Deepthroating / Deepthroat

Deepthroating refers to a form of oral sex in which the penis is taken deep into the throat. The term deepthroat describes the same or a closely related practice. Depending on anatomy, relaxation, and experience, the gag reflex may be triggered; this is an important sign that the act can be physically demanding.

This practice requires special caution, slow progression, and constant control by the people involved. It must never be forced or done against the receiving person’s will. If there is shortness of breath, pain, nausea, or panic, it must be stopped immediately. Because of the risks of injury and choking, deepthroating should not be attempted lightly.
