"How does a person get oral herpes?
Oral herpes is transmitted through direct contact between the contagious area and broken skin (a cut or break) and mucous membrane tissue (such as the mouth or genitals). Herpes can also be transmitted when there are no symptoms present. There are several days throughout the year when the virus reactivates yet causes no symptoms (called asymptomatic shedding, viral shedding, or asymptomatic reactivation).
If a person is experiencing symptoms orally, we recommend abstaining from performing oral sex and kissing others directly on the mouth until signs have healed and the skin looks normal again. Because most adults have oral herpes, we do not advise that a person stop giving or receiving affection altogether between outbreaks (when there are no signs or symptoms) simply because they have oral herpes. However, using a barrier (such as a dental dam) or condom when performing oral sex (even though there are no symptoms present around the mouth) can reduce the risk of contracting genital herpes.
By performing oral sex on someone who has genital herpes, it would be possible to contract oral herpes - but this is rare. Most cases of genital herpes are caused by HSV-2, which rarely affects the mouth or face. Also, and even more importantly, most adults already have oral HSV-1, contracted as a child through kissing relatives or friends "(1).
Genital Warts
"How are they transmitted?
Any person who is sexually active can get genital warts.
The types of HPV that cause genital warts are usually spread by direct skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or possibly oral sex with someone who has this infection.
Warts are not commonly found in the mouth, so some experts believe that transmission through oral sex is not as likely as with genital-to-genital or genital-to-anal contact" (2).
These are the most common. Other STD's that can be transmitted by oral sex include HIV/AID's, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis. The soft mucus membranes easily transmit many diseases. Although sometimes it does take a break in the skin for the disease to be transmitted. The ONLY way to insure that you do not get many of the STD's is to have no sex. However, that includes no kissing (herpes), no sharing needles (hepititis and AIDS/HIV), and so the list goes on.

Yes it is possible.
Some STD's (e.g. HPV) transmit on contact. So if a guy has a wart on his penis (You cannot always see it with the eye), and you touch it, then you can get it.
Most STD's transmit with the transmission of liquids, so if he comes, you most probably have it.

Yes, herpes can be caught by oral sex if either partner has either genital warts or coldsores.
You can contract HIV if the giver has cuts in thier mouth.
and my guess is you can pretty much get anything else from oral sex so be carefull, or get tested and treat anything that shows up.

You have more of a risk of getting a throat infection if anything
As a male when you go down on a girl you are swallowing a lot of bacteria and if she isn't as clean as she think it will not end good for you
