Oral sex is one of a man's favorite pastimes, and the idea of autofellatio - that is, being able to administer oral sex to oneself - is appealing to most men (even if they may be loath to acknowledge it). There are likely very few men who have not made at least one half-hearted attempt to see if their mouths could reach their penises, but the difficulty discourages most who try it. (And those who have not practiced good penis care may find the up-close look at the organ that this provides to be a wake-up call to take better care of their junk.) For those who wish to make further attempts, there are a number of tips that may increase the chances of success.

Prepare properly in advance.

Bending the body such that one's own mouth can envelop one's own penis means putting the body in a position to which it is most likely quite unaccustomed. Just as one doesn't roll out of bed and immediately run for a mile, one needs to properly prepare to engage in autofellatio.

Ideally, a man needs to spend at least a few days "limbering up" before an attempt. Engaging in any number of stretching exercises that involve bending the back can help. For example, a man may sit with the soles of his feet touching and his knees spread out, clutch his feet with his hands and gently bend his head and back as close to the feet as possible, then return to his starting position. Do remember that the idea is to move gently. If possible, take a few yoga classes as one way to help limber up.

Prepare properly that day.

When trying to suck oneself, the bending is naturally going to put a lot of pressure on the stomach; therefore, it's a good idea not to eat or drink for a couple of hours before starting on the task. A man should also try to rid the bowels and bladder of content before beginning.

When fifteen or twenty minutes away from beginning, a man should take a hot bath in order to relax the muscles. He may also want to engage (carefully) in a few simple stretches while lying in the tub.

Take it lying down.

Most men are more likely to achieve autofellatio success in a prone position rather than standing or sitting. A man should lie with his head on a pillow (or several pillows, depending on his comfort level), then flip his legs behind his head, with his toes landing behind his head. (As always, he should move carefully at all times and stop if there is pain involved.) Some men may find it easier to do this by first moving their legs and hips up a wall, giving them more support, before flipping them forward. A man may then scoot forward so that the wall provides some back support. With the hands on the buttocks, gently move the penis closer to the mouth.

Persistence is key.

Very few men are limber enough to successfully perform oral sex on themselves the first time out. Being persistent is necessary; if the first attempt is a failure, the tenth may not be.

As mentioned above, autofellatio gives a man a whole new perspective on his equipment; using a top-drawer penis health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) makes the tool look more inviting, both for the autofellator and to any partner he may have. Dry, flaky organ skin can discourage anyone from putting an organ in their mouth, so a cream with a high-end emollient like Shea butter is needed to keep the skin smooth and healthy. In addition, vitamin C in a cream will help with collagen production and penile tissue firmness, which makes the member more palatable.
