seemed to view it as sort of an extreme masturbation. ---

OK, but what if he goes back and blows his grandfather? Wouldn’t that rip the fabric of the space-time comtinuum? ---

[QUOTE=ForumBot] Does sucking your own dick make you gay? [/QUOTE] I don’t have the ability to do it, but I would imagine that it would make a person very gay. Oh, you meant _homosexual_. No, then. ---

Meh. Show me a woman who can go down on herself and _then_ I’ll be impressed. On a more serious note, I don’t see how auto-fellatio is different from masturbation. It might mean you are more inclined towards the middle of the Kinsey scale, I suppose, but being turned on by yourself doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to be turned on by other people of the same gender as yours. ---

Went to youtube and did a search on “contortionist”. Many results. Yes it is possible for some women to do that. I feel so redundant. All I have to offer now is my ability to open jars. ---

Crap. I guess all I can do now is to wait for mass-produced fembots. (sans the assasination sub-routine of course) ---

The question of the OP has been firmly answered (in the negative) and what passes for humor in this thread is pretty weak stuff. Closed. [/Modding] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-sucking-your-own-dick-make-you-gay/431110.md?page=2)
