Irrumatio[edit]

Irrumatio is a term used in human sexuality to describe a specific form of oral sex where the person receiving the act actively thrusts their penis into the mouth of the partner. This act is distinct from fellatio, where the partner performing the oral sex is the active participant.

Etymology[edit]

The term "irrumatio" is derived from the Latin word "irrumare," which means "to thrust into the mouth." It is a term that has been used historically in ancient Rome to describe this particular sexual act.

Practice[edit]

In the practice of irrumatio, the person receiving the oral sex controls the movement and depth of penetration. This can be a consensual act between partners, where both parties agree on the dynamics of the encounter. Communication and consent are crucial to ensure the comfort and safety of both participants.

Cultural Context[edit]

Irrumatio, like many sexual practices, can have different connotations and levels of acceptance depending on cultural and social contexts. In some cultures, it may be considered a taboo or private act, while in others, it might be more openly discussed or depicted in art and literature.

Health Considerations[edit]

As with any form of sexual activity, there are health considerations to keep in mind. Safe sex practices, such as the use of condoms or dental dams, can help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Open communication about boundaries and comfort levels is also important to ensure a positive experience for both partners.
