The Risks of Pleasuring a Woman Orally.
[QUOTE=SoapySmith;2182024]The person you are quoting is well known for posting unfiltered hyperbole. This person may do this intentionallyto provoke othersor because the individual is mentally ill and just can't help it. Eszpresszo has aptly pointed out errors in this person's hyperbolic post. Please follow Eszpresszo's advice and get reliable information about STIs. The intentions of the person you are quoting have little in common with sharing accurate information. Here is one reliable source:
[URL]https://www.cdc.gov/std/chlamydia/stdfact-chlamydia.htm[/URL].[/QUOTE]Yes, though I also suggest going beyond government agencies and try to find info on contraction directly from researchers. Why? Because government agencies are run by public health administrators who have a different agenda from an actual medical science researcher. The problem with public health administrators is they are often not medical scientists, if they are even doctors at all. They have an agenda, first and foremost to cover their ass, and if that means overstating the risk of some activities, then so be it. Or to put it more politely, they are apt to err on the side of caution. Scientists also have their agenda, and they are known to be competitive with each other and often very ego-driven. However, a scientist's credibility is based on their ability to deliver empirical evidence of their findings instead of mere theory. They aren't allowed to fudge things.
I'm not suggesting that we underestimate the risk of sex with prostitutes. Rather, I am suggesting that we look hard to what is presented to us and be ready to be skeptical of anything that doesn't come from a truly scientific source. That means being wary of things you read on various dodgy web sites as well as unqualified opinions here on this forum.
By the way, here is the CDC on whether or no you can get AIDS from oral sex:
"However, it is hard to know the exact risk because a lot of people who have oral sex also have anal or vaginal sex. The type of oral sex that may be the riskiest is mouth-to-penis oral sex."
[URL]https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/oralsex.html[/URL]
Note the use of the phrase "may be", which is typical bureaucratic vagueness. I can no longer find the webpages, but I found two different articles where a medical scientist was queried on whether or not HIV could be transmitted from oral sex. Their answers were respectively, "No" and "Its possible, but extremely unlikely".
Peruse this page by the CDC on transmission of STDs via oral sex:
[URL]https://www.cdc.gov/std/healthcomm/stdfact-stdriskandoralsex.htm[/URL]
But look at the statement in regards to giving oral sex to a female. Under the tab for each disease, there is a statement that says "Giving oral sex to a woman with an infected vagina or urinary tract may result in getting (insert disease name here) in the throat.
However the asterisk is for a footnote which explains "* Statements followed by an asterisk have not been well studied. " In other words, they aren't sure of anything, hence the use of the word MAY instead of CAN or WILL. More bureaucratic vagueness in these warnings, in the absence of clear scientific data.
But, I won't be jingoistic here and I will quote the NHS on the topic of transmission through oral sex:
STIs that are commonly caught through oral sex are:
Gonorrhoea.
Genital herpes.
Syphilis.
Infections that are less frequently passed on through oral sex include:
Chlamydia.
HIV.
Hepatitis A, hepatitis be and hepatitis see.
Genital warts.
Pubic lice.

Note how the NHS cites a low transmission of HIV via oral sex while other sources flat outright minimize the risk.
As for contracting Hepatitis A from anilingus, its ridiculous to even talk about it, when there is a common vaccination for Hep A, that is typically bundled with the Hep be vaccine. Most kids in America get vaccinated for both at the pre-K age and a booster later in their early adolescence. The dual vaccination is requested upon enrollment in public schools in most places in the US. The HPV vaccine is now required of teenage girls to be admitted to public schools in some places.
Some of these things are totally avoidable by getting these vaccines. If you can get vaccinated against a STD, there doesn't need to be any discussion of getting it. I love getting and receiving analingus. I have been vaccinated, so I won't be giving or receiving hepatitis from butt munching. If we can get a vaccine for HepC, another major risk will be reduced. Its my understanding that it is being researched at this time. In any case, if you don't have the Hepatitis A / B vaccine, then go get it! Unlike Syphillis, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia there is no simple cure, making them seem like minor inconveniences in comparison.
