Page "Fellatio" Paragraph 13

The Ancient Indian Kama Sutra, dating from the first century AD, describes oral sex, discussing fellatio in great detail and only briefly mentioning cunnilingus.

However, according to the Kama Sutra, fellatio is above all a characteristic of eunuchs ( or, according to other translations, of effeminate homosexuals or transwomen similar to the modern Hijra of India ), who use their mouths as a substitute for female genitalia.
