oral

Are condoms really necessary for oral sex?

Heather asks:

You say that condoms/protection needs to be used even during oral sex because of the risk of STDs. Do me and my partner still need to worry about this if neither of us has touched someone else sexually before?

What's wrong with my technique?!?

Honey asks:

I've read that the head of men's penises are very sensitive, or the vein on the underside. But my boyfriend doesn't seem to be affected by it too much. In fact if it wasn't for the fact that he thrusts into my mouth when I go down on him, I would think he was completely unaffected. Could it be my technique or is he just really unresponsive or maybe even a little hardened by sex after indulging (with the same girl) in the past?

No STI's! Safe to swallow?

Jake asks:

Hi,I'm a 19 year old male and have been with my current girlfriend (also 19) for a little bit over a year now. We have engaged in many types of sex, yet were wondering if you could help us on an issue we have. Concerning oral sex, my girlfriend has never actually swallowed my sperm, seeing as we have heard of the possible health risks. We have both been tested recently for STI's and been checked out negative. We always use condoms and we try to be as safe as possible, yet we both find the idea of her swallowing very erotic. We've discussed this issue and are both eager to try this, yet have refrained because of health risks. My question to you is whether it is possible for her to swallow and still be safe from any possible health issues. We would love to open up this new possibility and i can hardly believe that you just can't swallow period. Any enlightenment you could bring to us would be well appreciated.

Blow jobs, positions, and porn...oh my!

kanyeknievel asks:

Hey. I have a question I want to be answered if you can! Well, I'm most likely going to get my first blow job sometime soon. I wanted to know when I ejaculate, should I tell the girl or should I just do it while she's giving me it, or what should I do? Watching porn doesn't answer my questions. And when having sex, what is the normal position in which most people start, so I don't embarrass myself. Thanks a lot!
