So, how safe is oral sex? Indeed, there is absolutely no risk in getting pregnant with oral sex, but the risk of catching or passing a disease during oral sex is not uncommon.
The commonest form of pathogens that can be passed on through oral sex include herpes, gonorrhea and syphilis.
Other less common diseases are chlamydia, genital warts, pubic lice, hepatitis B and C, and even HIV.
The risk is generally higher if you give rather than receiving oral sex because the risk of being exposed to genital fluids is higher.
The risks increases if the person performing oral sex has cuts, ulcers or sores in the mouth during the act.
The use of barrier protection can reduce the risk of getting sexually transmitted infections.
For oral sex on a man, the use of condom will reduce the risk of transmission.
And as for women, the use of a dam, which is a small thin square of latex that acts as barrier between the vagina or anus can help to prevent the spread of pathogens.
Some clinicians reckon people don’t use protection for oral sex probably because they are unaware of the risk of disease transmission.
I hate to point out the obvious, who wants to have the taste of rubber in their mouth during the heightened sense of climax?
Despite the lack of interest in using a condom during oral sex, one form of protection worth noting is the prevention of throat cancer transmitted by oral sex.
In reality, it is not the oral sex that causes cancer, but the transmission of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) from person to person during oral sexual contacts (As made well known to all of us by Michael Douglas).
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine also highlighted a greater risk of orophryngeal cancer in people that had oral sex with at least six partners.
The DNA of type 16 was often found in the cancers of people who had multiple sex partners.
As the vaccine to prevent the contraction of HPV 16 is now widely available, it is essential to get the protection, before engaging in any oral sexual contact.
So, having addressed all the issues of how safe is oral sex, the next question would be: “Is oral sex 'real' sex?”
In many cultures, oral sex is commonly used as a means of preserving virginity. This is often referred as technical virginity compared with penetrative intercourse.
Of course, before the Clinton years, oral sex is often perceived edgy and taboo. Is defining oral sex as real sex in the 21st century still relevant?
When Dr G is put on the spot on this issue, his response is that it might be a safer form of sex, but still "not completely" safe.
Is "oral sex 'real' sex?” Dr G's response is - get to know your partner well before engaging in any form of intimacy, as the definition of “real sex” or “not real sex” is unreal!
