Question : Hi,

my bf and I are both virgins, I am his first girlfriend and I have kissed a guy before but that's all. We do oral sex most often without a condom and was wondering if this is safe? are there any risks for me or my throat?

Brief Answer:
Oral sex risks

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM

You are wondering if oral sex carried any health risks. There is a chance of contracting gonorrhea through oral sex if you partner has gonorrhea. Since your boy friend is not otherwise sexually active then there is no risks.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
