Oral sex with condom. Yes or no?

[Geoffrey2_0]

I've only ever used a condom once--and I am still perfectly healthy and disease free--

 

[Matt_x]

If you don't know the person that's gonna give you head, WEAR A CONDOM (that's why they make flavoured condoms!). You can get STDs from oral too (check Wiki if you don't believe me).

Seconded...wise advice.

I am a pretty consistent user of condoms, but to be honest pregnancy is my biggest concern, I know this is a stupid line of thought but STD's have never been the main reason for wearing one.
But I couldn't even imagine getting a blow job with a condom on.

I have had a couple of girls who would suck me off as a finish to sex and I could smell the rubber from the condom after taking it off even from the distance my dick is from my nose, so I was really appreciative that she would do that even throught the smell.
I have also had an occasion or 2 were I went down on my girl after we had sex and had to really fight to not be bothered by the residual condom smell on her pussy.

Sorry no condom for oral. Worth the risk!

A few people writing on here about having sex without condoms and 'having nothing'. There are lots of conditions that 'healthy' people can have that are not visible or evident - not just HIV and hepatitis. Don't forget gonorrhoea and chlamydia can present without symptoms as can herpes and HPV. I'm not suggesting that these people have them but remember it's possible and with diseases like HPV - if you've had sex with someone else you have almost certainly had HPV at some point in your life. Just because you had no symptoms doesn't mean that the person you transmit something to won't.

Also don't forget if you ever had a cold sore on your lips you can transfer herpes to their genital area (similarly don't forget oral HPV, chlamydia and gonorrhoea). Herpes is not a 'big thing'* but considering that in the USA it is pretty stigmatised consider the risk.

Of course there is a lot out there and you can't let fear rule your life. Ultimately, it is a personal choice and you have to not just factor in the actual risk factors but how you will respond to having taken a risk because whether or not you get or do not get an STD you have to live with the uncertainty.

*by 'big thing' I mean it should derail/ruin your life not that you shouldn't take care over it.

Agree 100%.

This is the importance of getting tested.
Also, there's nothing wrong with asking to see their clean bill of health.
If your going to have lots of partners... you'd better be getting your ass checked frequently. MALE OR FEMALE.

I am fairly selective on who I play with. I'm also always on the lookout for any critters, bumps, red spots, etc. I always ask if they are clean, but better if they can tell me when the last time they were tested, or have the sheet on them. This isn't 100% certainty obviously, but it at least tells you they care enough to make sure they are healthy.

As a matter of fact, I think I'll go this week and get tested just to be sure.
It's free - so why not??

 

[D_Harry_Harryback]

Yes - absolutely - ask if in doubt and people should not be offended by the question - there should be no stigma about being tested (or about being asked about it.

But remember that a clean bill of health from tests doesn't cover everything - different territories and hospital authorities test for everthing and different countries have different protocols/tests and cover different conditions.

For example someone tested in the US may be testes for HSV whereas in the UK they will not be - likewise for HPV. Also in Argentina (where I live) they will not routinely test for gonnorhea or chlamydia on the basis that unless you have symptoms it is unesccary whereas in the UK they will routinely test for these at a sexual health clinic. (I was told I didn't need a chlamydia test because I have no symptoms and Chlamydia is not common here: but I am not from here - who knows maybe I am currently skewing their figures)

Of course this isn't a problem if you actually see the test report but remember if someone says 'I had all the tests and I'm clean' this is affected by local policies and attitudes as to what needs to be tested.

Agree 100%.

[deleted299888]

NO.

If I gotta wear a condom to get head, I'd just rather not get head.

Likewise, if I need a dental dam to go down on a lady, then I'm simply not going down on her.

Or no randoms. Anonymous sex defeats the purpose of sex for me.

 

[jocks54]

ok I guess I am the minority here..........I don't mind condoms used for anything. My fuck bud and I have been playing for years. (I am partnered) I love to suck him in super thin condoms. He likes it too. Says it prolongs him from cumming and I admit I love to look at his precum in one swish it all around his cock, than his load, which I do swallow from the rubber. I have to say I am very kinky when it comes to rubbers and it is a fetish for me. So am I biased in that sense? Not sure.
Jasnecci send me a pm for more.

