Women and Oral Sex

(Page 2)

Still squeamish? If you must be squeaky clean to enjoy the moment, take a shower before sex. If time is of the essence, a quick once-over with a warm, soapy washcloth should do the trick. Other creative ideas include keeping a handy wipe or two by the bed; they're not just useful at barbecue restaurants.

Obligatory Buzz Kill
While you can't get pregnant during cunnilingus, there is a risk of STDs, including genital herpes and warts. During menstruation, there is an increased risk of transmitting HIV if the woman is HIV positive. A barrier method of protection (such as a dental dam or square piece of latex) is recommended for any sexual encounter, oral or otherwise, to prevent transmission.
