“Mouth: The Dangers of Oral Sex”
In a time span that reveres in infidelity and kink, today’s Renaissance man and urban jungle hustler have altered the perceptions of social norms, and in this, their sexual climate. With more knowledge on the dangers of unprotected sex, the modern 21st century Lothario of today are not the free-spirited sexual polymaths they were in the 60s. However, the risks are just as or more dangers than their 60s counterparts.
Described as sexual activities initiated to stimulate the genitalia involving the mouth, which may include but are not limited to the use of the throat, teeth, tongue and lips, oral sex is a sexual act that even bares significant spiritual and cultural influence, cited in Taoism to Greek Mythology. All forms of oral sex include anal-oral sex (or rimming), cunnilingus (oral sex on the female genitalia), fellatio (oral sex on the male genitalia, universal referred to a blow job), tea-bagging (the act of placing a man’s testicles in his partner’s mouth), Ass to mouth (according to sources, a sexual act used for the removal of the penis from the passive partner's anus followed by the immediate insertion of the penis into the passive partner's or another partner's mouth), and lastly, autofellatio (the act of oral sex on one’s own genitalia), although the latter is often referred to as a form of masturbation rather than the act of oral sex. But that’s just it; some of us just don’t see this as sex.
Techniques aside, it is in fact that the human mouth is one of the most unclean places, and oral sex as an activity is an act used throughout an entire body such as the act of passionate kissing. There are many risks in obtaining pleasure as both provider and receiver in the act of oral sex. Most importantly, both parties can risk contributing to or attributing health risks from his partner because of the incidence of viruses, bacteria, parasites, or bugs on or in the mouth, penis, vagina, the anus or the rectum. Perhaps the most common of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs; ailments that have indicative feasibility of transmission between humans or animals by means of sexual contact) include but are not limited to Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), intestinal parasites, and Hepatitis A, B and C. These aren’t the worst of one’s troubles, according to http://www.medindia.net/news/view_news_main.asp?x=5822, where a research study at the Malmo University Faculty of Odontology in the College of Malmö, Sweden in 2005, suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with the human papillomavirus may increase the risk of oral cancer, because it has 40 different types of viruses and has been associated with cancer of the mouth, cervix or anus. Genital warts may also occur.
In addition to this, the case study “Control Study of Human Papillomavirus and Oropharyngeal Cancer” by D'Souza et al., advocate that people who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their given lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancers than those who do not participate in oral sex, suggesting that there is a correlation between throat cancer and oral sex. This gives accession to the belief that this is due to the transmission of human papillomavirus or simply because the virus has been involved in the majority of cervical cancers.
According to self-help books like the page-turner “Anal Pleasure and Health” by Jack Morin, Ph.D. and chic “The Ultimate Guide To Anal Sex For Women” by Tristan Taormin, when it comes to anal-oral sex, administering the mouth to the genitals promptly after despositing it to the anus can unconsciously introduce the Escherichia coli (commonly E. coli) into the urethra, initiating a urinary tract infection. While HIV and AIDS aren’t deep-rooted statisically, experts certify that there are still risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS from anal-oral sex.
Channeling a sex educator, every time you have sex, you engage in sexual activity, you’re taking risk. The best way to make sense of this is to maintain a snug, secure and healthy sex life. Of course the most advantageous way of not having to contact STDs is abstinence, however the use of latex or polyurethane condoms and dental dams are by far the best way to secure protection. However, if one wears a condom to loose it can defeat “the barrier.” Wearing it too snug it can risk infection if the condom tears, and leaving 1.5 cm or 3/4 inches of room at the tip for ejaculate is must. Last and most importantly, by claims of the Centers of Disease Control and Pervention (CDC), its best if one avoids the use of oil based lubricants with latex condoms, as the oils can eat holes into the latex.
In today’s society, oral sex is not seen as sex, in fact, its often seen as foreplay, merely an activity used before sex. However, foreplay is merely touching, massaging, caressing, kissing, role play and sometimes, outercourse. To raise eyebrows, can one catch an STD by a massage?
