Oral Intercourse

Oral sex refers to any type of intimate contact between the mouth and genitals. This includes kissing, licking, sucking, and using the tongue to stimulate the genital area. Oral sex can occur between people of all genders and sexual orientations. It can be a pleasurable experience when done safely and consensually. The risks of oral sex depend on the type of sexual activity. Generally, oral sex is considered to be low risk, meaning it carries a lower risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) than other forms of sexual activity. However, certain activities pose higher risks. For example, performing oral sex on a partner who has an open sore or wound in their genital area can increase the risk of transmitting an STI. It is important to use barrier methods, such as condoms, dental dams, and gloves, during oral sex to reduce the risk of transmitting an STI. Additionally, using a water-based lubricant may help reduce friction and the risk of tearing or irritation. Oral sex can be a pleasurable and enjoyable experience for both partners. Taking steps to ensure the safety and comfort of both partners is more important.
