WHO: Oral sex spreading unstoppable bacteria

You can argue statistics and play vagina roulette all you want, but stuff like this is why I always wear a condom.

    Just curious Ishmael, will you stop going down on your partner unprotected, too? That's another way to get gonorrhea.

    "... there had even been three cases - in Japan, France and Spain - where the infection was completely untreatable ..."

    Damn - I would not call this an epidemic just yet

    ...and condoms are something like 80% effective in stopping gonorrhea transmission. Which might not be all that great if you're talking about a drug-resistant form of the disease.

    Life is for living - max caution can often mean minimal enjoyment.

    I can def see anyone under 40 being more concerned and more careful; but once one reaches middle-age the risk-reward equation tends to often change

    ^^^ agree. There's a certain amount of preachiness from the OP. You're taking a risk either way. It's just what level you feel comfortable with.

    Just one more point and stop dominating the thread. You have a couple of options:

    (1) You can stop having sex altogether, and you'll never get an STD
    (2) You can wear a condom and fuck around with high-risk sex workers (escorts and strippers). Don't fool yourself into thinking that's risk free.
    (3) You can concentrate on finding low-risk partners that are not part of the sex industry and have both parties tested.

    There can be a lot of overlap in the risk level B/W (2) and (3).

    I'm not worried. My CF assures me that I'm the only customer she has sex with.

    I don't go along with the OP's article. They are always saying stuff like that. But then there are always new antibiotics. Today is no different from yesterday. The public health community responds as necessary. A bacterial threat is really no threat.

    Lots of other home remedies to bacterial problems.

    Go live like Howard Hughes, top floor of a Vegas hotel, everything covered in plastic, all food and drink sterilized, and no one can touch him, and all because he was losing his mind.

    No thank you!

    They've been talking about uncurable super-bugs for many years now; not saying it is not an issue but it's nothing new.

    Sex/fucking is a natural thing and *need* - and fucking w/ a piece of rubber is not - but we are where we are

    I have had dozens of uncovered blow jobs from strippers. Many of those were from regular extras girls who were blowing lots of guys. In all of that time, I've never caught anything. I'm not saying catching an std is imposssible, but it's obviously much less of a risk with oral than with vaginal sex.

    @ JS - I think it is the person doing the blowing/eating that is most at risk

    I think it's a bit like the stock market. When everyone thinks unprotected is safe, it the time when it most likely isn't. When everyone is the most scared is probably time when it is the safest.

    Only one out of ten infected men have any symptoms and it could stop you from having kids. That is scary if you want kids. For all those who aren't worried because they have no symptoms, it's not any scarier than the zeka virus. Makes me wonder if I could get it from a girl sticking her tongue in my ear or a girl sucking on my finger or running her tongue up and down various areas of skin. I never knew what dancers were going to do in years past.

    The safe thing to do is only visit strip clubs in South Carolina. You know you won't catch anything here.

    Does listermint kill it?

    Brilliant question sharkhunter!

    I'm sure it does. Listermint = wonder drug!

    And it leaves your taint minty fresh if you rig a Listermint bidet! ;)

    Some facts on condom failure:

    https://www.hli.org/resources/condoms-li…

    "22 major studies of more than 40,000 condoms used during heterosexual intercourse in five different countries have found that 4.6% of all the condoms broke and 2.5% of them partially or completely slipped off, for a total failure rate of 7.1%. That means that about 1 in 14 condom uses results in failure. Failure results in exposure to all the sexually-transmitted diseases that a partner has and may result in pregnancy. Even the highest-quality condoms used in the most effective manner possible by educated, monogamous, adult couples fail at a high rate under real-world conditions."

    Here's the thing, ladies: fucking 6 strippers and escorts per month with a condom may well be more dangerous than having one or two sane partners per year, where both partners are tested.

    Also, the unreliability of condoms depends greatly on who is using them.

    And always, contraception is far more reliable than what goes on between a girl's ears.

    If a girls teeth rub against a condom, it can create holes in the condom. I've had one condom slip off. The girl didn't even notice until after. I did not do it on purpose. She thought her pussy ripped it off. lol. I just didn't feel much sensation with the condom on but suddenly felt a lot after that. She wasn't stopping and didn't even notice. Her pussy did keep a grip on me so maybe her pussy did rip it off. She said she had a tight pussy.

    I read that people of Northern European descent are growers instead of showers because we developed a gene or trait for our members to shrink to conserve heat. I suspect during the last ice age, our ancestors who stayed large all froze to death losing too much heat. Only the growers from up north survived the last ice age. Just my theory and I'm not investigating. If we don't feel as much because the cop from removes most of the sensation, it can come off. Lol, we might have an advantage over some other guys in that respect if you want the condom off.

    :) :) :)

    But under what if any conditions would you let the girl have full responsibility for contraception, and how reliable do you feel that this is?

    @papi in 2 years I'll hold the longevity record for living of any male on my mom's side of the family (don't know my birth dad's history). My grandpa was still "alive" until late 60s but he stopped "living" at 50. A little risk at this point isn't going to bother me.

    Last article I posted was from some sort of bullshit pro-life organization. My bad. Next time I'll check my sources more carefully.

    Sources I trust are places like Mayo, CDC, WHO.
