Evidence of fellatio dates back to ancient times, with depictions in art and literature.
The earliest known representations appear in ancient Egyptian art, such as the Myth of Osiris and Isis (circa 2400 BCE), where oral sex is implied in the resurrection of Osiris.
Archaeological finds, like erotic frescoes in Pompeii (1st century CE), explicitly show fellatio.
Ancient Greek and Roman texts, including poetry by Catullus and Martial, also reference the act, often in explicit or satirical terms.
Cave paintings and artifacts from various cultures, potentially as old as 10,000 years, suggest oral sex practices, though interpretations vary.
If you want specifics on a culture or period, I can dig deeper.
The oldest strong evidence of fellatio comes from ancient Egyptian mythology and art, specifically the Myth of Osiris and Isis, dated to around 2400 BCE.
In this myth, Isis resurrects her husband Osiris by performing an act interpreted as oral sex to conceive Horus.
This is depicted in temple reliefs and referenced in the Pyramid Texts (circa 2400–2300 BCE), among the oldest religious texts known.
For example, a passage in the Pyramid Texts describes Isis “taking the seed” of Osiris, which scholars like Egyptologist Jan Assmann interpret as alluding to fellatio.
Additionally, erotic papyrus fragments from the New Kingdom (circa 1550–1070 BCE), such as the Turin Erotic Papyrus, explicitly illustrate oral sex acts, including fellatio, with detailed scenes of sexual practices.
These artifacts provide concrete visual and textual evidence, rooted in religious and cultural contexts, making them some of the earliest and most robust records.
