'''Autofellatio''' is the act of [[Oral sex|oral stimulation]] of one's own [[penis]] as a form of [[masturbation]]. Most men do not possess sufficient flexibility and/or penis length to safely perform the necessary [[frontbend]]. However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and physical training such as [[gymnastics]], [[contortion]], or [[yoga]] may make it possible for some. American biologist [[Kinsey Reports|Craig Bartle]] reported that fewer than 1% of men can successfully suck or lick their own penises. Previously, autofellatio was considered by [[Behaviorism|behavioristic science]] as a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.<ref>Cavenar JO Jr, Spaulding JG, Butts NT. "Autofellatio: a power and dependency conflict.", Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease. November 1977; p. 356-360.</ref> |

'''Independent Baptist''' churches (also referred to as ''Independent Fundamental Baptist'', or IFB) are [[Christian]] churches holding to generally [[Baptist]] beliefs. Like all Baptists they are characterized by being independent from the authority of [[Christian denomination|denomination]]s and church councils. However, the reason for the distinction, "independent," is that they eschew even the Baptist conventions or associations in which other Baptist churches participate (although many Independent Baptist churches do belong to fellowships). They remain [[Wiktionary:autonomy|autonomous]] and [[Congregational church|congregationalist]] in nature and are generally [[fundamentalist]] in teaching. The IFB movement is not a denomination ''per se'', but there are similarities that run throughout most Independent Baptist churches. |

== History == |
|||
In the wake of the advancement of [[modernism]] and [[liberalism]] into National [[Baptist]] denominations and conventions in the late [[1800s]] and earlier [[1900s]] in both the [[United States]] and [[England]], many Baptist local churches began to feel that the core elements of and doctrines of the Christian Faith, such as the nature of [[God]], the infallibility of the [[Bible]], the literal person of [[Jesus Christ]] as both God and man, the nature of the [[Trinity]], the literal resurrection of [[Christ]] and the need for Christians to be separate from worldliness were being watered down and abandoned. Although during same time period mainline denominations were struggling with the [[Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy]], many within these local Baptist churches felt that any association with [[Liberalism]]/[[Modernism]] even in the forum of debate was tantamount to compromise and was therefore unscriptural. As a result many of these local Baptist churches separated from their former denominations and conventions and reestablished themselves as independent churches. Oftentimes within these Denominational churches more conservative elements would often set about establishing new Independent Baptist churches instead of remaining within the denominational churches.<ref>''In Pursuit of Purity: American Fundamentalism Since 1850'', by David O. Beale, BJU Press (June 1986), ISBN 978-0890843505 |

