STI oral sex

Well we can catch STI s from oral sex, but they would not likely show up so soon
"within hours "

However - I presume there is some intense mouth to mouth kissing, before / during after -
so you may be acquiring “ordinary” germs, flu like germs. ( gonorheah and herpes can be also spread oral to oral probably there are more )

Or you just might be in a awkward position, straining yr neck - yes this can feel like
a very sore throat. leading to a general body reaction

I would urge you and yr partners to be tested for STIs - If in doubt : get tested.

I assume this is in reference to what someone said, somewhere, sometime?

Just go and get tested, geez!

I believe it is in reference to a staff column:

Can I catch an STI from oral sex?

MODERATOR NOTE: I’ve added a link to what I guess is the column, into the OP. That sort of kills svd678’s comment, sorry. :wink: Also, Fear Itself, this is a recent column by Cecil, not a Staff Report, but thanks for adding the link.

aussie thorn and others: please, when you start a thread in this forum, provide a link to the column in question. Saves search time, cuts down on confusion, and helps keep us on the same page. OK?
