ORAL sex is a sexual activity which
involves the use of the mouth to stimulate partner’s genitals. There are
several types; cunnilingus, sometimes referred to as cunnilinctus is the oral
stimulation of a woman’s vagina and or vulva, especially her clitoris by her
partner’s lips and tongue. Fellatio is stimulation of a man’s penis by his
partner’s mouth; usually by licking or sucking. It is often wrongly referred to
as a blow job in fact; it is highly dangerous to blow during this act or during
cunnilingus.
Nippling is sucking or licking your
partner’s nipples. It carries almost no risk of any infection. Rimming is
stimulation of the partner’s anus with tongue or lips. Note that the anus is
not a very clean area of the body, there is no doubt that rimming will lead to
a transfer of germs to the mouth.
Oral sex is now widely practised in
both heterosexual and homosexual relationships. For many years, it was regarded
as an almost unmentionable activity. But these days, research suggests that
most sexually active people go in for oral sex sometimes.
Out of the different types of oral
sex, fellatio and cunnilingus are extremely popular, and are widely regarded as
a normal, enjoyable part of a sexual relationship. Furthermore, it is been
shown that oral sex has certain positive aspects. Oral sex can be
extraordinarily effective at helping women to reach a climax. It can also help
men who have difficulties in getting an erection. It also cannot get a woman
pregnant.
A lot of people get concerned;
whether oral sex could give them infection. Because of concerns about the
possibility of HIV and other infections transmission through the widespread
practice of oral sex, the UK Department of Health set up an expert group to
report back on the matter. In broad summary, their main conclusions were:
HIV and other infections can be
transmitted by oral sex. Oral sex is certainly much safer when it comes to
transmitting HIV and other infections than rectal or anal sex. Oral sex is
probably safer than vaginal intercourse. Though ulcers in the mouth could
increase the risk, in this case, oral sex could be more risky than penetrative
sex.
In the case of cunnilingus, there
may be an increased risk of transmission if the woman is menstruating. There is
no evidence that mouthwashes could reduce the risk of infection. Using condoms
during oral sex could reduce the chance of infection, but not eliminate it.