 

[unknown_rican]

from my understanding - if you don't have any holes in your mouth, no fresh cuts, or if you don't brush your teeth 45mins beforehand its hard to contract the more serious sexual transmitted illnessness like hiv. its possible but its so rare that its almost hard to prove. i was tested after my first one and the doctor did it to ease my nerves. the nurse who has seen hiv over 15 years told me she hasn't seen one come in yet for oral sex solely. she said she has seen rape, drug needles, condom breaks etc. but no one for just oral sex.

she told me if oral sex and hiv was a real issue (dire). it would be promoted in grade school just because of the amount of kids that experiment with one another orally first. they push hard for actual sex and condom use for penetrative sex.

however, all the stds and stis are fair game with unprotected oral.

 

[dandelion]

This is very true. I'd suggest you never go to work without a surgical mask and gown over your normal clothing. Wash thoroughly after shaking hands. Also, consider the not insignifcant risk of being killed by a truck during the journey.

 

[tangas]

I have suck cock before but never with a condom. I do not suck cock often and I am a bit naive. How does a fruity condom taste like and does it taste the fruit that says on the package and also what is a dental dam. Hoe does it look like.

 

[Infernal]

Condoms just taste gross. Even the flavored ones are horrible. The only thing that tastes worse to me is cum itself. I don't give blowjobs to random hookups, and I never put a dick in my mouth without giving it a good visual inspection first. You don't even have to make a big production of it. Just look at it while you're playing with it. Cracked skin, red spots, bumps, rough spots, etc.... If something doesn't look right, then it's not happening.

 

[dude_007]

There's a risk of cancer with breathing air. Especially if you live in an urban area. There's a risk of getting shot going to a movie theater. Some water supplies today can give you long-term gastrointestinal disease. The flu is killing some people right now as I type this.

Be happy. If a condom for oral sex makes you happier than no condom or no oral sex, wear it. You're still at risk for a million other things.

 

[silvertriumph2]

YES! I would....use a condom.

But, then I have been partnered for many years and we do not really need it and we trust each other...literally with our lives. We do not play around with others...except for a bit of j/o occasionally with buddies. We still are tested regularly, which is a part of our insurance...twice a year exams.

For those who do not know the sexual history of the sexual partner of the moment, ...THIN condoms....can be used and are not bad when washed off to remove the powder.

Regarding showing a health test: Showing a paper with test results MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
If you have had sex even once SINCE the test...you can still have something, so do not rely on test results unless you have been celibate since the test.

I was fortunate to have been a person of the 50's-70's when it was still possible to be freely sexual with multiply partners of both sexes (couple and group sex) without too much worry of getting anything. Although, at the time, it was still not safe, but was there were none of the horrors of AIDS and other things that arrived in the 1980's.

The days of Free Love, Make Love Not War, unprotected and anonymous sex are unfortunately and really...a thing of the past...and missed.

Those days of no worry, and the NY 1969 WOODSTOCK MUSIC FESTIVAL are gone forever! I attended the entire, wet, muddy, and awesome weekend, and I would guess
(without exaggeration) that each of us had at least 25 to 40+ sexual encounters (both couples, groups, mixed sexes, straight, gay, etc.) during that weekend. If it was possible, I think we did it!

And...it was unprotected, boozy and weedy, etc. sex! None of my friends, not did I, came home with anything but very sore and tired genitals...(as far as I knew).

I just think being safe rather than sorry is the best way to go.

Quietly ignoring the last paragraph, dandelion? "Of course there is a lot out there and you can't let fear rule your life. Ultimately, it is a personal choice and you have to not just factor in the actual risk factors but how you will respond to having taken a risk because whether or not you get or do not get an STD you have to live with the uncertainty."

My comment was also that just because you don't have a visible wart, lesion or any other symptom doesn't mean you can't give something to someone.

Of course - as I actually wrote - everyone has a responsibility to choose what risks, including whether they lock themselves in the cupboard rather than risk going out, they are willing to take themselves.

OK. This all comes down to personal choice but to represent risk that is largely unpredictable and unavoidable (if you're unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time) such as the possibility of getting run over, blown up in a terrorist attack or getting cancer from inhaling air as the same as a readily preventable risk from a single choice you make when you choose to have sex with someone is rather silly.

I wasn't and I am not condemning or condoning any kind of behavior and I wasn't, quite clearly, suggesting you should cower behind the sofa. If you're happy to suck a dick with a condom - do it. If you not happy to do so - then don't have sex or do use a condom.

These are the decisions that we all make each time we have sex. It is just you have to be cognizant that there is a risk and be happy - just like every other risk - that you are aware and can deal with any possible consequences. Have sex with wild abandon, unprotected, if you so please but make sure that you do know what the risk exists.

 

[crtbike]

Fuck no, I do not suck with a condom on. I want to experience the beautiful cock that I am sucking on and I love to taste his precum and the love the taste of cum.
