Oral sex performed on a man, a sexual act that is a normal part of human sexual behavior.
From Latin 'fellare' meaning 'to suck.' It entered English medical terminology in the late 1800s as a Latin-based term (using Latin was common to maintain clinical distance in medical texts).
This word is a perfect example of how English borrowed Latin terms for sexual topics—doctors and scientists used Latin to discuss sex clinically while common English words for the same acts were considered too crude for polite company!
Clinical term (from Latin fellare, 'to suck'), but cultural context gendered: portrayed as women's service to men; male recipients rarely described symmetrically.
Use anatomically and clinically; avoid gendered framing that positions one partner as server and one as receiver.

Pleasure and agency belong equally to all partners; language should reflect reciprocal rather than hierarchical acts.
