10. There Are Ways to Stay Protected During Oral
If you want to cut back on your risk of STIs, it is possible to use barrier methods during oral. One option is to have a partner with a penis wear a condom. In other situations, use a dental dam or cut open a condom to create a square to hold between the mouth and the genitals during oral. Just be sure you use unlubricated options because some lubricants are not meant for oral use. Keep in mind that this will not entirely prevent you from getting STIs. It will just help to reduce your chances of an infection.