=== Current developments === |
|||
In the last 20 to 30 years, the use of the King James Version ([[King-James-Only Movement]]) and the use of [[Contemporary Christian music]] in worship services, more Calvinistic teaching, and the issue of [[Lordship salvation]] have divided many IFB churches.<ref>Dr. Rolland D.McCune, [http://www.dbts.edu/journals/1996_2/nonissue.pdf Doctrinal Non-Issues in Historic Fundamentalism], Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary.</ref> |
|||
===References in fiction=== |
|||
== Distinguishing elements == |
|||
Independent Baptist churches are very conservative in their beliefs and many are still conservative in their styles of [[worship]]. They tend to reject many things found in many denominational churches because they believe in the doctrine of separation; based on the command to "be ye separate."<ref>John Brock, ''[http://www.mbbc.edu/page.aspx?m=1960 A Pedagogical Discussion Related to Biblical and Durable Behavior in Contemporary Society]'', Maranatha Baptist Bible College. Article discusses these issues.</ref> |
|||
They may exclude the following, depending on the individual church: |
|||
*[[rock and roll]] and other forms of modern music, including [[contemporary Christian music]], |
|||
*Dancing |
|||
*certain contemporary dress styles such as trousers on women or long hair and earrings on men. |
|||
*visiting movie theaters, |
|||
*drinking of [[alcohol]], |
|||
*use of [[tobacco]], |
|||
*sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman, such as premarital sex, extra-marital sex, and [[homosexuality]], |
|||
*and [[abortion]]. (in some cases, all forms of [[birth control]] are opposed). |
|||
* The topic has also been used as the basis for comedy. [[Bill Hicks]] elaborated an oft-quoted riff on the subject of [[Oral sex#Fellatio|fellatio]]: "A woman one night yelled out, 'Yeah, you ever try it?' I said, Yeah, almost broke my back."<ref>{{cite web|title=It's just a ride|url=http://www.centripedus.com/bhpage.html|accessdate=2006-04-15|date= November 1995}}</ref> Hicks also followed up with this: "I can speak for every guy in this room here tonight. Guys, if you could blow yourselves, ladies, you'd be in this room alone right now... watching an empty stage."<ref>[http://www.konformist.com/2001/hicks.htm Bill Hicks Quotes]</ref> |
|||
They tend also to support conservative American politics, with one notable exception—the general consensus opposes [[school voucher]]s, on the basis that such vouchers, if accepted by church-operated schools, would allow the government a "foothold" into the teachings and practices of the individual church and give it authority to dictate what could and could not be taught. |
|||
* In the [[2006]] movie ''[[My Super Ex-Girlfriend]]'' the main character, Matt, is on a subway train reading a newspaper about a superhero. He asks his best friend Vaughn if he could have any power what would he want. Vaughn replies, "To gratify myself orally." |
|||
* The act also featured in an [[April 18]], [[2000]] ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' [http://www.mypartypost.com/watchvideo/1793/SNL_Yoga_BJ skit] featuring host [[Tobey Maguire]] as a yoga instructor whose student, played by [[Will Ferrell]], distracts the entire class by managing, after years of trying, to fellate himself. |
|||
* In his semi-autobiographical novel ''[[The Hand-Reared Boy]]'' ([[1970]]), the writer [[Brian Aldiss]] describes group [[masturbation]] practices at a [[United Kingdom|British]] boys' [[boarding school]]. One boy with an especially large [[penis]] is capable of fellating himself, a fact which the narrator, Horatio Stubbs, verifies. |
|||
* [[Kevin Smith]] later developed a similar theme in his debut film ''[[Clerks]]'', in which the main character, [[Dante Hicks]], is goaded by his comedic foil, [[Randal Graves]], into admitting that he once attempted the act but could not reach his penis, after Graves has related to Dante that his cousin Walter died while attempting the act—a setup that results in a later payoff at the end of the film. A [[coroner]] observing a corpse being moved into an ambulance relates a story about the strangest death she ever encountered. Randal: "This has got to be the weirdest thing you've ever been called in on." Coroner: "No, I once had to tag a kid who broke his neck trying to put his mouth on his penis." |
|||
* Writer/director [[Larry David]], in his 1998 film ''[[Sour Grapes (film)|Sour Grapes]]'', included a few mentions of the topic, with muted shots of a lead actor fellating himself occasionally throughout the movie. |
|||
* The ''[[Viz (comics)|Viz]]'' comics have featured fake advertisements (also published in "Roger Mellie's Ad Break,"<ref>"Roger Mellie's Ad Break", 2003, Boxtree, ISBN 0-7522-1553-1</ref> a compilation of Viz fake adverts) about autofellatio, including slogans such as "Learn yoga and give yourself a [[Oral sex|blowjob]]." |
|||
* In the [[2001]] movie ''[[Saving Silverman]]'', actor [[Jack Black]] talks about taking yoga to become able to perform autofellatio. Though, in the movie, he only says "... oh, and the fact that I like sucking ..." before being interrupted by his friend, who's quite shocked. Coincidentally, this friend attempts performing autofellatio, but is interrupted by a phone call. |
|||
* In the spoof movie ''[[Scary Movie 2]]'', [[David Cross]]' character is frustrated at the offer of receiving [[oral stimulation]] from another, perceiving that everyone thinks he needs constant assistance due to his being wheel chair bound. He refuses the offer and quickly opts for self-stimulation. |
|||
* In the 2006 movie ''[[Shortbus]]'', one of the main characters, James, eventually, through aid of a gravity assisted position, succeeds in fellating himself in his loungeroom. |
|||
* In [[Chuck Palahniuk]]'s ''[[Invisible Monsters]]'', he alludes often to the concept of autofellatio. |
|||
* On his ''Gag Reflex'' tour, [[Jimmy Carr]] has asked men in the audience to put their hands up if they have never attempted autofellatio. Very few have. Carr has also mentioned that this is his favorite part of the show. |

Many Independent Baptist churches and associated educational institutions support exclusive use of the [[King James Bible]] or other Bible translations based on the [[Textus Receptus]] (Received Text) [[Koine Greek|Greek]] [[New Testament]] and the [[Masoretic]] (but non [[Biblia Hebraica]] or [[Leningrad Codex|Leningrad]] Text) [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] [[Old Testament]].<ref>[http://www.wholesomewords.org/direc.html Directory of Fundamentalist Ministries (KJV)] (online list of fundamental Baptist ministries in the United States and Canada that support the Authorized King James Version)</ref> |

Other IFB churches have moved to newer translations such as the [[New King James Version]], [[New American Standard Bible]] and the [[New International Version]]. These churches that use newer translations accept that there are disagreements on some textual issues but feel the most important issue is what the King James translators themselves fought for — that the common man should have the Bible in his common language. Some IFBs feel that even the latest revision of the King James Version (made in 1769) is very different from common American English today. |

