Is oral sex safe for my partner and me, or are there risks we should be worried about? If there are, what steps can we take to make it safer? We've engaged in oral sex, so I'm wondering if we should see a doctor to ensure everything is okay.
Oral sex can be safe for both partners if precautions are taken, such as using dental dams or condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It's important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid oral sex if either partner has sores or infections. If you have concerns about any potential impact, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor for a check-up.
