Risk of condom treating during oral sex

Unread post by SYZ123 »

Hi! I’m aware you should (unless told otherwise) avoid using teeth as much as possible, but should I worry about maybe accidentally creating a tear (visible or not) in the condom when I perform oral sex? Thanks in advance!

Hi SYZ123,

In theory, your teeth could cause a tear in the condom, although the amount of pressure you'd have to use in order to make one rip is probably more than than you'd want to be putting on a partner's genitals. Too, when a condom breaks, it does so in a big, noticeable way, so if you did tear it during oral sex, you'd know that had happened.

Hi! Can’t micro tears also occur? Ones you can't see?

Nope, condoms don't really get mico-tears. When they tear, it's much more like a rip or an obvious break than a tiny hole.
