Deep-throating
sexual act / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deep throating is a form of fellatio, when an erect penis is placed inside a partner's mouth, deep enough to enter the throat.[1] The person whose penis is inserted is normally 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, because of the natural gag reflex[2] that happens when the soft palate is touched.[3] Different people have different sensitivities to the reflex, but some people learn to suppress the reflex.
Usually, the giving partner's tongue is immobilized during deep-throating and they also are not able to suck.[4]
