Oral sex

[Arnold X]

If im 100% my girlfriend has no diseases is it still possible to get any diseases from oral sex?

A healthy vagina is cleaner than a healthy mouth. You are better off kissing her lower lips than regular lips.

This presupposes you're "100% certain." Every disease that can be transmitted genitally can also be transmitted orally.

I just learned this in health class, so it should be right...if not someone correct me.

I don't think it's also that well known that if someone has a cold sore, and they give oral sex to someone else, the receiver of oral sex can develop genital herpes from that cold sore.

[girlygirl]

Oral herpes (cold sores) and genital herpes are caused by different viruses. However, it is possible to transmit the virus that normally causes oral herpes to the genital area, where it will have the same effect as genital herpes. Either virus can be transmitted at any time, but the risk is especially high when there are visable sores. Follow this link for more info:

I remember in a biology book it said that you've got more bacteria in your mouth than your arse....


...or is the opposite. mmm..

There's less chance of an infection through the mouth bc the bactira/virus has to get into your bloodstream. In the stomach, the acids will hopefully kill the bacteria, but in the vagina or peis or anus..the lining's thin.

Thus increased risk.
