LegacyUser

ronanp

(mods: it was worth it!)

If he is wearing protection what are u gonna contract an std from?
The Rubber???

BoozyBabe

Yes you can if he's not wearing protection

Thirdfox

Lol ronanp...

Yes you can contract STIs from oral sex wearing a condom will reduce the likelihood of contracting them (just like for vaginal intercourse). Just like vaginal intercourse, if the condom breaks then there is still a risk.

I heard reports that GPs were regularly finding syphillis and other diseases on the back on girl's throats (which are passed onto other partners then ).

Are you one of those so called "other partners" then???:p

Thirdfox

No lol - the was indicating that this has become a bigger problem in recent years. Good old Catholic Ireland has discovered the forbidden pleasures of non-vaginal intercourse :eek: !

Oral sex without barrier protection is safer than penetrative vaginal and anal sex for some infections.

Going down on a man has a greater risk than going down on a woman (though a little lick along the shaft is probably actually safer than any oral act on a woman).

Blood-based infections (HIV, Hepatitis C) are highly unlikely to be passed orally, unless you have cuts or open sores in your mouth - it is normally considered to be a low-risk activity as far as those infections go (as long as you have no such cuts or sores), but is not risk-free. Some other infections are more easily passed orally.

Performing oral sex immediately after performing oral-anal sex can spread bacteria from the anus to the genitals. This is particularly easy to happen when performing oral sex on a woman. Performing oral-anal sex followed by oral sex followed by penetrative vaginal sex can result in such infections in either or both partners.

Barrier protection (condoms if performing oral sex on a man, dental dams if performing oral sex on a woman) reduces the risks of many infections, though it also reduces the sensation of a warm wet mouth on the genitals on the part of the person it is performed on and the person going down no longer has the taste and touch of the genitals (a good or bad thing, depending on how much you like giving head, and what you like about it).

Safer sex is not about absolutes (well, there is an absolute - abstinence is completely safe as far as infections go), but about knowing the risks and balancing them. Unprotected oral sex is safer than unprotected vaginal intercourse, but it is not as safe as oral sex with protection, which in turn is not 100% safe.

Wow.

I'm worn out just reading about it.

Sorry but the fact that I don't have any interest in eating ass doesn't make me prudish. There's something about rimming that I just never really liked the idea of, mainly mouth/tongue+poo. In poker terms, we'd call that a -EV move.

could you lot keep on topic or I'll start banning!

As said, many infections can live in the throat and then be passed on.

You can catch chlamydia, warts, thrush, syphilis, HIV, gonorrhoea and herpes from giving oral sex without using a condom.

The risk to the (ahem) receiver would mainly be herpes unless, as a previous poster said, there were cuts.

For oral sex on a female, there are things called dental dams - basically triangular pieces of flavoured latex (like a flavoured condom) which offer barrier protection. Most people would just cut a flavoured condom down the side and use that, instead of trying to find them.

Thrush? What is thrush?

Really? most people would just cut a flavored condom down the side? Frankly it wouldn't have ever occured to me.

But then I don't know what Thrush is: I appreciate you ingenouity, kittex.

kittex

Well, when I say 'most people', I mean most people who would think to protect themselves.

Thrush is a yeast infection that can live in genitals, ears, mouth, throat...
It can occur naturally and is not an STD as such. Basically, it is when the natural balance of yeasts etc in these places become overgrown. It is very, very common these days - women can get it from just using say too much bubble bath.

I work as a counsellor for teenagers part time, so we're trained in a lot of this stuff.

You can catch something from anything.

Maybe you should tell us what you are worried about specifically?

Does this guy have any STDs you know about?

Bogey this is your final warning, off topic and unhelpf posts

Absolutely. It's hardly prudish to not want to stick your tongue where pooh comes from. That might seem conservative but I think it's far more conservative to just fall into line and engage unquestioningly in sexual practices that are perceived as the norm when in actual fact they're pretty disgusting to many people. Would you want to stick your tongue up someone's nostril?

It's not prudish to not want to do this. It's prudish to go to the bother of commenting on this when what was asked about was the safety from an infection point of view of giving a man sexual pleasure orally. I don't know if the OP's sexual practice includes rimming. I don't care if the OP's sexual practice includes rimming. I do want the OP, and anyone who read it and wanted to know also, to have an answer to her question beyond the pointlessness of "the answer is yes , if there is any part of the Male genitalia exposed a STI can be passed over." from the ironically named "physician" - which tells us nothing more than "crossing the road can kill you", or "it's possible to point a shotgun at your head and pull the trigger and not be hurt". They're true statements, but of absolutely no value in evaluating the risks of something (strictly physician's statement is doubly useless, as it can be read with the implication that if the genitalia aren't exposed then the acts would be entirely safe, which isn't true either).

Incidentally, if someone does want to stick their tongue up someone's nostril, it's a relatively low-risk activity but can cause the spread of respitary and mucal infections, mostly of a type that are air-borne anyway.

Tallisen was just trying to cover all the possiblities for Oral sex Dudess, as
who knows who maybe reading this thread or finding it on search in months to come and we would not want them not knowing and ending up catching something .

Dudess

Cool. My post was addressed to the person who called ianmc38 a prude (I wasn't trying to be nasty, btw). But I realise it's off-topic so sorry about that.:)

Talliesin's post was just as OT. As was this.
