Do men and women get the same pleasure from oral sex? Science has provided an answer.

Oral sex has long ceased to be something forbidden and has taken a stable position in the sexual lives of couples. It is nearly as difficult to find a person who does not engage in oral sex as it is to find someone who has never eaten a banana (and this is not a euphemism).

It is commonly assumed that everyday oral sex is liked by all its participants. But is this really the case? And one more question: do men and women have the same enthusiasm towards oral sex? These questions were posed by Canadian scientists. And they did not ask them for idle curiosity; they conducted a study among 900 Canadian students who lead an active sexual life. They published the results in the scientific journal "Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality".

To begin with, the scientists asked the respondents, men and women, whether they liked being the receiving party of oral sex. In this matter, representatives of both genders demonstrated remarkable gender unity: 97.1% of men and 95.4% of women stated that yes, they liked it when they are engaged in oral sex.

However, when it came to whether they liked engaging in oral sex with a partner, that is, being the active party, the percentages fell out of line. Thus, 92.9% of men liked to perform cunnilingus on their partner. At the same time, only 82.7% of women liked being the active party during oral sex with their man. Which, of course, is somewhat sad.
