[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7696990#post7696990](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=7696990#post7696990) About the discussion of sex on these forums: “The medical approach is OK, the Penthouse approach is not.” So I’ll use the medical terms - fellatio and cunnilingus. What do you think of them and what is your background? My sister’s pentecostal pastor actually said in a sermon that oral sex is unclean. Personally I’m not much of a fan of it. I especially feel some repulsion towards cunnilingus which is why I’ve never tried it. I guess people shouldn’t get too explicit or at least approach this in a clinical way. ---

All I know is the only thing wrong with 69 is the view. ---

In the last 10 years the epidemic has been proved… probably getting worse as the worst forms of HPV spread. [http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Tumors/UterusTumOverviewID5157.html](http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Tumors/UterusTumOverviewID5157.html) Vaccinations only reduce the chances. You can also get bacterial infections, but thats easily treatable. ---

> [@bienville](#): > > Anyone unwilling to perform oral sex should not be allowed to receive it. There should be a law… Different body parts are involved though - different possible scents/tastes - different chance of coming in contact with pubic hair. But anyway I don’t really feel much pleasure from receiving it - I’m anorgasmic - I’ve been that way since about the time I first got really depressed. Lately I’ve tried to get my wife to suck on my testicles instead - just to see what it’s like. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > All I know is the only thing wrong with 69 is the view. Get the angles right and even the view is passable. I’m more than happy to let a skilled fellatrix do her work, and I very much enjoy dining at the Y myself, whether the activities are undertaken simultaneously or separately. 😃 ---

BTW my wife prefers sex in the dark so there never really is a view. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > I mean enough about your personal mating habits. Are you saying that because I have sex with my wife in the dark and don’t want to give her oral sex that I must have a mental illness - something from DSM-5 perhaps? > [@](#): > > In an OCD kind of way and in a way that makes me doubt your sincerity. I’ve never been diagnosed with anything related to OCD. I have been diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder and borderline aspergers (only by one person though). So you don’t know what you’re talking about. As far as sincerity goes, what don’t you think I’m insincere about? ---

> [@JohnClay](#): > > I guess people shouldn’t get too explicit or at least approach this in a clinical way. Uh . . . huh? Anyway . . . My partner loves to do me, but doesn’t like being done. I love to receive it, but don’t like to do it. A perfect match. That’s the only penis-in-hole sex we do, but we also have a dungeon in the attic. ---
