What Are The Risks of Oral Sex ?

  • Risks Occurring Due To Oral-Penis Contact -
  • If the male partner has some infections, then there are chances that the receptive partner can get infected swallowing the body-fluid or semen of the male partner. If it comes in contact with any cold sores, open sores then it can get routed directly to the blood stream. Then the pathogen can spread in number and start the infection in the receptive partner. Even the receptive partner with bleeding gums or open sores can also pass its infection to the other partner through any wound or cut in the sexual organ. The risk of transmitting an STD through oral sex is very minimum than the anal sex or vaginal sex.

  • Risks Occurring Due To Oral-Vagina Contact -
  • Transmitting STDs like HIV can be possible in the insertive partner with oral sex with infected women. Because if the vaginal fluids is infected, it can cause the infection in the receptive partner after the vaginal fluid enters the mouth. If the insertive partner has cut, sores or bleeding gums, then it can transfer the infection to the other partner by coming into contact with any vulvar sores or vaginal cuts or sores.
