Let’s talk about oral sex. All about oral sex…
Let’s face it: putting your face on other people’s genitals is a lot of fun. Hell, having other people’s faces up in your junk is fun! There’s very little in life that’s hotter than really good oral sex, and there’s absolutely no reason for you ~not~ to be having all the oral sex ever. That said, it is possible to have bad oral sex, and it’s possible to do stupid things with your mouth and genitals that can lead to loads of regret. That’s why I think sex education really needs to include some advice about oral.
First things first: All About Oral Sex Safety.
The bad news is that you can indeedy deed transmit and catch STDs and STIs through oral sex. Any contact between mucosal membranes can result in the transfer of disease and illness. Your anus, mouth, and the head of your penis all have mucosal membranes. My vagina has a metric ton of mucosal membranes. All of these, if you have a STD or if your partner has an STD, can make your life more difficult. Luckily, most of the things you’re likely to be exposed to can be cured. (Let’s not talk about the new resistant strain of Gonorrhea that our previous easy cure no longer works for, because, well, actually, let’s do talk about that… later.) Even most of the things we can’t cure, like viral infections, we can ameliorate with anti-viral medications. That said, if you experience anything at all weird with your genitals after unprotected sexual contact, including oral sex, go to your doctor, fess up, and get a diagnosis and medication.
How to protect yourself when sucking a cock:
As for protection for oral sex: when sucking a cock, use a condom. Go for a non-latex, unlubed condom, because lots of folks have latex sensitivities, and the lube used on most ready to fuck condoms tastes like plastic ass. Don’t bother with a flavored lube, they taste terrible (in general), and if you need to cover up the taste of the penis you’re sucking, don’t suck that dick! Clean dick tastes good, or at worst, like skin. If you can taste anything bitter, bread-like, or otherwise like anything other than skin, don’t suck that cock. Ditto for vaginas.
{Warning for grossness: if you suck a dick with a yeast problem, you can get a yeast infection in your mouth.}
Want to lick pussy and ass? There’s protection for that!
For vaginas and assholes: use a dental dam. Store bought, plastic wrap, or a cut open glove all work fantastically. Put lube on the vagina or ass, then the dental dam, then go to town. If you switch between ass and pussy, change dental dams, because ass to mouth or ass to pussy is a good way to give your partner a super fun infection. (not that fun, really.) If you want to lick your partner’s asshole, the good news is they don’t need to use an enema, as sticking your tongue actually into an anus is a terrible idea, but they do need to wash really well back there first. Or, just use a dental dam.
If you need more information stat, because you just can’t wait to use your mouth on someone, you can listen to Whore School Lesson Twenty: Blowjobs, Cunnilingous, and Oral Sex.
Remember: be safe, but have fun! All About Oral Sex will continue in Part Two, with tips and tricks for good oral.

Good post. Have you ever seen a Mike Adriano movie? This guy must have French kissed a thousand girls’ assholes. Probably half of the girls put theirs tongues up his! I’m sure there’s a lot of prep involved for the performers to do this as safely as possible without any kind of physical protective barrier. Interestingly, I believe they start by having a high carb meal at least 36 hours before shooting a scene. This gives the performer the energy needed to fast for that amount of time before filming begins. At some point after their body had sufficient time to digest nutrients from the meal, and during fasting, I think they drinking a horribly tasting cocktail normally prescribe to patient preping for an endoscope exam. This flushes 95% or more of solid waste from a person’s digestive track. Then, they still have at least one or two enemas a couple hours before filming the scene. Finally, they use the bathroom one more time, shower, shave, shower again, dress and then they’re ready to have the anal oral that’s so vividly seen in the final product.
If you watch movies like this and then talk with your significant other about trying it at home one night, keep in mind all of the prep you might want to seriously consider before taking that step. There’s a reason Adriano is able to produce 2-3 movies a month, each with 6 women on average, every scene involving penetrating ass licking, and apparently not get sick.
There is an immense amount of prep involved to be able to lick an asshole and penetrate it with one’s tongue safely. For most people, they’re not willing to go through with that much prep work… which is how they wind up really regretting their lives later.
To my shame I must admit I want to rush through all this “boring” safety stuff to get to the meat of the matter!
Safety first! or third, but really, hugging the porcelain god for a week or more is not much fun. 😛
And thus why fantasy is superior to reality in some cases :-p
What a wonderfully informative article Ms. Harper! And it is true that many want to just rush in and “go for it”…oral sex is certainly an incredibly enjoyable experience for both the giver and the receiver…but a moment of pleasure is not worth weeks of discomfort!! Be careful what you put in your mouth!!