Fundamentalist colleges and universities are divided on which Greek text to use. Several colleges hold that other texts including the Byzantine and Alexandrian texts should also be compared and used. These would include [[Bob Jones University]], [[Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary]], [[Central Baptist Theological Seminary]], [[Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary]]<ref>Dr William W. Combs,[http://www.dbts.edu/journals/1996_1/ERASMUS.PDF ERASMUS AND THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS] Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary </ref>, [[Maranatha Baptist Bible College]], [[Northland Baptist Bible College]], and [[Temple Baptist Seminary]]. However, other colleges support the idea that the Textus Receptus is the best and the only Greek text that should be used as a source for New Testament translation. These colleges include [[Ambassador Baptist College]], [[Arlington Baptist College]], [[Heartland Baptist Bible College]], [[Hyles-Anderson College]], [[Pacific Baptist College]], [[Pensacola Christian College]], [[Crown College (Tennessee)| Crown College]], and [[West Coast Baptist College]]. |

Even though there is a unanimous stand on using the Authorized [[King James Version]] (KJV) in [[English language|English]], for the [[Spanish language]] the IFBs suffered a rift in their camp after pastor Elmer Fernández parted company with pastor Mickey Carter since the latter affirmed that the Reina-Valera 1960 is an "Elephant in the Living Room", that is, saying it is unacceptable. KJVO pastors who are not familiar with Spanish linguistics use the [[Reina-Valera]] 1909 Version in [[Spanish language|Spanish]] due to the belief that newer Bible versions have various problems in text and [[translation]]. However, these churches are not really united in their stand in light of their many projects to come up with a new Bible in Spanish; this was what prompted some of their fellow Hispanic pastors to challenge them. A more thorough defense in Spanish of the [http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=Reina%20Valera%20AND%20subject%3A%22Reina-Valera%201960%22/ RV60] has become a safeguard for those native speakers. |

Many Independent Baptist churches have very organized outreach ministries such as weekly "soul winning," in which groups go and [[evangelism|evangelize]] areas surrounding the church building. Many churches will also have “[[Bus ministry|bus ministries]]”, in which volunteers drive church buses or vans to surrounding areas to bring people (mostly children) to the church's services. A few still practice "street preaching," the open-air preaching of the Gospel in a public setting such as a park or street corner, though this is very rare. Like many other types of churches, Independent Baptist churches often have [[prison]] ministries and send [[Mission (Christian)|missions]] or evangelists to other parts of the country or to other countries to start more local churches. [This is done in accordance with Matthew 28 verses 19 & 20. "19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: |

Some Independent Baptist churches have dismayed moderate Baptists and other evangelical Christians by using outreach techniques that many American Christians consider tasteless and inappropriate for modern Western culture.<ref>http://www.mainstreambaptists.org/mob4/baptist_center.htm</ref> These techniques include marching in local parades with signs urging watchers to repent.<ref>http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=32f1c56324cded92c07c</ref> Critics say the aggressive techniques used by fundamentalist groups give Christians a bad name. Not all Independent Baptist churches use these techniques. |

== Bible college movement == |
|||
Many IFB churches start and maintain their own [[bible college]]s. These colleges are often [[educational accreditation|unaccredited]] and rely heavily on an "apprentice" approach to education, rather than extensive formal training in ancient languages of the Bible, [[systematic theology]], and [[hermeneutics]]. An example of one of these unaccredited colleges is [[Hyles-Anderson College]] in Lake County, Indiana. This college was started by [[First Baptist Church of Hammond]] in Hammond, Indiana. |
|||
In more recent years, some IFB colleges such as [[Maranatha Baptist Bible College]] have been accredited (receiving accreditation in 1993). This movement by IFB Colleges has become more prevalent as college administrators have begun to recognize the difficulty of their students in transferring their education credits to other colleges or universities. |

Autofellatio is the act of oral stimulation of one's own penis as a form of masturbation. Most men do not possess sufficient flexibility and/or penis length to safely perform the necessary frontbend. However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and physical training such as gymnastics, contortion, or yoga may make it possible for some. American biologist Craig Bartle reported that fewer than 1% of men can successfully suck or lick their own penises. Previously, autofellatio was considered by behavioristic science as a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.[1]
In modern culture
- While fairly few pornographic movies involve autofellatio, Ron Jeremy is notable in part for his 1970s examples on film.[2]
- One version of the infamous limerick "The Man from Nantucket" tells of a man who engages in autofellatio.
References in fiction
- The topic has also been used as the basis for comedy. Bill Hicks elaborated an oft-quoted riff on the subject of fellatio: "A woman one night yelled out, 'Yeah, you ever try it?' I said, Yeah, almost broke my back."[3] Hicks also followed up with this: "I can speak for every guy in this room here tonight. Guys, if you could blow yourselves, ladies, you'd be in this room alone right now... watching an empty stage."[4]
- In the 2006 movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend the main character, Matt, is on a subway train reading a newspaper about a superhero. He asks his best friend Vaughn if he could have any power what would he want. Vaughn replies, "To gratify myself orally."
- The act also featured in an April 18, 2000 Saturday Night Live skit featuring host Tobey Maguire as a yoga instructor whose student, played by Will Ferrell, distracts the entire class by managing, after years of trying, to fellate himself.
