text: Oh goodness. So if Seedfeeder only does heterosexual images, that's heteronormative and bad. But then he does female homosexuality - nope, still bad, must just be for the male gaze. But then he also does male homosexuality - at frot and top, bottom and versatile - well, that goes unnoticed as inconvenient to this shaming. As for old paintings being implied to not be for self-titillation, have I got news for you. Crossroads -talk- 02:52, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

message: The article describes that "barrier protection" can be used, but doesn't describe in detail what can be used and what's most effective (ie female condom, tongue condom, dental dam).
Should be mentioned in article.

Cunnilingus is an oral sex act performed by a person on the vulva or vagina of another person. The clitoris is the most sexually sensitive part of the human female genitalia, and its stimulation may result in a woman becoming sexually aroused or achieving orgasm.
Cunnilingus can be sexually arousing for participants and may be performed by a sexual partner as foreplay to incite sexual arousal before other sexual activities (such as vaginal or anal intercourse) or as an erotic and physically intimate act on its own. Cunnilingus can be a risk for contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but the transmission risk for oral sex, especially HIV transmission, is significantly lower than for vaginal or anal sex.
Oral sex is often regarded as taboo, but most countries do not have laws which ban the practice. Commonly, heterosexual couples do not regard cunnilingus as affecting the virginity of either partner, while lesbian couples commonly do regard it as a form of virginity loss.See pages 11 and 47-49 for male virginity, how gay and lesbian individuals define virginity loss, and for how the majority of researchers and heterosexuals define virginity loss/"technical virginity" by whether or not a person has engaged in vaginal sex.  People may also have negative feelings or sexual inhibitions about giving or receiving cunnilingus or may refuse to engage in it.

Cunnilingus can be sexually arousing for participants and may be performed by a sexual partner as foreplay to incite sexual arousal before other sexual activities (such as vaginal or anal intercourse) or as an erotic and physically intimate act on its own. Unprotected cunnilingus can be a risk for contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but the transmission risk for unprotected oral sex, especially HIV transmission, is significantly lower than for unprotected vaginal or unprotected anal sex. Protection requires special types of condoms.
Oral sex is often regarded as taboo, but most countries do not have laws which ban the practice. Many heterosexual couples do not regard cunnilingus as affecting the virginity of either partner as long as the virginal membrane is not penetrated, while lesbian couples commonly do regard it as a form of virginity loss.See pages 11 and 47-49 for male virginity, how gay and lesbian individuals define virginity loss, and for how the majority of researchers and heterosexuals define virginity loss/"technical virginity" by whether or not a person has engaged in vaginal sex.  People may also have negative feelings or sexual inhibitions about giving or receiving cunnilingus or may refuse to engage in it. Some countries, such as Canada, do not ban cunnilingus performed by animals and pets.Supreme Court of Canada Judgment 2016-SCC-22 -- https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/15991/index.do Naxos2000 (talk) 18:39, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

text: , while that's true, and the particular text in this article appears to be longstanding and it flows pretty normally as it is so I don't see a need to change it, FYI we do usually use words for the sex of a group of people in accord with the relevant reliable sources on a given topic. This is per community consensus stating that  In some articles people will make edit requests going the other direction - to replace "women" with "people with vulvas", say - and those get turned down; likewise sometimes there is a need to repair edits doing so.

replies: text: Crossroads, you're more than welcome to make the edit yourself if you wish. A declined request isn't a hard ruling. As for the content issue, when dealing with describing a sex act I think that saying "another person" is a reasonable description that doesn't run into any of the issues that might arise when dealing with medical topics. There are all manner of situations, some not involving trans people, where cunnilingus can be performed on someone who is not female. Using general language covers all of those cases without leading to any imprecision that could pop up in articles on illnesses, pregnancies, genetics, or similar. Why not cover all of the use cases in a way that doesn't create any confusion?  That's just my .02 though.Also, is it cunnilingus if you perform it on yourself? I guess that might tilt things further in one direction or the other. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:02, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Cunnilingus preformed on oneself is autocunnilingus. Strangely that article also uses woman where person would suffice and be more accurate. Sideswipe9th (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

message: There have been studies and research done that link men performing oral sex on their partners to possible positive effects to the general health of those men. Due to low sample size and different methodology of the studies there is not an settled scientific consensus on whenever there is direct causation of those health-benefits due to the performance of cunnilingus by men. I still think this information should be included, perhaps in an "there is an scientific discussion here" kind of way. Also I think this would be good because of the media attention those studies have drawn (especially in sex-sensationalist publications).

replies: text: Please find sources that meet WP:MEDRS before adding anything about this to the article. I looked at the Cosmo article, and it's "Gee-whiz, I just pulled this stuff out of my ass right before the deadline"-type 'journalism'. Haven't read the other ones, but if they are anything like that, they are not anywhere close to suitable for this article. Mathglot (talk) 00:45, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
