How likely is it to transmit the common cold through sexual intercourse without kissing?

Asked by sfgal (283points) February 16th, 2009

If one partner has a cold, and both partners make an effort to not kiss or breathe on each other, but they still have sex, can the illness be transmitted through other bodily fluids besides saliva? Common sense would say yes, but I’m still curious.
