Contrary to popular belief, oral sex is not a completely safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex.[14]. However transmission of HIV through fellatio or cunnilingus is relatively rare. Any kind of direct contact with body fluids of a person infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) should be avoided. In 2005, a research study at the College of Malmö in Sweden suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with HPV might increase the risk of oral cancer .[15] The risk from most of these types of infection, however, is generally considered far lower than that associated with vaginal or anal sex.
Furthermore, oral sex should be avoided when either partner has wounds or open sores on the genitals or mouth, or bleeding gums in the mouth, or has recently brushed, flossed, undergone dental work, or eaten crunchy foods such as potato chips, all of which can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around and secreted from the genital regions. Because of this, many medical professionals advise the use of condoms in the performance of fellatio (flavoured condoms are available for this purpose) and the use of plastic or latex sheets (dental dams or ordinary plastic wrap) for cunnilingus, although the latter has failed to achieve the same level of widespread use as condoms.

Firstly STD's are a risk. I suppose you could wear a condom if you were worried. I don't think it is necessary at ll, but everone to their own. Personally oral sex has a time and a place.

I think it is good if done in a proper way.If both have proper sense of cleanliness & aren't suffering from any of the STDs,oral sex doesn't involve any risk.It is not necessary during sexual intercourse but can be very useful to increase the joy,to make intercourse last longer & to gain orgasm (mainly for female).There are no hazards if cleanliness & STDs aren't ignored.

HIV and AIDs is the risk as all sexual acts except kissing. Use a condom, to make it more pleasurable for the man put some KY jelly inside the condom for oral sex, but never do this for vaginal sex you must change the condom first or it can slip off.

Oral sex is risky. Saliva being watery liquid and genital juices being liquid too STD virus may be transmitted thru this liquid in your system. There is no precautions for oral sex. Unless you can wear a condom on your tounge.

If it is with your life partner and both are sincere to each other, then it is not a risk at all.
