ORAL SEX

The word oral sex is sufficient for you to know what it is. But if you are new to it, let us help you and others too, what you hardly ever knew.

 

What is oral sex?

Oral sex, as the name indicates, means an act of sex done orally.

Oral sex requires stimulating the genital area of the partner using the mouth.

 

Which Body parts are involved in oral sex?

Oral sex can be performed by:

1. Mouth
2. Lips
3. Tongue

Either male or female or both can perform oral sex to stimulate partners:

1. Penis
2. Vagina
3. Anus

Advantages of oral sex

1. Oral sex is a part of sex that any adult can do, irrespective of gender. Blow job benefits are not limited to only one gender if both partners are willing to do it.

2. Oral sex is a part of foreplay before entering the penis inside a partner.

3. Oral sex can bring couples together emotionally if:

3a. You don’t have condoms but wish to have a great time without worrying about pregnancy.

3b. Male partner has erectile dysfunction. In this medical condition, a man cannot stay hard enough for penetrative sexual intercourse.

3c. Male partner suffers from premature ejaculation, another medical condition in which a male either ejaculates before entering his partner or after penetration before the partner is satisfied.

4. A female is too scared of pain due to penetration, a common phenomenon at the initial stages of being sexually active. Oral sex can not only help her to get aroused. However, it can also get her private part wet for smoother, frictionless, pleasurable intercourse.

5. A female has a condition known as vaginismus, a disorder where vaginal muscles become too tight and cannot even let the penis penetrate easily inside the vagina. This condition is involuntary, which means its not precisely under female control.

6. Oral sex, when done correctly, can help you and your partner achieve orgasm while giving pleasure simultaneously.

 

 

Oral sex disadvantages

1. Sore throat after oral sex is the most common problem one may face due to throat infection.
2.  Sometimes oral sex can lead to vaginal candidiasis or vaginal thrush. 
3. Similarly, men might get male yeast infections, also known as male candidiasis or thrush in men. This situation happens when an infected partner who receives oral sex indulges in kissing and when the infected person gives oral sex to the non-infected partner. This type of infection is indirect but happens.
4. Oral sex can also lead to bacterial infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) in females.
5. Oral sex can also lead to balanitis in men. Such a type of balanitis happens when a person has sexually transmitted infections like Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, or as having thrush.
6. Oral sex can give a false idea that a man does not have erectile dysfunction. Such confusion happens when a man feels that he can achieve an erection. However, suppose he has to penetrate his partner. In that case, the erection is either not strong enough or does not have proper stability and sustainability to maintain the hardness.
7. Oral sex can also falsely suggest that a man is not suffering from premature ejaculation. This situation occurs since neither he nor his partner knows whether he can make his partner achieve orgasm and give proper satisfaction.
8. Sometimes people don’t even realise that the missing spark in a relationship might be happening because a male who is either aware or unaware of his problems like Erectile dysfunction and Premature ejaculation gets comfortable only with oral sex and not penetrative sexual intercourse. He does so because it is simple for him.
9. Focusing only on oral sex can deprive you or your partner of knowing if he has a medical condition of Tight foreskin known as Phimosis.
10. Oral sex can also cause HPV (Human papilloma virus). The particular type of HPV can also cause Genital warts.

People must understand that oral sex is a part of SEX and not complete sex. Only focusing on oral sex causes emotional problems for the partner. Suppose one is unaware of the conditions mentioned above. In that case, it may cause Unconsummated marriage, too (Failure to perform penetrative sexual intercourse successfully).

 

 

Can oral sex cause throat cancer

Oral sex does not cause throat cancer directly, but HPV can spread through oral sex. HPV is not the sole cause of throat cancer; it can increase the risk of the development of throat cancer. HPV can cause pre-cancerous changes in cells, leading to throat cancer in the future. Some studies found that approx. 35 per cent of cancers are infected with HPV.

It’s worth noting that about 70 per cent of oropharyngeal cancers like cancer of the back of the throat, the base of the tongue and tonsils are caused by the human papilloma virus. Need not be scared, as most people have been exposed to the HPV virus at some point in their lifetime. Typically, exposure happens many years, even decades, before cancer development. While most of those infected with HPV will clear the infection, researchers have been working to determine why some don’t and develop cancer.

What are oral sexually transmitted diseases?

As the name suggests, sexually transmitted diseases are passed from one partner to another, while indulging in oral sexual activity is known as oral sexually transmitted disease. Therefore, it is not necessary that you will only get STDs when doing proper penetrative sex. You can get these even with oral sex.

 

 

One can even pass these STDs when indulging in:

1. Fellatio (Oral contact with the penis)
2. Analingus (Oral contact with the anus)
3. Cunnilingus (oral contact with the vagina)

 

Oral sex protection options:

The two most suitable options for protection during oral sex are as follows.

1. A male can wear a condom if he is receiving oral sex.
2. You can even use dental dams or tongue condoms. Make sure they are not lubricated and do not contain nonoxynol-9 spermicide. N-9 can not only numb your mouth but can even cause unexpected outcomes.

 

Can you get gonorrhea from oral sex?

Yes. A person may get oral gonorrhea while having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected partner.

 

Can you get herpes from oral sex?

Unfortunately yes. Oral sex can cause oral herpes. Most of the time, herpes simplex virus -1 or HSV-1 can spread from the mouth to the genitals while having oral sex. The chances of getting herpes from oral sex are more if the person giving oral sex has an active oral herpes outbreak. One can even catch oral herpes from an infected partner while kissing. Oral sex can cause oral herpes when there is an exchange of body fluids. It is saliva in this case.

 

Can you get an std from oral sex?

Yes. There are many types of sexually transmitted diseases you can get after indulging in oral sex. Some of them are:

Chlamydia

1. Chlamydia: It is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis.
2. Gonorrhoea: Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes it.
3. Syphilis: Treponema pallidum is the causative factor for syphilis.
4. Herpes: Herpes simplex virus type 1 and HSV 2 are responsible for causing oral herpes.
5. HPV: Human papillomavirus is another STD one can get while indulging in oral sex.
6. HIV: HIV is another STD one can get from oral sex. The human immunodeficiency virus can also enter someone’s body if they have oral sex with an infected partner. As discussed above, the role of body fluid is significant here.
7. Trichomoniasis: Trichomoniasis infection is caused by T. vaginalis. In this, men typically have no symptoms. However, women may have foul-smelling discharge from vagina, itching in the genitals and painful urination.

 

So is doing oral sex safe?

The answer entirely depends upon your given circumstances. For example, being self-aware of many STDs and other complications, knowing the health status of the opposite partner, and not indulging in many sexual partners.
