    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sexology
    • Clinical Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Autofellatio, a rare sexual behavior, has limited documented cases.
    • Understanding the psychological underpinnings of autofellatio is crucial for clinical practice.

    Observation:

    • This study reviews existing literature on autofellatio.
    • Two new cases of individuals engaging in autofellatio are presented.
    • A third case details a neurotic patient experiencing a reversal of autofellatio fantasy.

    Findings:

    • The reported cases, consistent with prior literature, suggest a strong association between autofellatio and psychological factors.
    • Key psychological elements identified include narcissism, dependency, and power conflicts.
    • The reversal of autofellatio fantasy in a neurotic patient highlights the complex interplay of these dynamics.

    Implications:

    • These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of atypical sexual behaviors and their psychological correlates.
    • Clinicians should consider narcissism, dependency, and power dynamics when assessing and treating individuals with autofellatio.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the developmental and psychodynamic aspects of autofellatio.
