"It depends on how an individual law is crafted in a specfic jurisdiction. It may be that you could mount an "equal protections' challenge to a spicific law that applied only to men, but to say that any oral sex ban would fail on this account shows a remarkable lack of imagination."

Well not really. Sodomy is only illegal if it is homosexual. Therefore, you've crafted a law that says women can perform fellatio, but not men. Men can perform cunnilingus, but not women. I think you have an equal protection issue there.

where do you come up with this stuff? Maybe that is true in some jurisdiction, but it is by no means universally true, nor does it have to be.. It can be made quite illegal for a female to perform fellatio OR cunnilingus. Why not. I could draft the law myself, it's quite simple.
