Is oral sex selfish? From Refinery 29: Communicating their desires, which could help to ease the guilt, says Rosara Torrisi, PhD, an AASECT certified sex therapist and the founder of the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy. "Somebody can completely and utterly enjoy giving oral sex," she says.

And, it's the responsibility of that person to tell their partner if they don't enjoy giving, Dr. Torrisi says.

What's the connection between kink and sexual abuse? You have to be careful about these associations. Kink and sexual trauma do not overlap, as some might think. For some people with sexual abuse histories, engaging in consensual boundary play can be empowering. This is not something I recommend off the bat. For anyone interested in kink, I always encourage them to join FetLife and to seek out the respected community members for the types of play they are looking to enjoy.
