<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While unprotected oral sex, both mouth to penis and mouth to vagina, carry statistically lower risks of STD transmittal than unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the risk still exists, according to Stanford University's Sexual Health Peer Resource Center (SHPRC, </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://stanfordshprc.wordpress.com/about… style="font-family: Arial;">http://stanfordshprc.wordpress.com/about… style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/"><span style="font-family: Arial;">http://www.cdc.gov</span></a></span><spa… style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">).</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The key to transmittal of most sexually transmitted diseases is infected body fluids.&nbsp; These can include semen (including pre-cum), vaginal fluid, blood and saliva, though infection from saliva itself is apparently rare.&nbsp; Not really surprising, that last, since saliva is designed to start breaking things down prior to digestion.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Herpes is statistically the biggest risk during oral sex.&nbsp; Both strains of herpes can live in both the mouth and genitals and can be passed from one location to the other during outbreaks.&nbsp; About 50% of a random group of people will have some level of herpes infection, indicated by the presence of antibodies to the virus.&nbsp; Fortunately, the oral variety is no more than a minor annoyance for most people, and genital herpes, while more complicated, is still treatable.&nbsp; Transmission of both sorts can usually be prevented by not engaging in oral sex while lesions are present, or by using protection.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Chlamydia and gonorrhea can infect the throat with strep like symptoms, and are passed in fluids.&nbsp; They can also infect the eyes, so care must be taken to make sure fluids do not enter the eye.&nbsp; Eye infections can have serious consequences, such as permanent blindness.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Though it is more likely to be passed via vaginal or anal intercourse, HIV can still be, and has been documented to have been, passed through oral sex only.&nbsp; Infected semen/pre-cum or vaginal fluid can enter the body through a cut or sore in any body parts in contact.&nbsp; If you have bleeding gums, have a piercing in or on your mouth, have bitten the inside of your mouth or tongue, or have recently had a tooth extracted or other oral surgery, you should probably avoid performing oral sex, of either variety, if there is any doubt about your or your partner's health.&nbsp; If you have a sore, scratch, cut or abrasion on your penis or vagina, or are menstruating (even with a tampon inserted), you are at risk for both transmitting and receiving infected fluid to or from your partner if you are engaging in unprotected oral sex.&nbsp; Syphilis is transmitted in a manner similar to HIV.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Hepatitis A is a risk particularly in oral-anal sex, but can be prevented is most cases by getting a Hep A vaccine.&nbsp; The A variety is not a chronic condition, the way B and C are, but can still make one quite sick for several weeks.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">How does one protect oneself from infection during oral sex?&nbsp; Barrier methods are the surest form of protection. &nbsp;Barriers include condoms and dental dams.&nbsp; Use only unused condoms and dams, that have not expired according to the date on the label.&nbsp; </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">For mouth to penis sex, one should not use spermicidal condoms, as they kill the taste buds, and some people have a reaction to them.&nbsp; Extra thin and flavored condoms are also available for those who need the extra sensation, or don't like the taste.&nbsp; If an allergy to latex is a concern, there are condoms made of other materials, but they may cost more and have limited availability.&nbsp; Condoms in a wide variety of sizes, textures, flavors and thicknesses are available at any Wal-Mart or drugstore.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">For mouth to vagina or anus sex, dental dams are recommended.&nbsp; If not available locally, they can be ordered on the internet, or improvised using a male or female condom by cutting off the tip and slicing the condom lengthwise.&nbsp; One can also use a latex glove by cutting off the fingers and slicing along one side of the palm.&nbsp; Non-microwavable saran type wrap can also be used.&nbsp; Though some dispute the likelihood of it, microwaveable wrap is not recommended because it is porous, and may permit fluids or infection to pass through it.&nbsp; A little lubrication on the vaginal/anus side is sometimes preferred by the receiving party.<br />
<br />
Conclusion: While oral sex carries less risk than vaginal or anal intercourse for sexually transmitted disease infection, &quot;less&quot;</span></span><o:p></o:p> does not mean &quot;none&quot;.&nbsp; Use protection if there is any doubt.</p>

Articles like this are the reason I'm reminded why I don't do extras.<br />
<br />
I was talking about Vegas with my wife the other day and she said &quot;What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas does not apply to STDs!&quot;<br type="_moz" />

This is the kind of article that deserves a permanent place on TUSCL! The reality is that even at the nicest, best run clubs there are always a dancer offering &quot;extras.&quot;&nbsp; It pays to be informed of the risks before accepting. This is generally a good article although I'm not sure too many guys are going to run around with a dental dam in their pocket. <br />

The article also greatly underestimates the risk of Herpes transmission via oral. The herpes virus was designed for warm wet mucous membranes like the mouth &amp; genital areas. The author also misstates that transmission can be avoided if there are not lesions present. That is FALSE! Herpes can be transmitted if your partner is shedding virus whether or not they have a lesion. Shedding happens most often in the first year after contracting the virus. This means you are most likely to get it from some young dancer that recently contracted it herself. The author also greatly underestimates the prevalence of Herpes. HSV-1 (oral) is present in over 85% of people by age 50! HSV-2 is present in 22% of people. Even more alarming is that the HSV-2 infection rate is 46% in Blacks. Given all the people living boring lives with limited numbers of sexual partners, what do you think the odds are of the dancer offering you extras not having herpes?<br />
<br />
About 2/3 of the people with both types of herpes have no symptoms, but they can still give you herpes if they are shedding.&nbsp; <br type="_moz" />

BBBJ can be scary when all of a sudden a gal will start sucking it in VIP.&nbsp; But it sure does feel good!<br />
<br />
I had a 20 yr old stripper do this to me in VIP as a prelude to sex.&nbsp; When we did sex she said &quot;this is a 20yr old pussy so its gonna be tight.....&quot;&nbsp; It was and really nice and she brought the happy ending in 5 or 6 minutes.&nbsp;

arubajoe: Any numbers or risks cited in my article were taken, or paraphrased from either the CDC or the Stanford University site.&nbsp; If you have a dispute with then, take it up with the authors there. :)<br />

And I carry dams, mostly for my wife, but I've used on on occasion.<br type="_moz" />

Anyone know the risks from mouth to non-lactating breast? I would guess low, but any one have details about what can be caught and the likelihood?

mreef - Strip clubs in Vegas are childs play compared to the clubs you visit in RI. Vegas is run like a business and 'extras' are difficult ITC.<br type="_moz" />

This can be scary but it can be hard to resist a good BJ especially if she loves to suck.

This is why I don't do extra's either. You never know where that hand and mouth was before yours and if she used mouthwash or soap. A clubgoer on here that visits RI clubs has plenty of reviews and ONLY does bareback. While it feels nice, it's the longterm effects that can be deadly barebacking the wrong vagina or mouth.
