What is oral copulation?

Oral Copulation

Oral copulation, also known as oral sex, is a sexual activity involving the use of the mouth, lips, or tongue to stimulate the genitals of another person. It encompasses various forms, including:

• Fellatio: Oral stimulation of the penis.
• Cunnilingus: Oral stimulation of the vulva or clitoris.
• Anilingus: Oral stimulation of the anus.

It is often considered a form of sexual expression and can be part of partnered sexual activity or solo pleasure.
