Deepthroat - What Is it, Why Do It & How To Perform It

Deepthroating can be done as elegantly as you wish.

Learning how to deepthroat effectively can be a saucy way to spice things up in the bedroom (or wherever people give blowjobs nowadays). So what exactly is deepthroating? Well, it’s an act of oral sex where you take your partner’s penis in your mouth completely, right down to the base. The act can be difficult at first due to your gag reflex (known as the pharyngeal reflex or laryngeal spasm), which refers to the reflex contraction of the back of the throat that prevents choking. The unfortunate truth is that our throats are not designed to swallow cocks! That said, some people have it easier than others in this category. But with moderate practice most women and men can master the deepthroat technique. Only 10 to 15% of people have a hypersensitive gag reflex (HGR), which studies also show can be overcome. (Yes, deepthroat is one word and not hyphenated. The word has come to have its own meaning and is often used as a singular noun as we will use it here.)

There are a number of oral positions that can make this process a whole lot easier. Many of the traditional oral positions (i.e your man standing up or lying down) are more likely to make you gag and your eyes water, which might not be very pleasant for you or your partner. Any position where your head faces your man’s feet (think 69) will allow the penis to go more smoothly down your throat and reduce hitting your gag reflex directly. Although this will make it easier, deep-throating still requires practice on your part—which I’m sure your partner won’t mind.

Popular Culture

Have you ever seen the movie, Deep Throat? The movie is an American pornographic film from the 1970’s, and considered a classic. The story centers around a sexually frustrated woman on a quest to find her clitoris. When she visits a doctor she is surprised to learn that her most dire pleasure point actually exists inside her throat. The doctor discovers that Linda’s clitoris is located in her throat, and after he helps her to develop her oral sex skills,

Deep Throat has the distinction of being one of the first pornographic films to ever feature a plot, character development, and relatively high production values. The movie even earned mainstream attention and launched a “porno chic” trend, even though the film was banned in some jurisdictions and was the subject of obscenity trials. The movie launched the career of the star, Linda Lovelace, who was less than thrilled with the movie but happy about the fame, at least for a while. She made about five films during the early 1970’s, but by 1975 her porn career was over.

Desensitization – Improving The Technique

There are throat training exercises you can do to help desensitize your gag reflex. Keep in mind, this training must take place over time in order to be effective. Pick a phallic-shaped object, starting with something small like a toothbrush or your finger, and slowly move the object toward the back of your throat. When you feel yourself starting to gag, stop and try to relax while taking deep breaths in order to suppress your gag reflex. Try to hold it there for 10 Mississippis.

The more you practice this, the sooner you will see improvements. Once you are able to hold it there for the full 10 seconds, experiment with moving the object in and out slowly. This may stimulate your gag reflex even more. Make sure to keep breathing. Once you have conquered this with a small object, work your way up to a dildo. Hot tip: Do not practice this with a banana. It could break off into your throat and cause you to choke, which would be a very embarrassing way to go.

When it comes to deep throating, creating optimal breathing opportunities and using breath to help you to relax are important ingredients for success. Stuffed up with a head cold? Wait until your sinuses are cleared out, then try. Try experimenting with your breathing. Inhale as you slide him out, using that moment to take a breath. Try the reverse as well, inhale as he is going in and exhale as he is going out. Many experts recommend sticking your tongue out or flattening it in order to allow the penis to slide further down the throat. Keep in mind that this leaves your soft palate exposed and available to poking and prodding which is likely to trigger that gag reflex.

Go in hydrated like you are about to run a marathon. Dehydration is your enemy. You need saliva to do a good job. Putting some lube on your lips or on him can allow your mouth to go up and down smoothly which helps the whole process. If you are able to bring his penis into your mouth far enough, the back of your throat will begin to lubricate with a thick saliva.

Tips & Tricks For Deepthroating

Apply lubrication. Before you begin the process, apply lube to your partner’s penis to avoid friction, which can be painful for the receiver and the giver. We suggest coconut oil, which you can actually swish around in your mouth prior to the deepthroat for full lube action.
Find an aligned position. Placing the mouth and throat in an aligned position can help relax the throat muscles, making it easier for the penis to explore the depths of your throat. Lie back on a bed, with your head hanging slightly off the edge of the bed, and then ask your partner to lean over you, bringing the penis level with the mouth.
Let the receiver control the session. If you’re new to deep-throating, giving the receiver the power to control the process will ensure their comfort as they get familiar with the action.
Begin the blowjob. Use your hands to gently pull your partner into you as you guide their penis into your mouth. Start by performing a back and forth motion before taking their penis deeper into your mouth.
Find a rhythm. Once you’re comfortably able to hold their penis in the back of your throat, allow your partner to thrust gently. Breathe in and out through your nose, timing it with the retractions; if you need to, or are having trouble breathing, take breaks.
Watch some gay porn. When in doubt, watch some gay porn for some of the best deepthroating you can witness without attending a white party in Palm Springs or Folsom Street in San Francisco.

Deepthroating Can Be Rewarding At Both Ends

Aside from the obvious bliss of having a cock in a throat, at least from the penis’s point of view, when correctly stimulated orally, some women (and men) can achieve orgasms when performing deep-throating, or from having a finger or two rubbing the back of their throat. See our article on throat orgasms. These orgasms are related to the arousal of the pituitary gland at the back of the throat, which is also a minor chakra, according to Tantra. Also at no small play is the vagus nerve, the main nerve cluster which branches along the whole extent of our body, is responsible for stimulating the voicebox, the throat, the upper palate, the heart, the lungs and the digestive system. This nerve is also responsible for stimulating the cervix. Every time a cock get sucked in your relationship, don’t feel that deepthroating has to be on the menu. Reserve it for special occasions, for a special treat.

Bonus Points

Finish down your throat – Many guys will have received blow jobs where they cum in their partner’s mouth. Most likely, your man is used to this feeling and has done it many times before. In other words, you should have this mastered before taking it in your throat. It is more unusual and special for guys to experience cumming down their partner’s throat while getting deepthroated. It is a completely different feeling for your man…and, of course, it feels very different for the giver too. As with everything involved in deepthroating, this isn’t particularly easy, but if you can manage it, then you are going to have a euphoric man on your hands. Don’t miss our article all about cum!
