Each partner should ideally practice safe oral sex. This is so that venereal disease does not attack and hinder your sexual life. Then how do you get your partner to practice safe oral sex, without making him offended or uncomfortable? Take a peek at the tips here.
How to invite and have safe oral sex with a partner
The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) says that the rate of spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as genital herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhea is spread rapidly through unsafe oral sex.
Dr. Peter Greenhouse, sexual health consultant for the NHS in the UK also said that the spread of gonorrhea is increasing rapidly because the disease is drug resistant. Today's common medicines are no longer effective in eradicating gonorrhea bacteria. These bacteria will remain in the throat and in the mouth as a result of many partners not having safe oral sex.
In fact, it's not just genital herpes, gonorrhea, and syphilis that are easily spread through oral sex. Other venereal diseases such as HIV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C, genital warts and pubic lice can also be transmitted through oral sex.
How do you get your partner to want to have safe oral sex?
Safe oral sex can be started with the right way of discussion and invitation with a partner. It's a good idea to encourage and prevent venereal disease through oral sex when you and your partner have started to be more intimate.
1. Try starting with a question
Before starting your hot session, make sure you are both honest and open about each other's sexual history. Ask important things like, "Have you had sex before?".
Such questions can be conversation starters that lead you to serious questions such as, "Have you ever had an HPV injection or have you been tested for HIV?" If your partner seems offended or embarrassed to answer, there's no need to be angry. Just explain slowly that it's important to know so that both of you can enjoy hot oral sex without worrying about the risk of disease.
Some people may not be aware that they have symptoms of venereal disease. The reason is, the symptoms of venereal disease are often ignored and the virus can remain in your body for years without severe symptoms.
2. Take partners to test for venereal disease together
Oral sex feels comfortable when done with a partner who is free from venereal disease. To get a sense of security, you and your partner can both do a venereal disease test. That way, you and your partner can both get clear information about each other's body conditions through test results.
If your partner does not want to do a venereal disease test, please use a safe safety device to prevent transmission of venereal disease.
3. Prevent together
If you and your partner are declared clean from viruses or bacteria that cause venereal disease, start a discussion about how to prevent it. There are several steps you can take, for example, injecting HPV (human papillomavirus) and use condoms for safe oral sex.
Use of condoms or oral protective latex (dental dam) is highly recommended during oral sex. Even though oral sex carries a very small risk of HIV, you can still get it if the person receiving oral sex has venereal disease or sores on their genital area. Viruses and bacteria that cause venereal disease can also be acquired if sex is done with sores in the mouth or bleeding gums.
4. Don't blame each other
If later you or your partner get sick, it's better not to blame each other. The reason is, most people do not know that they are infected or pass the disease on to other people. You should focus on treatment, medication, and lifestyle that can treat venereal disease.
