Do you practice safe heterosexual sex?

[alexfunktemp]

...more specifically: do you use dental dams when the man goes down on the woman? I've seen plenty of porn with condoms, not any with a dental dam.

Do you maintain safe sex practices until you both have tests?

This might be a subject that some avoid, but I ask as a virgin who wants to do the right thing. Your answer might be that I shouldn't worry about what other people do, but your responses might help me deal with the issue when I first go down on a woman.

 

[B_Swimming Lad]

Fuck that man. How the hell are you supposed to have a good time wearing a fuckin dental damn??

 

[Tlss]

It's important these days to practice safe sex. Even if it's your first time having intercourse precaution is a must. It's better knowing you and your partner are safe rather than risking yourselves to diseases.

n-e-v-e-r.
but I n-e-v-e-r fuck with unknowns

Safe sex is a must.
If I was with a man before I see results from std tests, I will only suck him off if he is wearing a condom.
I never have sex without a condom.
I have not used a dental dam on a woman or had one used for me, so I couldn't even tell you how it works.

If you are afraid of STDs especially HIV/AIDS, I suggest you not have sex with multiple partners. Even condoms and dental dam cannot guarantee that you won't get STD for using them. Abstinence and monogamy are the best options.

I've never even heard of a dental dam, if that tells you anything...

 

[classyron]

I have never met a person who used a dental dam for female oral sex. The unprotected sex days are over for me. Unless I am in a long-term relationship the condoms stay on, regardless of how much I hate them.

Same here. I've never used protection during any sort of oral, but I'm careful with penetrative sex and particular with who I'm seeing. I hate condoms though. That's actually why I prefer to date a girl first, get to know her, make sure that she is indeed std-free, and only then do the deed, but with her on the pill and me with no condom. You won't catch me in the bar trying to hook up with some sleazy chick right off the bat.

I have a big mouth. Do they make Magnums for the tongue?

I've never seen a dental dam in porn, but porn is porn--they're out to get you off, not really help you. Most of the major studios screen the "actors" for STD's and HIV prior to filming, but these days there a so many little known porn companies that it's nearly impossible to regulate them all. Former porn perfomer, Sharon Mitchell, is the founder of the adult industry medical health care foundation.

A safe sex practice is to use a dental dam on a woman if you didn't know her STD status. Going down on her can give you herpes or HPV warts.

If you're a virgin and she's a virgin you don't need a dental dam, and there's also no problem with her going down on you.

So what if you are falling in love, have mutual STD tests and she has HPV, you need to keep using a dam - otherwise you'll get it.

Has anyone been in that situation and said "Fuck it, I don't mind getting HPV if I don't have to use that damn dam again"?

As far as I can tell no-one here does use a dam in the inital stages of a relationship. I suppose that means that you don't go down on each other until the STD tests. Or is conversation leading to trust enough? What if they honestly believe they are clear? Is it an insult to ask them to get tested before going further sexually?

I don't mind taking any tests, but of course it's a lot less scary for me...!

My advice falls into the "do as I say, not as I have done" category...I was the worst about ignoring what I knew to be safe sexual practices, particularly in college. I've always been discriminating about whom I stuck my cock into, but never in any manner that would be medically useful (like an STI panel). I'd say condoms were involved in 5% of my encounters, tops...and I've never seen a dental dam in person. Luckily, I never contracted anything worse than honeymoon rash...but I stress the luckily part very heavily.

 

[B_NineInchCock_160IQ]

When I'm just practicing I don't usually bother with condoms.

 

[frizzle]

I always practice safe sex. Only done it once without protection, my first time and I was petrified I got her pregnant afterwards, never again.

 

[gwr1349]

I practice safe sex. I only have it with my wife. Never used a condom

 

[Ed69]

I practice safe sex. I only have it with my wife. Never used a condom

Ditto!Only with my wife,rubbers are a no no in our bed.:smile:

 

[hedonic]

I always practice safe penetration. Visit the clinic every 3 mos and thats where you can get your dental dams free. Although Ive never used one. For some reason, Ive never had an STI. lucky I guess.

It tells me you need to get out more and you need to start watching the female comedians on the LOGO network.

Dental Dam or this shows how to make one out of a condom

...more specifically: do you use dental dams when the man goes down on the woman? I know what they are. :smile: I have been aware of their existence as a sexual device for at least 18 years and I can honestly though sheepishly say I have never had one used on me. :redface::tongue: I've seen plenty of porn with condoms, not any with a dental dam. Cause porn provides a visual stimulus and not only can you not taste with a dental dam, you can't see what you are doing either. Which means the camera can't see the good parts.

Do you maintain safe sex practices until you both have tests? YES! I do now, I say now because back in the early 80's when I first started having sex, AIDS & HIV were thought to not be a hetero concern unless you were Haitian or an IV drug user. Looking back now, I was damn lucky to not have caught anything back then.:redface:

This might be a subject that some avoid, but I ask as a virgin who wants to do the right thing. There are no stupid questions when it comes to safe sex. That's one of the purposes a support group like this serves. Your answer might be that I shouldn't worry about what other people do, but your responses might help me deal with the issue when I first go down on a woman.

My advice, which I admit may be incorrect is to not worry about it.

Ideally if you are at the point where you are thinking about licking her pussy you know more about her than just her last name and favorite cocktail. :tongue: If she is not a virgin I advise going with her to get tested even though you know you don't have anything. Even after testing negative for everything condoms are needed to prevent pregnancy. If she says she's on the pill still use condoms. I don't think you would date someone who would lie about such a thing; but young women are notorious for forgetting to take the pill as directed. At 18 or 19 most of us have never had to take a daily pill for anything. Some girls take vitamins but if you skip a day or 2 of vitamin C it's no big deal.

Well, we all know that you aren't practicing safe sex in your relationship. Good luck with that.
