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

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 other occurrences of the act have been reported in macaques and chimpanzees.^[10][11]

Fiction

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]
