Oral sex, as we understand, involves
giving and receiving oral stimulation to the genital organs. It is highly
common practice, especially youths and can be performed on its own or before or
after sexual intercourse.
Multiple studies involving acclaimed sexologists
have stated that oral sex is unsafe on different levels. Both giving and
receiving oral sex can spell trouble with sexually transmitted infections
(STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) knocking.
HERPES is the most common STD spread
through oral sex. There are two kinds of herpes simplex virus (HSV): HSV type
1, which normally leads to developing cold scores around the mouth and HSV type
2, which usually causes cold scores around the genital organs. If an individual
carrying HSV type 1 performs oral sex with another individual, herpes could be
transmitted to the genital organs of that person causing genital scores. This
process can reciprocate with HSV type 2 transmitting from the genitals to the
mouth of other person during oral sex, though it’s a rarity.
GONORHHEA is also very common STD and
can be easily transmitted in the course of oral sex. The infection is generally
passed from the infected genitals to a person’s throat and vice-versa. Only a sexologist having significant experience can handle such infection with perfection.
SYPHILIS is easily transmitted while
individuals engaging in oral sex. It happens when a person’s mouth comes in
contact with rash skin caused by the infection.
Human papilloma virus which is
responsible for genital warts can be transmitted through oral sex as well.
However, it rarely happens but cannot be ruled out completely.
CHLAMYDIA is the throat infection
caused by oral sex, although it is uncommon. One of the bad things about
Chlamydia is that people suffering from this disease are hardly aware of its
symptoms. They may never know they are suffering from such health issue.
The possibility of transmitting
Hepatitis A virus (found in human faeces) increases significantly when an
individual indulges in anal-oral sex. Similarly to Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B
(found in sexual fluids and blood), may get transmitted through oral sex. The
same can be said about Hepatitis C too.
