Great question Sarah.

Regarding oral sex on the BF, I would suggest a condom without spermacide. Yet, I have to be honest, I have no suggestion for female protection. Interested to read the replies.

For female receptive oral sex, there are several options. You can use seran wrap, as you have been. You can also use dental dams, or you can cut a condom open lengthwise and use that.

For male receptive oral sex, any type of condom will do fine. Some people prefer flavored condoms as they don't like the taste of latex, but that's a personal preference.

If both of you have never had any kind of sexual contact before, it would be unlikely to get an infection through oral sex. But, because some sexually transmitted infections are also transmitted in ways other than sex, it's possible that either of you may have one and be able to pass it on. That's why it's a good idea to use barriers as Joey mentioned and to get tested for infection regularly.

In terms of places to get tests done, try the 2 links Heather and Justin listed in your other thread:

Seran Wrap does not protect against any STIs. It's a myth and puts you had a stupid risk.

Use a CONDOM - that's what they were invented for.

Condoms actually were not invented for use as barriers for cunnilingus, and without making any adaptations to them, they won't work for that use. They will work for fellatio (oral sex to someone with a penis) as-is, but not for cunnilingus.

They can be adapted for that use (you can get a scissors and cut from base to tip, creating a dental dam), however.

But saran wrap/cling film is also another commonly used barrier for cunnilingus and has been tested and found by the CDC to prevent transmission of one of the two most common STIs transmitted during cunnilingus (Herpes). So, no, it is not a myth that used for this purpose, saran wrap can be an effective barrier. What you're stating there, Kristii, is incorrect.
