Cunnilingus leads to Herpes/STDs?

[Bowser]

Can eating a girl's vag*nal area lead to possible contracting of Herpes and other STDs? If yes, what can a man do to give his girlfriend an orgasm without jeopardizing his own health? Your expert opinions please. Thanks.

From what I've heard, the ability of HIV to infect through oral, as long as there aren't any cuts in the mouth, is slim.

Herpes is another story entirely.

You could break out the "dental dam," but I'd feel weird about using one of those.

It's pretty much a case of, "know your lover," and beyond that, take a chance.

(From 'http://www.herpes.com" - Heh, who'd have thought?)

Herpes is spread by direct skin to skin contact. Unlike a flu virus that you can get through the air, herpes spreads by direct contact, that is, directly from the site of infection to the site of contact. For example, if you have a cold sore and kiss someone, you can transfer the virus to their mouth. Similarly, if you have active genital herpes and have vaginal or anal intercourse, you can give your partner genital herpes. Finally, if you have a cold sore and put your mouth on your partners genitals (oral sex), you can give your partner genital herpes

General consensus seems to be that putting some food-covering wrap over her will prevent any risk from oral intercourse (that'd be a little too odd for me, though), although when no sores are present (and like hell I'd go anywhere near it if there were any sores down there - yuck!) the risks of transmission are minimised.

Seeing as though the risks are so minimal when there are no sores present, if it looks tasty enough you might as well take the risk in this case.

you do know that not everyone has a sore sticking out blinking with a sign that says " i am a herpe" dont you?
most people catch it for someone who just caught it and hasnt had a break out yet.
i am not telling you to live in a bubble . i just want to enlighten you on the fact that there are risks each time you sleep with someone new. herpes is a risk that you cant control unless you get extreme. like getting out the reyonaldas wrap . when you get extreme you tend to make others think you are crazy instead of being health consious.
any time you have sex you rub or break off skin layers off each person. herpes is a virus of the skin and is transmitted thru the breaks in skin. you cant see breaks in skin because they are so tiny and you cant see the virus.

i do not know alot about the aids virus however i am sure that you can catch it by going down on a girl. i am pretty sure you catch it thru bodily fluids and secretions and while you are down there guess what you are licking? yep those are the bodily fluids.

There's 0 chance unless she has the desease already, obviously. So if this is your GIRLFRIEND who you're in a monogimous relationship with and not some ONS, get tested for STDs with her. If you're both clean and fathful, you'll have nothing to worry about.

It is very difficult to catch Genital Herpes Orally. The Simplex 2 doesn't take to the mouth well, and Simplex 1 doesn't take to your junk. It is just as possible to catch HIV from cunni as it is from unprotected sex.

But hell, you gotta live.

You could always try doing what I do: Don't date *****s. Get a virgin, hell, they're practically disease free.
