Oral Sex: It Shouldn't Leave A Bad Taste In Your Mouth

There are loads, loooads, of toe curling reasons why oral sex is arguably the only thing better than sex. In fact, this pleasurable pastime was considered so sinfully good that it was illegal in all 50 states until the 1950s.

Thanks to the sexual revolution in the '60s, '70s and '80s, consenting adults are now able to tell that law to suck it.

Since then, we've come a long way as a country. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, over 85 percent of sexually active men and women say they've had oral sex at least once in their life.

If you and your significant other need any more reason to engage in some mouth action (other than just practicing your God-give, legal right) science - yeah, science - has your back.

With an abundance of delightfully delicious health benefits, you and your partner will be hard-pressed to find reasons not to be down with going down.

"[Oral sex] helps both parties sink more fully into the roles of giving or receiving pleasure and can therefore lead to greater enjoyment for both roles," Powell explains. "The more you are enjoying oral, the more you will release endorphins."
