Woman performing deep-throat fellatio
Over-the-edge deep-throating position

Deep-throating is a sexual act in which a man's sexual partner takes his partner's entire erect penis deep into the sex partner's mouth, past the epiglottis and into the throat. The practice is a form of fellatio, a form of oral sex.[1][2] For deep-throating, the penis has to be long enough so that it can reach the back of the partner's throat.[1] The person whose penis is inserted is usually referred as the receiving partner, and the person who performs deep-throating is referred to as the giving partner.

It is difficult for most people to perform deep-throating, due to the natural gag reflex[3] evoked when the soft palate is touched.[4] Different people have different sensitivities to the reflex, but some people learn to suppress the reflex.

The practice is more impressive than adding anything to the stimulation of the penis, as the giving partner's tongue is immobilized during deep-throating.[5]

Sex positions

The position of both partners is important in performing deep throat. For deep-throating, the mouth and throat should be aligned into a straight line.

"Over-the-edge" is a common position for deep-throating. In this position, the giving partner lays on his/her back with the head hanging off the edge of the bed and the receiving partner stands or kneels in front of the giving partner, with his penis at the giving partner's mouth level.

Another position used for deep-throating involves the giving partner sitting on the receiving partner's chest, with his feet or penis in front of the giving partner.

The 69 position is another position for deep-throating.[5]
