ORAL SEX: FIVE REASONS IT IS UNHEALTHY
It’s important to clarify that oral sex might be unhealthy, looking at some certain risks it poses to human health
here are five reasons why oral sex can have risks:
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIs):
Oral sex can transmit STIs such as herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HPV (human papillomavirus), and HIV. Even though the risk may be lower compared to vaginal or anal sex, it’s still possible to contract infections through oral-genital contact.
ORAL HEALTH RISKS:
Certain STIs can also affect the mouth and throat. For instance, gonorrhea and syphilis can lead to sore throat or oral sores. Additionally, oral sex can introduce bacteria into the mouth, potentially leading to conditions such as bacterial vaginosis.
HPV AND CANCER RISK:
Certain strains of HPV can lead to oral cancers, especially in those who engage in oral sex frequently. HPV-related oral cancers are on the rise, particularly among younger people, largely due to an increase in oral sex practices.
ALLERGIC REACTIONS:
Some individuals may have allergic reactions to certain bodily fluids exchanged during oral sex, which can lead to discomfort, swelling, or other allergic symptoms.
POTENTIAL FOR TRAUMA:
Vigorous or aggressive oral sex may lead to physical trauma, such as tearing or bruising of the delicate tissues in the mouth, throat, or genital area. This can increase susceptibility to infections or other complications.
Licking a woman’s vag*nal area without a tongue cond*m can potentially expose you to various sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other infections if the person has an infection. It’s important to talk openly with partners, use protection like condoms or dental dams, and get tested for STIs regularly to stay safe during sexual activities.
