Brushing your teeth beforehand also raises your risks. (use mouthwash, but don't brush more than 30 mins before so the tiny tears in your mouth can heal)

There's lots of info on the net, here's just one excerpt:
"a woman or man can transmit a sexually transmitted germ to you and your penis during a blow job. The most common germ transmitted in this fashion is probably herpes, but syphilis, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, chlamydia, human papilloma virus are all possible (but unlikely) as well. HIV/AIDS is VERY unlikely to be transmitted in this way. A person who has not yet developed an active herpetic outbreak of the mouth from a bad cold ("fever blister"), can transmit the virus a day or so before they actually get the actual blisters. If they then suck your dick, their oral herpes germs can get deposited on the skin of your penis. Any roughness that can cause a cut, scratch, bite, abrasion, etc., from tight penile skin or just being "too frisky" can be the necessary opening for the virus to get in and cause infection a few days to a few weeks later. Is it likely? Probably not, but it is possible."

I truly enjoy a nibble or two here and there, and whilst it is most delicious bb, I know the consequences. I have had so much fun making "sundaes". A very fresh and safe flavored condom, smothered in whipped cream, drizzled with chocolate and a cherry on top. Slowly indulging myself and knowing the anticipation is mutual. I am sure that even though both myself and my client are in the throes of passion, at the end of the day we are both concerned with Safety. The more we are safe, protect ourselves, And use our imagination, the more Bliss we can experience in life.

You can do good things bad and bad things good~

From what I have read, it's best not to brush your teeth immediately before giving head, not allowing cim, and rinsing afterwards with a mouthwash like listerine (or a natural one with tea tree oil) is supposed to help.

But people can contract gonorrhea or chlamydia, and more rarely, HIV, from oral sex. It's not common, esp if you are fairly healthy and do not allow the man to ejaculate that way, but there is always some risk.

My understanding is some clinics like the one in SF can test your throat for STDs.

My take is everyone who is not monogamous, whether in this biz/hobby or not, should get tested for everything at least twice a year. STD testing is just about painless these days, with a urine sample being taken for G and C and a mouth swab being taken for HIV, in most cases.

No jugdement,however when I came back to this business it had changed in so many ways, some good and bad. I was stunned at the liberties the providers were allowing, and the hobbist were bulling. However as in Rome, I too did what everyone else was offering. I felt I had to do it to make money, but as time when on I didn't feel very good about myself. I no longer felt I was in control my business let alone the health risks I was taking. It is true you can contract in gonorrhea in your throat not to mention all the other virus, bacterial infections etc... Remember our mouths are filthy, full of bacteria you don't know what we might be giving our clients to bring home to his wife. When I'm giving oral with a condom I have another one ready so I can quickly change before I have intercouse. I definitely don't want give myself a vaginal bactertia infection.
I had a lot of fear making that choice to go back to condoms. Some clients barked but I explained I was doing it for their safety. The outcome for me is that I gained far more than I lost..

Good Luck to all and Happy Holidays most of all stay safe.

I love you ALL already and I dont even know you...;)

If you blow all your money on un-necessary purchases, you will be broke on the day when you get a bbbj inquiry. You might be tempted to say yes. Say no that new wardrobe/say no to bbbj. If you are addicted to a drug, including alcohol, get off it now.
It owns you. Stop using the stuff so you will own yourself.
If you want a lecture about not using drugs or managing your money, inbox me.

Are there clients who will try you once without knowing exactly what you offer? Then if you refuse to do something bare, they won't be back, but if you had agreed to it, they would repeat? Fine, then it's going to be a one-time client. I am all for being clear, but of course you are limited in what you can say and advertise.

*I also ask any provider this question if she is providing any service that she does not enjoy providing. It doesn't have to be bare. It could be covered DATY, or something else. None of use should do anything that makes us uncomfortable. Each one of us has a unique offering. I always offer counseling and I know some of you do too. Sometimes that's what they most need, although they don't put that into words. I feel that my willingness and skill at counseling is worth more than some unsafe act.
