    Well, I'm pretty familiar with porn in general, sex scenes and stuff like those, but something I still didn't see was a oral sex with a condom. But isn't it the right thing to do? I mean, sometimes I have gingivitis and already lost a tooth (molar) and I heard if you make unprotected oral sex with an HIV poz (for example), it may be transmitted, but it's pretty rare.

    I wouldn't make unprotected anal sex, it not a big deal to use a condom and. But for oral sex, it felt weird... I donno... Of course I don't want to be sick, but should ask my partner to use condom? Should I be this careful for oral sex (as I am for anal sex)? Thank you.

    You're pretty smart to consider condom use with oral. While HIV transmission is low with oral, there's tons of other stuff you can catch and from stories people have told me it is NOT pretty.

    That depends how comfortable you are having, for example, genital warts in your mouth.

    ^ this

    And you can't even test for genital warts on guys. Is your partner your sole partner? If so, I would get tested together and find out your risks of getting oral HPV. That's really the only STD that doesn't show up on bloodwork, but can be an issue.

    If this is casual sex, better safe than sorry! It might be awkward and unpopular, but it's not worth spreading things around with people you're not even in a relationship with. Get some flavored condoms and have a good time. HPV and herpes are extremely common STDs that aren't spoken about much - but they exist, and it's good to protect yourself!

    ^^Double this. Solid, solid advice by YeahpIdk and Euler. When in doubt (and always be in doubt), wrap it before it touches your lips or anywhere else for tha matter.

    Oral sex while wearing a condom seems completely pointless for both parties involved. Might as well not bother at all and just stick to anal. At the end of the day the onus is on you to make that decision. If you want near-100% protection from any and all STDs then ask the guy to wear a condom - but the vast majority of people, regardless of orientation, won't bother. Having gingivitis will probably heighten the risk of STD transmission though - not just for you but for the other person.

    Any unprotected sexual intercourse is a risk regarless. Remember it's a risk either way. Condoms taste horrible. Honestly i want my mouth to catch the reward not the condom. Again be cautious, careful, and remember it's a risk
