 Deep Throat - home
Deep throat is a form of oral sex - a type of fellatio in which the whole erect penis is taken into the mouth (sometimes including the scrotum).
Deep throating may facilitate swallowing of the semen, as the ejaculate may bypass most of the tongue and tastebuds, depending on the depth of penetration at the time of release.
If the penis is held completely inside the mouth and throat as the man releases (i.e., with the recipient's lips pressed firmly against the man's abdomen and scrotum), the semen may be released into the stomach without the recipient having to swallow.
