Oral sex performed on women

Oral sex , sometimes referred to as oral intercourse , is sexual activity involving the stimulation of the genitalia of a person by another person using the mouth including the lips, tongue, or teeth and the throat. Cunnilingus is oral sex performed on the vulva or vagina , while fellatio is oral sex performed on the penis. Oral sex may be performed as foreplay to incite sexual arousal before other sexual activities such as vaginal or anal intercourse , [1] [3] or as an erotic and physically intimate act in its own right. However, the transmission risk for oral sex, especially HIV transmission, is significantly lower than for vaginal or anal sex. Oral sex is often regarded as taboo , [1] but most countries do not have laws which ban the practice.

The virus can enter the body through the bloodstream or by passing through delicate mucous membranes, such as inside the vagina, rectum or urethra. If a person is having oral sex and has bleeding gums, a cut, or an ulcer inside their mouth, HIV could enter their bloodstream through infected fluid. In the same way, a person with HIV could give HIV to their partner during oral sex, through that person's vagina, rectum or urethra.

The study , which has the quite brilliant title Was it good for you too? The study which only focused on heterosexual sex found that 63 per cent of men reported receiving a blowjob during their last sexual encounter, compared to only 44 per cent of women who said that their sexual partner had performed cunnilingus. The study also found that more women than men reported giving oral sex to their sexual partner 59 per cent versus 52 per cent. On a more positive note, turns out that men do actually really like going downtown. This interfered with their ability to focus on their own pleasure and led to feelings of anxiety when receiving oral sex was a possibility.
