Adam & Eve's "Great American Sex Survey" asked over 1,000 American adults how they felt about both giving and receiving oral sex. Over 66% of the respondents reported enjoying giving oral sex, and over 79% said they enjoyed receiving it.

"While there is some discrepancy between those who enjoy performing the act and those who enjoy receiving it, overall these results show that most adults consider oral sex to be a healthy, positive and important part of sexuality," says Chad Davis, Marketing Director for Adam & Eve.

Additionally, the survey revealed that 25% of those polled said they sometimes get enjoyment from performing oral sex on their partners. Seven percent of respondents said they did not enjoy giving oral sex, and 2% said they had never done it.

With receiving oral sex, 15% of the respondents reported they sometimes enjoy it, 4% said they do not enjoy it, and 2% said they had never been on the receiving end.

"Adam & Eve encourages American adults to add oral sex to their erotic repertoire," says Davis. "It's encouraging to us that this survey shows that most adults find it an acceptable part of their lovemaking."

The web-based survey, conducted by Cvent, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices. For more information about Adam & Eve, visit their website at http://www.adam andeve.com/news.
