Irrumatio
Irrumation is the act of thrusting of the cock between the legs, tits, feet, upper thighs (also known as interfemoral sex), mouth and throat, or between the abdomens of two partners. In the ancient Roman sexual vocabulary, irrumatio is strictly a form of os impurum, face fucking, in which a man shoves his dick into someone else's throat, almost always that of another man. "Latin erotic terminology actually distinguishes two acts. First, fellation, in which the man’s penis is orally excited by the [fellator]. Second, irrumation, in which the man (the irrumator)... engages in motions by moving his hips and body in a rhythm of his own choice". A Latin synonym for "irrumator" is labda (Varr. ap Non. 70,11; Aus. Epigr. 126).
The History Of Face Fucking
The English noun irrumatio or irrumation and verb irrumate come from the Latin irrumare, to force one to perform fellatio.J. L. Butrica, in his review of R. W. Hooper's edition of The Priapus Poems,a corpus of poems known as Priapeia in Latin, states that "some Roman sexual practices, like irrumatio, lack simple English equivalents". Irrumatio was a distinct sexual practice in ancient Rome which is now called facefucking or throat banging. J. N. Adams states that "it was a standard joke to speak of irrumatio as a means of silencing someone". Face Fucking was considered to be an act of defilement: the mouth had a particularly defined role as the organ of oratory, as in Greece, to participate in the central public sphere, where discursive powers were of great importance. Thus, to penetrate the mouth could be taken to be a sign of massive power differential within a relationship. Erotic art from Pompeii depicts irrumatio along with fututio, fellatio and cunnilingus, and pedicatio or anal sex. The extant wall paintings depicting explicit sex often appear to be in bathhouses and brothels, and blowjobs were something usually practiced with whores because of their lowly status. Craig A. Williams argues that irrumatio was regarded as a degrading act, even more so than ass fucking.S. Tarkovsky states that, despite being popular, it was thought to be a hostile act, "taken directly from the Greek, whereby the Greek men would have to force the fellatio by violence". Roman historian Suetonius has a passage in his De Vita Caesarum which inconclusively states that Roman emperor Tiberius took great pleasure from making women, even those of rank, to swallow cock. In oral sex, irrumatio is performed by actively shoving the dick into the mouth of the partner. In slang, this act is called face fucking, throat fucking, mouth fucking, or skull fucking. Fellatio and irrumatio can be used interchangeably while giving head. Indeed the distinction between fellatio and irrumatio has vanished in modern English and the latter term has fallen out of widespread use.
