Many people don\u2019t ask themselves that question. Instead, we focus on using effective birth control and preventing \u201cbig\u201d infections like HIV during intercourse. But oral sex practices also pose risks for sexual health and fertility.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you can protect yourself and your partner and still have fun.<\/p>\n<h3>How Safe Is Oral Sex?<\/h3>\n<p>Oral sex is not completely safe because it involves an exchange of bodily fluids. Also, if you have a small tear in the mouth, genital, or anal area, there may be contact with blood.<\/p>\n<p>Openings of the body that are used for oral sex are lined with mucous membranes. These membranes are more sensitive to damage than the skin, and viruses and bacteria can easily pass through them.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) you can get through oral-genital or oral-anal contacts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Herpes simplex.<\/strong> This is one of the most common STIs, and it\u2019s very easy to catch. Many people believe that if there are no visible cold sores, there is no risk. But sometimes the infected person <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/std-sexually-transmitted-diseases-treatments\/about-herpes-cold-sores-stds\/\">may shed the virus<\/a> without having any signs of an active infection in their body, a process called \u201csilent shedding.\u201d<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>HIV.<\/strong> This virus is present in semen, vaginal fluids, and to some extent in saliva. There have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1758078\/pdf\/v074p00006.pdf\">confirmed cases<\/a> of oral transmission from both hetero- and homosexual contacts.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Chlamydia.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1758102\/pdf\/v074p00095.pdf\">Clinical analyses<\/a> have confirmed the presence of this infection in people\u2019s throats. If untreated, this disease <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/std\/infertility\/default.htm#:~:text=Untreated%2C%20about%2010%2D15%25,which%20can%20lead%20to%20infertility.\">can harm fertility<\/a>, especially in women.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Gonorrhea.<\/strong> This is another STI that <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cid\/article\/49\/12\/1798\/435992\">can affect fertility<\/a>. Many people who have it in their throat don\u2019t realize it or don\u2019t know that it can be passed on orally.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Human papillomavirus (HPV).<\/strong> Most sexually active people have HPV, but some HPV types are more dangerous than others. In the worst-case scenario, the infection <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/causes-prevention\/risk\/infectious-agents\/hpv-and-cancer#:~:text=In%20the%20United%20States%2C%20high,for%20Disease%20Control%20(CDC).\">may lead to<\/a> oral and genital cancers in women and men.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Hepatitis A and B.<\/strong> These viruses can spread through oral-anal practices (sometimes called \u201crimming\u201d). Both conditions affect the liver, and hepatitis B can put you at risk for cancer.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Syphilis. <\/strong>You can get this infection through contact with lesions. The tricky part is that these are not always easy to notice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32402\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-5_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32402 size-full\" title=\"Woman taking off her bra and underwear\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-5_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Woman taking off her bra and underwear\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-5_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2.jpeg-5_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oral sex comes with a risk of sexually transmitted infections.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Should Monogamous Couples Worry About Oral Sex Safety?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re in an exclusive relationship and have been tested for STIs, you probably don\u2019t need to use protection when going down on your partner.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you\u2019ve been together for a while but don\u2019t know both your own and your partner\u2019s sexual health status, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/std-sexually-transmitted-diseases-treatments\/std-testing-for-men-who-sleep-with-women\/\">it\u2019s a good idea to get checked<\/a>. Some STIs don\u2019t show any symptoms but can still lead to serious consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Some monogamous couples still like to use latex barriers for oral-anal contacts for hygiene reasons. Sometimes women are touch-sensitive or prone to vaginal infections from cunnilingus and prefer to use a barrier when receiving oral pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why some lovers use condoms for oral sex is to avoid getting ejaculate in the mouth.<\/p>\n<h3>How To Practice Safer Oral Sex?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re not in a monogamous relationship, extending safer sex practices to oral will protect your health. It may feel awkward at first, but it will get easier with practice.<\/p>\n<h4>Talk To Your Lover(s)<\/h4>\n<p>Sometimes the hardest part of taking care of your sexual safety is talking about it with your partner. You may think you\u2019re the only person in the world who wants to use protection for oral sex, but that\u2019s not true. Explain to your partner why it\u2019s important to you and that this is a sign of respect for your lover\u2019s health as well.<\/p>\n<p>With casual sex it\u2019s good practice to have a conversation about safety before engaging in any sexual activity. You can even address it before you meet, especially if it\u2019s a hookup situation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32403\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32403\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpeg-4_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32403 size-full\" title=\"Two men laughing in bed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpeg-4_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Two men laughing in bed\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpeg-4_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/3.jpeg-4_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Talking about safer sex may feel awkward at first but gets easier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Use Protection<\/h4>\n<p>So, you\u2019re ready to try safer oral sex, but you don\u2019t know where to start. Thankfully, there are several products to help you stay safe. Not all of them will be available at your local pharmacy or drugstore, but they\u2019re all easy to find online.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Male condoms. <\/strong>These are versatile safer-sex tools. You can use them on the penis, but they can also be placed on female genitals if you cut a condom in half and stretch it. Some manufacturers offer condoms designed for oral sex, and they come in different flavors.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Dental dams. <\/strong>Some people know these from going to the dentist. Dental dams are latex or polyurethane sheets that protect an area of the body from bacteria or viruses. Nowadays, you can get them made specifically for sexual purposes, and they are available in different colors and flavors. They are great for cunnilingus (oral sex given to a woman) and for rimming. Some people like to put some lube on their genitals before placing the sheet on their body. The only thing to remember is that someone needs to hold the dam in place so it doesn\u2019t move away.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Latex panties. <\/strong>This is a fairly new invention that makes safe cunnilingus easier for both partners. Lorals latex panties were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accessdata.fda.gov\/cdrh_docs\/pdf21\/K212928.pdf\">approved by the FDA<\/a> in 2022 as an oral dam equivalent to a condom for STI protection.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Plastic wrap. <\/strong>Since dental dams are sometimes hard to get, some people get creative and use Saran wrap. However, there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthoodaction.org\/planned-parenthood-advocates-arizona\/blog\/std-awareness-can-i-use-plastic-wrap-as-a-dental-dam-during-oral-sex\">aren\u2019t any conclusive studies<\/a> to confirm that these protect against HIV and STIs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32404\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32404\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4.jpeg-2_11zon-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32404 size-full\" title=\"Dental dam graphic\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4.jpeg-2_11zon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dental dam graphic\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4.jpeg-2_11zon-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4.jpeg-2_11zon-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dental dams are thin sheets of latex used for oral sex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Get Tested Regularly<\/h4>\n<p>Aside from using barriers for oral fun, you should regularly get tested for STIs. Even if you use protection all the time, it\u2019s not always possible to avoid contact between the mouth and the genital or anal area.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that anything you do sexually carries a risk of infection, so check-ups are the only way to discover a hidden infection early.<\/p>\n<h3>Get Treatment for Sexually Transmitted Infections<\/h3>\n<p>If you discover that you have a sexually transmitted infection, talk to a doctor as soon as possible and get treatment. Even if you have no symptoms, the condition may lead to complications later. And refusing to treat yourself means you\u2019re putting your partner at risk as well.<\/p>\n<p>It is also wise to treat your partner if you have an STI. Both must be treated simultaneously before resuming sexual activity. Treating only one of you or treatments of each at different times will allow a back-and-forth re-infection.<\/p>\n<p>With some STIs, like herpes, medication can reduce the frequency of outbreaks and the risk of transmitting the virus to your sexual partner.
