Rubbers for oral or that is over the top - not necessary? There’s a lot of postings about guys that have fears of STI when getting blown or blowing other dudes. Yes, there’s definitely some risk. Mostly with gonorrhoea, as it can be asymptomatic in the throat of the one doing the blow job. And if the guy has gonorrhoea on his cock, it’s pretty obvious and you just don’t put it in your mouth. It can be asymptomatic there too, but that’s rare.
But there’s also a lot of misinformation on the Internet. And medical sites are often hyper conservative, and will often overstate the risk and freak everybody out.
Is their risk? Yes. But it is very low. The question is how low? Are there circumstances where you could forgo rubbers for oral and have the risk so minimum that it’s negligible? Maybe sucking the head and licking is ok and avoid deep throat?
A real world poll might be helpful.
If you could estimate your lifetime body count for oral and how many STIs you have actually got during this time. This might help put some perspective on the real risks.
Thanks for participating.
