How is oral sex healthy and safe? Oral sex is indeed a pleasure in itself in variations of your sex with your partner. But did you know that oral sex is often a disease?
Maybe some of you don't know that the most common health risks associated with oral sex are the spread of the HPV virus (human papillomavirus) and the direct means of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Oral sex has long led to the emergence of cervical cancer, oral cancer, and throat cancer. For a more complete explanation of oral sex, please refer to the explanation below.
Risks of oral sex
What is meant by oral sex? For those who don't know the term, oral sex is a sexual activity that provides stimulants to the genitals using the mouth, tongue, teeth, or even throat. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007 recently stated, throat cancer can be caused by oral sex, especially men who contract the HPV virus from women, which is often unconsciously transmitted through oral sex.
The risks above can be obtained depending on how much you change partners, how many objects and things that touch or enter your genitals, and also how immune your body's immune system is to dealing with viruses due to the enjoyment of oral sex.
Healthy and safe way of oral sex
Using tools or something that prevents the entry of germs can reduce the risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases. These safety devices, for example, include condoms or latex plastic dental dam placed over the vulva or anus (for men). But remember, no matter how much you protect against viruses and disease, it's still in the human mouth and the genitals of you or your partner, living billions of bacteria. For that, there are a number of tips and ways that oral sex can be safe and still be enjoyed.
1. Shower and clean your genitals before and after oral sex
Bathing can make you feel refreshed. Take a shower using soap and clean your vital organs as clean as possible, especially if you really want to have sex again (vaginal and vaginal penetration) after that.
2. Use condoms
Oral sex using a condom does reduce the pleasurable sensation of touching the genital skin directly. However, one way of healthy and safe oral sex is to use a condom. Especially if you don't do it with a regular partner. In addition, when oral sex uses a condom, you can also take advantage of a variety of textures and flavors that can add to your sexual pleasure for the opposite sex.
3. Use lubricants
To avoid excess friction on your teeth, try using a lubricant during oral sex. Make sure you read the ingredients on the packaging. Do not use lubricants or oil-based latex condoms. Instead, choose a water-based lubricant. Or silicone which is safe if in direct contact with mouth and genitals. You can also use lubricants to make dental dam more flexible and less damaged.
4. Don't be pushy
The method of oral sex performed by women against men is by sucking the penis, usually by forcing the penis into until the woman chokes. It is better not to force it, because in addition to making a woman's throat uncomfortable, this is a source of viruses or bacteria attacking directly into the throat.
5. Look and pay attention to the slightest wound or dirt
A sex partner's body that looks healthy and fit is not a guarantee that their vital organs are also healthy and clean. For men and women, before having oral sex it is better to see clearly whether there are any wounds or other fluids, apart from sperm and vaginal fluids, on the partner's penis.
6. Brush teeth and gargle antiseptic
After finishing oral sex, it's a good idea for you and your partner to immediately clean the mouth area by brushing your teeth and rinsing with an antiseptic solution. Most importantly, pay attention to your health condition whether it is problematic or not after oral sex, and don't forget to always consult your doctor about your health.
