Listen..., NOTHING is totally safe in this game.
Exchanging saliva can transmit herpes (both oral and genital herpes, incidentally), gonorrhea, and other viruses or bacterial infections. The risks are lower than bareback sex, mind you, due to saliva being a rather hostile environment for bugs to live in.. yet survive some do and you can get (or transmit) various different types of STIs just from making out.
Anytime you come in contact with the bodily fluids of another person you are at risk. Even wearing a condom with a super-wet gal who drips all over your balls exposes you to whatever infections she may have. The risks diminish greatly in this case, but even a micro-abrasion on your balls opens you up to exposure.
Keep in mind aswell... most people, especially women, experience no symptoms at all when infected by many STIs (Clamydia, gonorrhea) but they are still infected and will still transmit it to you. And you may experience no symptoms either (or, if unlucky, experience really nasty ones!). So you can easily give an STI to your SO even though you never knew you were infected. Sadly, even though a woman may see no outward symptom the health risks for woman can be quite high if not treated (becoming sterile, kidney damage, cancer risks). Scary stuff!
Make no mistake. We take risks every time we punt. | |
