The 7 don'ts of oral sex to make it safer and healthier

1/7

​Always remember, it's not always about you

Oral sex, as a variation, should always be done keeping the partner in priority. In oral sex, the one partner uses mouth to stimulate the genitalia of the anus. Also known as oral intercourse, it involves the same onus as the traditional intercourse carries.

The pleasure of your partner should be your priority.

2/7

​Ask the preference

If you are someone interested in oral sex, it does not mean your partner is fond of it. Ask a person's preference before building up expectations.

Only when both the partners are fond of this sex form, it can give pleasure.

3/7

​Do not force someone for it

Be it any form of sex, consent is the key. Do not pressurise someone to have oral sex with you.

Using force, speaking offensive words and burdening someone to give you pleasure does not make oral sex a fun one.

The science behind foreplay

4/7

​Foreplay is a must

Now, just because it is not regular intercourse it does not mean you need to jump into that directly.

Sometimes, foreplay is extremely important. Many times people need more time kissing before going down there straight.

5/7

​STI chances are high here too!

Oral sex puts you in direct contact with bodily fluid. Your internal body comes directly in contact with semen, vaginal fluids, blood, urine, feces, breast milk and these are the potential carriers of disease causing pathogens.

Presence of these fluids in the mouth for even smaller duration can create havoc in your body.

6/7

​Don't ask, find out!

You need to find out what stimulates your partner. Instead of asking your partner "where do you want it" just find out the erogenous zones with a quick but gentle act.

Make it one of the most decent and neat foreplay.

7/7

​Unsafe oral sex might make you prone to these

Health experts have warned against several sexually transmitted infections like herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis and Human papillomavirus (HPV) during oral sex.

Barriers like latex condoms can prevent the fluids coming into your mouth.
