Oral Sex

The mouth offers a whole range of textures and sensations

  1. Cunnilingus: the partner uses his/her mouth contact to stimulate the vulva [lips around the vagina] and clitoris - [external genitals]
  2. Fellatio: mouth contact with the penis

HIV can be contained in the semen and vaginal fluid of an HIV-infected person, therefore protection should be used during oral sex. See: Safer Sex'

For fellatio, a latex condom with spermicide will provide protection.

For cunnilingus, use a dental dam or clingwrap to cover the vaginal and pubic area before commencing.


Oral sex is safe between healthy people that are not infected by an STD or HIV/AIDS.

Some may see oral sex as a taboo which may be rooted in religious prohibitions.

This is a very intimate form of sexual expression and should only be practiced if both partners are comfortable with it.

Many couples do incorporate oral sex into their loving and see it as an experience that keeps their loving new and exciting.

Women may experience the most intense orgasm through oral sex and second most intense through manual stimulation, and then through intercourse.

Men usually find this extremely arousing- both giving and receiving oral sex.
