Actually, one of my professors in college mentioned that the single most requested act in frontier brothels was oral sex. That beats “bringing it back from France” by 75 years or so.
Didn’t Rae Dawn Chong go down on another caveman in Quest For Fire?
I’d imagine that a lot of people still see oral sex as a chore or something icky that they wouldn’t ask from their lovely wife. My reasoning is: on the original Cathouse documentary, Air Force Amy was talking about how the men always ask for oral sex. She said they tell her it is because they couldn’t bring themselves to expect their wife to do it after she’s been at home, raising the kids all day (or whatever else).
Sorta silly to me, but to each is his own.
And I know mailmen, my grandma, old people, and my mom have oral sex. Doesn’t mean I want to have to think about it. And that episode of Dr. Phil made me think about it! Damn you Phil!!!
Hmm. I see this is well on its way to being Most Quoted Post, but…I will quote it anyway. And agree with DiosaBellissima and Millit. Oral sex was not always so common.
Those of us lucky (or smart) enough to be recieving Sampiro’s missives will have read the story of HIS grandfather’s venture into fellatio. And subsequent retreat. It was not a given. And no, not everyone’s grandma would know anything about it.
Not that I’m speaking of my own granny, now she’s a wild woman .
I promise I’m not trying to ruin a perfectly tasty thread , but here’s my infodump:
I read an article recently about conservative christians who vow to remain virgins until married. A study confirmed that oral and anal sex was dramatically more common among that group than in the population at large. I just couldn’t grasp the idea of devout followers going “you know we can’t do that nasty thing, hon, so let’s just have anal sex”.
Also, the AIDS epidemic has changed sexual behavior, favoring oral to genital sex. While it may or may not reflect safety accurately, that’s the effect. There is also a startling trend among teens commonly having oral sex by age 12-13. A few years ago, one of my daughter’s friends had never kissed a boy, but had given head to boys that were total strangers. She was 13 at the time. I read it’s pretty commonly viewed by kids as less intimate than kissing.
Okay, first of all, both of my grandmothers are dead. One was pretty wild, though, so I guess she might have done it.
I can’t imagine my parents doing it. Here’s the really funny part: They love Dr. Phil!!! I hope they were watching it!! But I’m not asking them.
Here’s another question: if so many teens are having oral sex now do the girls get it, too? I mean, it’s not really fair for the girls to give it and not receive it. Is that what they are stooping to now? Anything for a boy?
Just wondering. I’M NOT GOING TO ASK MY DAUGHTER!! As I said, she was mowing the lawn, just as all girls should do on a nice warm afternoon.
Well, I lost my virginity in 1954 but I didn’t receive or give oral sex until two years later. I haven’t stopped giving or receiving since that time and I’m now 65.
I don’t understand why people think that old folks can’t enjoy each other—do you kids think you invented this stuff? Wait till you get a few (okay, a lot) years of experience—it just gets better with time, like a lot of things do.
I think, unless my experience was completely different than most, that most girls that age don’t know they’re supposed to receive as well as give. I was 17 or so before I realised that hey! I could get something out of this too, it could actually feel good!
And it was beyond the boys not knowing how to please me or me not knowing how to please myself - I honestly didn’t know girls could enjoy sex. And man, I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit ever since.
I think the please-the-boy thing still prevails these days, not to mention the easier logistics and ‘time required’ for casual (or even semi-public) encounters. It does seem like cunnilingus is experiencing some kind of revival though. Or at least lip-service to it. (Hush, now. )
The sexual revolution has meant that sexual practices that were frequently reviled by earlier generation – especially oral sex – were becoming far more acceptable and widespread.
Between 1943 and 1999, the age of first intercourse dropped to 15 from 19 for females, while the percentage of sexually active young women rose to 47 percent from just 13 percent in 1943.
What on Earth am I going to say to my grandma when I see her Saturday? “Hey, Grandma, happy birthday, and did you ever give Granddad head?” shudder Because now I’m going to be thinking it. Thank you so much.
Ahem. I don’t watch him, but at least some 50+ year old men’s equipment is not moldy. Not if you use it enough.
Those of us just over 50 came of age in the middle of the sexual revolution. We invented sex, you know. And we do like grossing out our college age daughters.
Yeah, and Jondalar regularly goes down on whatshername in “The Clan of the Cave Bear” et. seq., although for the love of whomever I don’t recall her ever reciprocating. But then, if you’re doing the nasty on top of a glacier, I imagine most women would take a little warming up.
