Autocunnilingus is a form of masturbation involving the oral stimulation of one's own vulva. Performing cunnilingus on oneself requires an unusually high degree of flexibility such as that of contortionists or double-jointed people.

Documentation

While possible for a small number of women, autocunnilingus has not been thoroughly studied or well-documented. It has, however, been reported as a self-destructive fantasy, and other occurrences of the act have been reported in macaques and chimpanzees.

Fiction

In "Besorgung", one of his Venetian Epigrams, Goethe imagined Bettina becoming sufficiently limber to perform autocunnilingus and do without men. Camille Paglia compares the resulting image to William Blake's "engravings of solipsistically contorted figures".
