You have to use condoms even with oral? Even if there is no cumming in the mouth?Is the precum itself also dangerous? Well you'll probably say there's always a risk, but sometimes risks are so incredibly small... Is it also safe if you spit the actual cum out afterwards? Or does a significant amount always "get down"?I also read somewhere on this forum that even the one getting the oral can be infected if the one giving it has some sort of disease. That seems very unlikely, did I misread?Thanks for all the help!

To get this straight for once and for all

If you wanna be safe, yes. If you're asking about HIV, the risk is low, unless there are open sores present, then of course it is high. What disease are you asking about?

Trying to reduce risks to zero would lead to no life at all. Most people don't use condoms for oral, unless there is a fair chance one has an STD. If there's no cumming in the mouth, it's probably no riskier than heavy kissing.

You should ALWAYS use a condom with a new partner because you don't know what they might have. So, I say yes to using condoms for oral.

Thanks both for the repliesSexpert - Just anything, like herpes, ... (not very knowledgeable in this), I'd rather (yeah okay, obviously) avoid them allIneligible - And what if there is cumming in the mouth, but it is spit out?Virtual_Star - Well I know the person, but not so much the sexual activity. I know there have been several partners. There's no indication that there are any STD's or stuff to worry about, but I honestly don't know how common these things are. One reading this forum, with all these topics about STD's, might get the impression it's much more occurring than it in reality is.

Herpes is transmitted by skin contact. However the usual strain for mouth infection (cold sores) and genital infection are different. Each strain can infect the other site, but is milder there. Having said that, that still means it can be transmitted, and in fact there are a substantial minority of people with cold sores around their mouth that is in fact the genital strain.
Herpes is generally only infectious when there is an outbreak, or just before. During those times it is highly infectious on skin contact - including during quite chaste kissing.
Data for the transmissibility of most STDs by oral is very scanty. It appears to be a possible, but extremely rare, way of transmitting HIV. It's likely that it's worse if there are open sores in the mouth.

Many diseases (STD's) lay dormant (asleep) in the body. These can include Herpes, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphillis, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and HIV....so to be safe, if a couple want to engage in unprotected sex of any kind, it is always a good bet to go get tested for everything together. If you've been with someone else in the past, it's a good idea to wait 6 months after the last sexual encounter before getting the check up.
