I was just wondering what was going thru the mind of the first person to try oral sex.
Who would think to put your mouth there? And then you got to figure in times past that things weren’t so “fresh” if you get my drift.
So what’s your perspective on how such an enjoyable thing got started?
Considering animals always put there mouth “there” when meeting other animals, I doubt it was a problem.
Just don’t try it in a singles bar…
I learned THAT the hard way…
It was a customary way to greet people in Lesbos and Bumfuck, Egypt.
I’ll keep that in mind Smug!
No seriously guys. I mean was there a guy somewhere who just decided that hey I wonder what this would taste like. And what about the woman who he first tried it on.
I mean there are still people who think of oral sex as being nasty.
But to be one of the first people to try it. And then have to explain to others to try it that it is a whole new level of enjoyment on both parts.
My guess is that it was the same guy who first thought of drinking cow’s milk. That psycho would put -anything- in his mouth.
I would guess it started out as a forbidden pleasure/fetish much like anal sex was until relatively recently (and still is depending on who you ask).
My question would be what was indulged in regularly first? I’d almost venture to guess that anal sex was an easier leap of lust for two people. I mean the holes are awfully close together and, and they already had the mechanics figured out. Not to mention that gay sex has been going on as long as history has been recorded. Then again kissing has probably been around forever and it doesn’t seem to make a lick of sense either. Perhaps kissing and oral sex have always gone together, you know, mouth = pleasure. Its my theory that all the acts above go back farther than the spoken language, so its probably a moot point. My guess is that all those acts were going on before Homo Sapiens walked the earth, so we can probably thank our ancestors.
Well, if you go back, evolutionarily speaking, to when we were more like other animals, we probably sniffed and licked each other quite a bit, as other animals do. It’s a way to get to know someone non-verbally, to recognize a friend or foe. The whole concept of “freshness” is fairly recent. Before we had access to running, heated water people smelled more like themselves. But, since everyone did, we were used to it and probably didn’t find it as offensive as we do now. Infection and disease, though, often cause extremely offensive odors, far beyond a healthy, human stink. One might even suggest that sniffing and licking would give one information about the health of one’s partner.
This brought to mind one of my first visits to my pediatrician with my firstborn. Her umbilicus was looking a bit red and I was worried about infection. I brought her in. He noted that she had no fever, then stuck his nose in her belly and inhaled deeply. “Smells fine,” he informed me. “Her diaper was probably rubbing on it.” Don’t discount the diagnostic powers of the nose!
The first scenario that leaps to my mind is that somebody asked for the favor. And, by golly, it worked out just fine.
In one of Jean Auel’s sequels to Clan of the Cave Bear, Ayla gives the first documented, prehistoric-yet-historic blow job to Jondolar.
It’s … interesting to read about her intense curiousity to put it in her mouth, and him telling her she didn’t have to.
Well…as far as kissing goes, I’ve read it was ‘invented’ sometime during the Middle Ages as a way for husbands to make sure their wives hadn’t been hitting the ol’ mead barrel whilst said husbands were out catching the plague, or whatever husbands did in the Middle Ages. Of course, I think my source for this may be Tom Robbins, so take it as you will. If it’s true, it’s my choice for the best thing Western civilization has ever produced.
I won’t even venture a guess to the anal/oral sex portions of the question. My lack of knowledge has been on quite enough display already here.

Who ever thought it was a good idea to take a bunch of dried, crushed-up leaves, stick it in their mouths and light it on fire?

…btw, if there is anyone in doubt out there, oral sex is definitely a good idea.
