Autocunnilingus
Autocunnilingus is a form of masturbation involving the oral stimulation of one's own vulva.[1][2] Performing cunnilingus on oneself requires an unusually high degree of flexibility such as that of contortionists or double-jointed people.[3][4][5][6]
Documentation
[edit]While possible for a small number of women,[2][7] autocunnilingus has not been thoroughly studied or well-documented.[8] It has, however, been reported as a self-destructive fantasy,[9] and occurrences of the act have been reported in macaques and chimpanzees.[10][11]
Fiction
[edit]In "Besorgung", one of his Venetian Epigrams , Goethe imagined Bettina becoming sufficiently limber to perform autocunnilingus and do without men.[12][13] Camille Paglia compares the resulting image to William Blake's "engravings of solipsistically contorted figures".[14]
