Yes, I would kiss/make-out with a WG, and here's why.
The bacterial STD infections can be easily treated by taking an antibiotic for several days. It's similar to what you'd do if you got strep throat.
HIV/AIDS is essentially unheard of via oral transmission, and female-to-male from vaginal sex is rare (but I still wear a condom for vaginal sex). It is less rare (but still rare) for anal sex (and would always wear a condom for that with a WG).
Herpes I -- you probably have it already, from being kissed by an aunt as a 10 year old.
Herpes II -- If you don't already have it (and I don't), there is risk from vaginal sex. While there's also risk from DATY or getting head, it turns out that Herpes II is pretty benign if it settles in/around your mouth. And once you have it, you can't get it somewhere else. Most people who have it don't know it because they are asymptomatic. However, some are very symptomatic, and it is not pleasant to have HSV 2 genitally. Also, if you see sores or pimples on the girl, run away.
Hep B -- You don't want to get this. Get vaccinated before mongering, then don't worry about it ever again.
HPV -- There is now a shot for this, but for some reason they only give it to kids. I'm not worried about it -- seems more of a problem for women.
Crabs/lice/creepy-crawlies -- Well, check carefully first. Or stick to shaved girls!
Others -- Well, there are certainly others, but once again, they can typically be treated. If it smells or tastes, stay away.
Also, and this is just something I developed myself: if I'm doing a week's heavy mongering, I prophylactically take azithromycin (4 x 250mg pills the evening before, then one every 36 hours thereafter until the last day). There is some (but not a lot) of evidence that this kind of "ounce of prevention" is pretty effective. Especially if one is married, this may be worth considering.
Ok, this is probably too much information, but I did research it very carefully about 5 years ago, and these are the conclusions I came to. Nothing I've read since then has changed my mind.

Would you do it? Is it safe? Provided you have no cuts in your mouth.
