I'm not sexually active, so I couldn't vote.

However, I used to watch the show Degrassi religiously, and Emma got some sort of STD in her throat from giving oral sex to someone. (Not that TV is factual, but the whole episode was dedicated to oral sex.)

So I would imagine using a condom would be a good idea.

No, but I wish it was more enjoyable so I would.

No...but thats because I know of his sex history.
With a guy that I don't know the sex history of...or it's murky...I'd DEFINITELY use one.

I wouldn't like the idea of a condom in the way.. but you gotta do what you gotta do. If the guys a virgin, and y'know for sure, then I reckon none'll be fine. Otherwise... condom it is!

how does cum taste like? and no i don't want to suck cock to taste it myself..yet

umm.. you cant get pregnent if you give someone a blowjob. so no you dont HAVE to. unless you dont want to taste him.
insted get a flavored condom

No. the end.

Gross. It taste salty and you can get sick by swallowing it.

Actually if a male drinks plenty of water and eats plenty of fruits, his sperm would taste a bit sweet. Not that I had experience with the flavor lol. But I've read it up, eaten plenty of fruits through out the day prior to freak-time and got the verdict. Fruits and hydration does the trick.


Erm, I just realized this is the females' area lol

I don't use condoms. They taste extremely bad.
The flavored lubes have to be the most disgusting goo I've ever had the misfortune of putting in my mouth.

Oral sex isn't that bad. It's salty, but most girls are just panseys and don't want to admit that it might actually be ok. They make a bigger deal about it than it really is.

Well, I don't. I hear they make finger condoms now.

If i did then i would.
But i don't do oral sex.
don't want anything to grow on my lip
and inside my mouth.

Flavored condoms suck (no pun intended). It still tastes like rubber.
And I've been fortunate enough to have had experience with flavored lube that wasn't bad.
Yummy piña colada.

Wow. Seriously? You better make sure your sex partner doesn't have any aids.

People who say it's stupid to use condoms during oral sex, is plain ignorant. Condoms should always be used no matter what type of sex you are performing if it's oral, anal, manual, or intercourse. Only time I will say for girls to have their man not use a condom is if they know 110% they are clean, and haven't slept with anyone else.

Basically the guy's I have been with all didn't eat their fruits and drank their waters

Tung, don't worry I don't have aids...

i don't.
i'd think that using a condom would take away the pleasure of oral sex? plus the nasty taste/smell. if you know & are comfortable with your partner's history than i don't think it's necessary.

No I don't use a condom; just make sure the person has been tested within a reasonable amount of time be on the look out for anything that isn't normal. any sexual act pose as a risk & it's also nice to know the type of person they are (i.e. how many sexual partners they've had, etc.); just hope you don't catch anything or use a condom.

Be happy you're not sexually active. It's not only a good idea, any other way is unsafe sex.

Here are some facts:

You can transmit STD/STIs via fellatio (oral sex on a man).

You can transmit STD/STIs via cunninglingus (oral sex on a woman).

HIV can be transmitted via pre-ejalucate (pre-cum) as well as semen (cum).

Oral sex is less risky than penetrative sex (vaginal/anal sex) but there is STILL A RISK.

Many people with STDs have no symptoms or mild symptoms that are often mistaken for other ailments.

Women are twice as likely to contract HIV than men through vaginal intercourse.

Herpes is the biggest STD risk when having oral sex without a condom.

It is not impossible, just less likely that you can transmit HIV via oral sex. People can have sores or tiny lacerations in their mouth. A person can also have tiny lacerations on their genitals.

A person can be HIV+ but get a negative result. Why? The test is for the cells in your body that fight the disease. It takes time for your body to produce them. At the time of your test, your body may not have produced antibodies (cells that fight disease) yet. It can take up to 6 months (window of time) for antibodies to be present.

HPV can cause cervical cancer, the bacterial infection chlamydia can lead to abnormal pregnancies, and genital herpes viruses and the parasite trichomoniasis can make it easier to contract HIV/AIDS.

Contracting certain STD/STIs for a girl can increase her chances of getting certain cancer and being infertile.

Common sense

Receiving and/or performing oral sex with a condom/dental dam is much more pleasurable than acquiring an STD.

You're at risk of getting an STD/STI whether you're performing or receiving oral sex.

It's better to taste a latex condom than have to swallow pills that fight an infection or disease you've contracted.

Getting a blowjob isn't worth the risk of getting an STD/STI.

People lie about the number of sex partners they have.

You can have HIV but look and feel fine.

Oral sex is SAFER sex not SAFE sex but you increase your chances of contracting STD/STIs the more often you have it.

Right now, you could have an STD/STI and know it then you have oral sex and pass it on to someone else who like you believes that oral sex is safe when it's NOT.

Your partner could have an STD/STI and be passing one or more to you and not know it and then you have oral sex or vaginal/anal sex with someone else and pass it on.


Statistics

If you think I made these up, google.

According to a recent study published earlier this month,

at least 1 in 4 teen girls ages 14 to 19 in America has a sexually transmitted disease human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, genital herpes, and trichomoniasis, a common parasite.

* 50% of black teen girls
* 20% of white teen girls
* 20% of Mexican-American teen girls


The two most common STDs in the study were HPV and chlamydia.

at least 1 in 5 adults in the US have an STD.

There are treatments for all of the diseases and the disease agency recommends the HPV vaccination for all women ages 11 to 26. The use of latex condoms is highly effective at preventing infection by chlamydia, trichomoniasis, HIV, gonorrhea, and hepatitis B. Condoms are less effective against genital herpes, syphilis, and HPV.



Is the fleeting pleasure of unsafe oral sex worth the risk to your life and life expectancy?

Always use condoms.

Use condoms properly, as instructed!

Practice using condoms!

Store condoms properly (not in your wallet or glove box)!

Check expiration date of condoms!

Always get tested for STD/STIs.

Always talk openly with your sex partners.

Look at your sex partner (s) closely, look for signs of disease (rashes, sores, warts, redness, raised skin, blisters etc)

Inform yourself!

Protect yourself!


Pictures

Your genitals don't have to look like this for you to have an STD/STI but this could happen to you if you don't practice safe sex and ORAL sex is SEX!

Next time you think of having oral sex without a condom or any type of sex without a condom, look at these pictures first.

Technically, depending on the STD, it is possible. Usually they are transmitted through body fluids so you have to be extremely careful. In which case, if it's at all possible to know that the person you are giving oral sex to has an STD, then I would suggest using a condom. However, not everybody is going to be honest with you and tell you, so it's something to consider.

You should. Wouldn't want a herpes sore poppin' up now would why?

Wow, informative.

I can't say that you shouldn't, but my boyfriend and I don't use condoms for oral sex.

lol that's why people want those fruit flavored condoms right?

I hate the smell of condoms.

Makes me nauseous.

No.
