(NSFW) How do you protect yourself during oral sex?

Asked by curlyz (1194points) July 18th, 2010

Condoms too? Something else? Or, maybe, somehow you know that it would be safe, and you wouldn’t catch something?

Question for both guys and gals, and intented more for people in the dating world, or who change partners often.

I have used a dental dam before.

My current partner and I are monogamous. We both have been tested and are in the clear, so, it’s the “tongue bareback special” for us.

I read that “professionals” in this area have a trick they do, putting a condom in their mouth and pushing it downward with their lips as they go, such that the customer doesn’t even realize they’re installing a condom.

Condoms… Dental dams… Saran Wrap…

curlyz's avatar

I’m clueless, what is the dental dam?

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@loser Cling Wrap, not Saran Wrap, and make sure there is some water or other (water-based) lube under. Certain…ahem…lady parts don’t self-lubricate. Dry Saran Wrap can get painfully “stuck”.

Oooo use one of those vacuum sealing bags and let me know how that works for ya.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@jjmah That is an outstanding idea, I’d never heard of that before. That certainly beats fooling around with plastic wrap that might not be compatible.

curlyz's avatar

@chels LOL…did you ever tried it yourself?

chels's avatar

@Stasi Nope! That’s why I want you to try it and tell me how it goes :D

curlyz's avatar

@stranger_in_a_strange_land – the idea of using plastic wrap would be a mood killer for me, personally, but I understand, at least it’s some kind of protection….

chels's avatar

You could always pour candle wax all over his… Well, you know.

curlyz's avatar

@chels no, thanks, there is no need for me….:P i’m in monogamous relationship

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

I’m married and monogamous, but if I were single and actively dating, condoms (though I dislike them like most men do), would be the best means to protect the girl.

ratboy's avatar

I insist that she use mouth props to prevent her teeth from damaging my tender places.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@loser Lol….Saran Wrap.

ETpro's avatar

Stay fluid bonded. Sucking rubber sucks.

curlyz's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES – but, how would you protect yourself when you’d want to go down on her?

bob_'s avatar

By asking her to be very careful with her teeth.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Stasi I don’t know, as I have never done that before. It’s always been the other way around. Lol.

I suppose if I were dating, I would choose not to do that in the first place, because there’s no real good way to protect myself or be sure.

The only sure way to protect myself is by choosing one, healthy partner, hopefully for life, and in my case, that has been my “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”. (wink)

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@bob_ That is always my top concern. Lol.

curlyz's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES I agree with you, same with me. I’m just wondering what’s going on in the world today, how people protect themselves with so many different STDs around them…

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@chels Vacuum bags are rather thick,at least the ones in my kitchen are. I assume that a lady doesn’t want any more material “between” than is necessary for STD protection. With a good partner, much stimulation is a light as a breeze (or breath) and will be lost with too much barrier.

Also, don’t forget latex gloves if doing any “G exploration” or “back door play” (and change them if doing both).

DominicX's avatar

Using a condom during oral sex is like licking a lollipop with the wrapper on.

There. I said it.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@DominicX I know :^( , but we gotta be responsible.

ucme's avatar

I make sure we close the blinds.No prying eyes.

NaturallyMe's avatar

@ucme – hehe, that’s about as far as we go with “protection” too. Me and my husband are each other’s first sex partners, so we’ve never had to worry about STDs and stuff.

judochop's avatar

I use a pillow and wrist restraints. So far nobody has been seriously hurt.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@chels Just don’t use beeswax, colored or scented candles (higher melting temp=burns).

zenele's avatar

Some people require a hefty bag.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Your question scares the crap out of me, because I refuse protection. Fortunately, I’ve been with the same women for a long time. but I love the taste, feel, and smell of her so much, I refuse to use anything. I’m dead meat if I have to go back into the dating pool.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I have never used protection during oral sex. Not the smartest move, I know. These days, with my husband, I don’t use protection but if we go outside the relationship, we’re more careful.

jfos's avatar

I don’t.

Facade's avatar

I’ve never used protection when doing oral sex, and I definitely do use it now, being in a relationship.

CMaz's avatar

Don’t have oral sex.

DominicX's avatar

Yeah, just to let you know, that comment of mine was kind of my way of admitting that I don’t use protection for oral sex either. I didn’t want to directly admit it until I saw other people who did the same thing. Just to let you know, my partner is the only partner I’ve ever had and he and I were both virgins when we met.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

FYI Small typo. women should be woman. Must be a freudian slip.

curlyz's avatar

@DominicX – I’m glad.:)
@ChazMaz – really? :)
@Facade – good job!
@jfos – too bad.
@Adirondackwannabe – sorry, but it’s a harsh reality. I’d really wish that we didn’t had to worry about it..but we do.

jfos's avatar

@Stasi Why do you think that’s bad? If both parties are clean and uninfected, I don’t see the need for protection. As for vaginal intercourse, different story.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Stasi I know it’s reality, that’s why it scares the crap out of me. I was lucky the first time thru the dating game. If I care about a woman enough to go past first base I’m going to use everything I’ve got to please her, and I guess I would have to take my chances. That’s scary isn’t it?

FutureMemory's avatar

I can’t imagine receiving oral sex while wearing a condom. I don’t think I’d even want to bother. Like Dom said, the idea is very “meh”.

CMaz's avatar

@Stasi – Oral sex is a grown up thing. As adults we tend to take bigger risks. I say it that way because, younger people don’t really know the difference.

There are risks to oral sex as with other forms. It comes down to how much risk are you going to take. Providing enough comfort and/or pleasure.

If oral sex is that important to you. But, you want to have no fear. And, you are happy and willing to climb into a big plastic bag. In order to do it. That’s cool.

Risk = greater pleasure.

Or the other way is to know your partner. VERY WELL. Before you do the hibity dibity.
