All of us enjoy the occasional oral vacuum but exactly how risky is going down on a guy?

Oral sex is much safer than fucking but there is still a very small risk of HIV infection. While this risk is very small, it is important for us to be aware of any risks so we can make informed decisions on our sex lives.
It is more likely for an infection to occur if there is damage to the lining of the mouth (mouth ulcers, sores, bleeding gums) and if you swallow. If you do have any abrasions in your mouth you may decide that you would feel more comfortable using a condom. However, there has only been a small number of HIV infections proven through oral sex.
What ever you decide to do enjoy!!
