Eddie Murphy was talking about a porn star (Ron Jeremy, John Holmes) who had the ability to give himself oral sex. Eddie stated that if he could do this, that he would never leave the house.
When I was younger, I could barely put my mouth on my member, now I have gained too much weight and cannot do it anymore. Can anyone out there do that, give themselves head? I would think, what a wonderful gift to have! But that is just me.
Anybody with a long neck and a long knob?

I had the misfortune of seeing Ron Jeremy do it once. Oh god…
Even if I could do it, I wouldn’t though.

Yes, it is possible, even for women.
There are sometimes links on message boards that you wish you’d never clicked on.

I can but don’t. It’s way to much work. Get a Girfriend/boyfriend and get on with life. It’s more fun with a parnter.

Making Oedipus seem comparatively outgoing ain’t necessarily a good thing.

It wouldn’t be that comfortable being litterally bent in half and not able to breath… plus you only got one “angle of approach” (180 degrees inverted) and no ability to try any alternate angles.
If you’re big enough not to have to hold your breath and turn blue trying to bend far enough over, you shouldn’t need to do it yourself (yes, I too have seen the Ron Jeremy clip… shudder) - just do a little self-promotion of your “asset” and you could get enough others to do it for you fairly regularly.

I feel like disagreeing with you and at the same time, turning this into one of those “do decapitated heads remain conscious” threads.

Well, the hand is more versatile than the mouth and much easier to use (for most folks).
And yes, there are some people who don’t ever leave the house.
Except for more porn.

If you could do it, wouldn’t it be bad if you had a wet dream and woke up with a sore back and a strange taste in your mouth.

I remember I was browsing an Adam & Eve catalogue many years ago. These advertise porn and sex toys and are geared towards both men and women. Anyway, one of the videos advertised was a compilation of auto-fellating scenes called “Blowing Your Own Horn” – the cover picture was of a naked guy playing a french horn and holding it so that the bell covered his crotch. That was such an awesome cover I seriously thought about buying it for novelty value.
