Basic Types of Sexual  Behavior

Homosexual Intercourse

Oral Intercourse

Oral intercourse is here defined as involving sexual contact between the sex organs of one person and the mouth of another. The sex organs and the mouth are the two most easily stimulated erogenous zones of the body, and it is therefore hardly surprising that they should sometimes be brought into direct contact. Indeed, such behaviour is quite common in nearly all mammals, and, from a biological standpoint, there is no reason why human beings as the most highly developed and most sensitive mammals should be an exception. However, in some human societies and historical periods oral intercourse was considered sinful, criminal, or sick, and people who engaged in it were severely punished. Still, in spite of its past religious, legal, and psychiatric condemnation in Western countries, oral intercourse was and is widely practised by both heterosexual and homosexual couples. The techniques employed are, of course, also the same in both cases.

Basic Types of Sexual Behaviour

Homosexual Intercourse: Oral Intercourse

Males: Fellatio

The term "fellatio" (latin fellare: to suck) is used to describe the licking or sucking of the male sex organs. Obviously, when two males have sexual intercourse, they may very well take turns fellating each other. Naturally, two men can also engage in simultaneous mutual oral intercourse (see "69" below).

In the past, some people tried to distinguish between "active" and "passive" partners in fellatio, thereby turning the meaning of these words on their head. According to this curious distinction, the male fellator, in spite of his busy movements, played a “passive”, female role, while the male who was being fellated, in spite of his studied inactivity and immobility, remained true to his role as an “active” male. This line of reasoning then led to the bizarre claim that only the busily moving “passive” partner was a homosexual, while the immobile “active” partner somehow preserved his heterosexuality. (In another version of the same argument, a receptor [ie, in this case the man receiving the penis in his mouth] is, by definition, always playing a female role, while the role of an inserter [ie, the man inserting his penis] is always male. Without any further explanation, the "female role" is then again defined as homosexual, the "male role" as heterosexual.)

Not surprisingly, many guilt-ridden ambisexual men and male prostitutes used this kind of contorted logic to rationalise their own homosexual activity. They insisted on their immobile, inactive "active" role, avoided any movement of their own, and tried to appear as cold and aloof as possible. They then claimed that they were not really doing anything "queer". Actually, activity and passivity have nothing to do with either biological sex, or gender, or sexual orientation. Anybody who can be brought to orgasm by a man is sexually fully responsive to him, and no amount of sophistry can explain this fact away.

"69"

The slang term "sixty-nine" (or French soixante-neuf) is used to describe a form of oral intercourse in which the sexual partners simultaneously lick each other's sex organs. In doing so, the position of their bodies In relation to each other is similar to that of the inverted numerals in the number 69. Obviously, both male and female couples can engage in this practice. Simultaneous mutual oral intercourse can be used just as a means of stimulation, but it can also be continued through orgasm, particularly if the partners take their time and assume a comfortable position lying on their sides.

Anal Intercourse

Anal intercourse is here defined as involving sexual contact between the penis of one partner and the anus of the other.

Since the anus is one of the more sensitive erogenous zones of the body, many men and women enjoy some form of anal stimulation during their sexual activity. As a matter of fact, some individuals insert a finger or some cylindrical object into their anus for additional stimulation when they masturbate. It is therefore hardly surprising that, during sexual intercourse between males, the anus of one partner and the penis of the other should sometimes be brought into direct contact.
