RKS:
Everyone knows what the term 'oral' means - "of the mouth". Thus 'Oral
Tradition' is a spoken tradition, handed down through the generations from
mouth to ear, so to speak, or by the spoken word.
Oral sex, then, must either be the kissing of the ear or 'spoken word' sex
ie talking about it, perhaps in sexually provocative terms.
