Oral sex is also a way to create a romantic bond. Although there is still a significant asymmetry between men and women, the practice is becoming commonplace.

Dr Catherine Solano explains to us all the benefits to be gained from it, for both those who receive it and those who give it. In 1970, the first year where figures were available in France, 55% of women aged 20 and over had already practiced fellatio. In 2021, this figure was 87%. According to a study published in 2016, the primary motivation for oral sex is to give pleasure to one's partner.
