Potential Risks of Oral Sex

[12voltyV2.0]

I figured I would share this article on such risks: http://www.salon.com/2012/08/19/how_risky_is_oral_sex/

[eXXXploreNewFun]

directly from the article ... "no studies have quantified the exact risk" and continues to point out the risk is very minimal.

Oral sex is not completely risk free, but nothing is ... saran wrap or dental dams aren't for me.

For about 15 years or more, I was a cum guzzling cock slut. I sucked a lot of dick, swallowed a lot of cum. After my wife found out, she ran to the clinic for a full workup, assuming I killed her. She had NOTHING. I had NOTHING. Believe me, I was braced for the worse. I had done a lot of reading about the risks, how to minimize them. I didn't follow any of the rules. I do live a fairly charmed life but still..nothing? Now I don't sweat it, she doesn't sweat it, now she's slutty right along with me.

I know this probably isn't typical and I would love to hear from everyone that has caught an std from sucking dick.

Life is short. I have watched SO many people base their life on living risk free. That is not living. Regrets instead of memories.

“The most important point is that it’s all relative, and oral sex isn’t risk-free.”
Ah, well, great. Thanks very much. That's really helpful.

"...wherever ejaculate winds up, that’s also where the greatest burden of infectious material will also wind up."
That's a little better, but disappointing news. I love to have my guy cum in my mouth. I also would love to realize my inner cum-slut.

Here is what I've gleaned from others, presented from the point of view of sucking cock (me):



The risk of HIV is extremely low if he cums ON you.
The risk of HIV is low if he cums in your mouth and you have no cuts or sores.
Gentle face fucking and deep-throating will avoid abrading the back of the throat.


Recommendations: don't brush teeth, as it abrades gums. Use mouthwash. Spit cum out or swallow and rinse mouth out quickly.


You can enhance your odds by choosing partners who are not hooking up with people who have a lot of partners or are in those circles.
The same precautions apply for minimizing the risk of other kinds of STD's


The added precaution of a genital check for sores, odors, spots, etc. will handle certain gross cases, but many of those infections are difficult or impossible to detect.

As I am now an old man, I agree with that more than I ever have. But, all my life, I have been willing to take risks because I am not willing to live with regrets. I have this attitude about life, not just sex. So, I have definitely been exposed to disease even though I have had no illness. Nevertheless, I don't have indiscriminant sex.

I have been a proud Cocksucker since I was in High School and I am almost 70 now. I have always tried my best to practice good hygiene and have had no health issues. Just use common sense.

My reason for posting this up---there does seem to be some debate about the safety of doing oral sex. It is no doubt less risky than is engaging in coitus or anal sex, but it obviously has its risks and concerns as well.

I just presented this piece to help us remind ourselves that oral sex does pose risks, and to be informed about them---and act according to our own dictates, values, etc when we do have oral sex.

No matter what, have fun, play safe---or at least if you take a risk by not playing safe---make that choice fully and freely knowing the potential risks and let the "chips fall where they may."

Everyone have a great weekend----sure is nice here---I will be out on the lake in the boat.

Voltman, have a great time on your boat. The weather is great in Michigan as well. Unfortunately, I have to work this weekend. But, Sunday night I will be enjoying a long BJ session with my favorite dick, definitely, without a condom on it. It is just so much better that way.

Over the years, I must admit to my mouth having extremely intimate (repeat extremely intimate) contact with probably far too many male penises than a respectable girl should.
I admit to rejecting 1 in all that time .... it smelt a bit off! (Yes guys, you can smell like stale sardines too!!!)
Except for a sore mouth, the only thing I ever got was number of attacks of cummy burps; NOT recommended.

I think what I'm trying to say, along with others is that if you wrap yourself in protective patterns all your life - what is life????
Personally i don't think BJ's are high on the risk meter.

I have also have been active in oral sex for over 15 years I usually do not swallow try to be careful I know its risky but enjoy giving guys oral sex

Although you have to 'trust' the partners response I have always asked if the package I am going to suck disease free. You have to rely on the partner being truthful... ad so do they. It's as two way street. If you don't trust the situation say no thanks. Life keeps going, there is always other dick down the road.

seems odd that last year I posted some questions and opinion about sexual transmitted desease and volty slammed me or it, intolerance for one is intolerance or all interesting turn around
