Relax, your probably fine no need for a doctor.
Bit of mouthwash and brush your teeth, took Micheal Douglas hundreds of women to catch something.

There is a walk in STI clinic in St. James Hospital available tomorrow morning if you're very worried.

If your really worried you could go to your local STI/STD clinic. I had a friend who went to one and they said they were worried about going their but once they got their the staff were lovely/helpful and it will put your mind to rest.

It's a bit silly recommending them an STI clinic in Dublin, when all you know, they're from Cork. To view a comprehensive list of all clinics in the country, view this thread.

OP, there's no point in lying and saying there's absolutely no risk of you catching something, when there is. If she had a coldsore, there is a risk of the herpes virus being passed on to you (I should state that I have no medical experience, so my advice could be inaccurate), so if you want to put your mind at ease then check up your local clinic's drop-in times. Be open and honest with them; there's a possibility they make ask some personal questions, but don't worry - they've heard it all and have seen much worse than anything you might have.

They will do a swab test, perhaps a blood test.

The two things you could catch however they will not have a test for.

Genital warts and herpes are transmitted from skin to skin contact and both can be transmitted from the mouth to the genital area.

There is no test for these, you know you have them if they develop...
However neither one is life threatening...

Hep B however is still possible so is HIV (although very unlikely)

whilst that's fair advice and enjoy your youth, taking caution saves a lot of hassle in the future. Protection is not expensive and a couple of euro in the long run could save you embarassing explainations to future partners, doctor trips and medication bills. Couple of euro like. why would you risk it?

OP, just get checked out. chances are you're fine.

there is no protection for a man giving oral sex to a women, whats he going to do put a condom on his tongue.

While the sentiment is admirable, I don't know anyone who uses barrier contraception while giving or receiving oral sex. I knew this thread would be full of admonitions to do so, but honestly, I'd say the number of people who actually follow this advice is negligible.

People take calculated risks every day. This tends to be one of them.

If you follow through this logic to its conclusion, you shouldn't even kiss a stranger without a dental dam, in case they have a coldsore.

Life is a constant balancing act between what we should be doing, for safety's sake versus the risks we're willing to take in order to still live any kind of a life. People know they're risking their lives every time they get into a car, but they still do it.

Likewise, we all know that we could contract something while giving or receiving unprotected oral sex, but most for most people, the scales comes firmly down on the reward side of the risk/reward equation.

I meant in the over all sense. I know full well oral sex is risky, but I was replying in relation to the previous poster who said have fun. Obviously you take risks in life and I'm by no means saying become a prude. But I as I have said already in the greater schemes of things, at least carry protection for full intercourse itself. You'd want to be a fool to risk not to. And I've no problem saying that.

OP, do you really think Irish girls are that manky 'downstairs'?

Like one of the previous posters, I've gone down on every girl I've been with and nothing bad ever came of it. In fact, plenty of good came of it.

Just take the normal precautions and you'll be fine.

I think you have the wrong attitude towards sexual health...
Do you think Irish girls are many downstairs??? Are you 12??????

HPV is the most common sti, most people have the HP virus of some kind, but only a small % of people actually develop warts..

You ever have a cold sore? You know this is one of two strains of herpes?
You know that the common mouth herpe can mutate into the second strain??

It's is not to say that will happen but it can...
If in doubt you get checked out if anything it will give you piece of mind...

Fairly sure they should only have one downstairs... How old are you???

Biology - you're doing it wrong :rolleyes:

And I completely agree with you. But he already said he used protection for the penetrative sex.

fair point, I mis-read. Yeah like others have said, its hard to protect when having oral sex. I guess the only way is proceed with caution, have regular check ups if you are with someone who you aren't familiar with.

Andy-Pandy

Contraception for oral sex? I wouldn't even bother with it, giving or receiving, if that was the norm. OP, as people have said there is a small risk involved, its up to you if you are willing to take that risk.
