Is oral sex unhealthy or twisted?
Whether or not to have oral sex is a very personal decision, which should never be forced on another. If both parties are comfortable with oral sex it can be an extremely pleasurable experience. However, there are a few considerations.
Sexual Health:
- STDs can be transmitted through oral, genital contact
- Gonorrhoea and syphilis are commonly passed through oral sex
- Cold scores can cause genital herpes
- Genital herpes can cause cold scores
- Oral sex can be made safer
Hygiene:
- Unpleasant odors can make giving oral sex undesirable
- Make sure that you wash thoroughly, with a gentle soap and warm water
- Have a bath or shower together before getting intimate
When giving or receiving oral sex, always make sure the act is loving and that no one is shamed or debased.
