The mouth is for eating, not for sex.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni warned his citizens this week against the practice of fellatio, pointing out that the "mouth is for eating" rather than sexual activity.

"Let me take this opportunity to warn our people publicly about the wrong practices indulged in and promoted by some of the outsiders," Museveni said in the Ugandan parliament. "The mouth is for eating, not for sex. We know the address of sex, we know where sex is."

In 2014, Museveni also warned that oral sex could cause health problems like worms and Hepatitis B, using similar language to his remarks.

"One of the cultures that we detest is oral sex," he said at the time. "The mouth is for picking food, not for sex. We know the address for sex. That address (the mouth) is not for sex."

"It is not healthy. You can contract STD (sexually transmitted diseases)," he continued. "You push the mouth there, you can come back with worms and they enter your stomach because that is a wrong address. You can also contract Hepatitis B."

That same year, Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Act, which criminalizes gay sex with punishments of up to life imprisonment. Under the act, those who fail to report homosexuality activity are also subject to criminal charges.
