Bandom, Meet Safe Sex
Feb. 16th, 2009 01:39 amOkay, I get that people are trying to be, like, socially conscious, or something, and that's fine with me. But I have this problem that no one else seems to *get* I've read several stories where the boys are gung-fucking-ho about making sure there's a condom on the dick, no matter what the situation, no matter how long they've been together or whatever, whenever there is fucking taking place. Fine. The problem is YOU CAN CONTRACT STDs AND HIV THROUGH ORAL SEX, TOO!!! THE RISKS ARE HIGHER WHEN YOU LET THE DUDE COME IN YOUR MOUTH!!!!
Just sucking a cock is bad enough, because any opening in the mouth can lead to contraction of the diseases. I mean *any.* If you brushed your teeth too hard or flossed and cut a gum a little bit and it didn't even hurt, but there was a tiny bit of blood? That? Means that you are vulnerable. What's more, if you *swallow* there are all sorts of ways the disease can find its way into your blood on the way to the stomach--infections of the throat or chest that have led to burst blood vessels, stomach ulcers, or even thinned stomach lining. A recent (even if passed) bronchial infection or cold can be all it takes. Also, any exposure to the mucus membrane--eyes, nose and mouth are all connected.
Seriously, people, what were you taught about safe sex? Condoms *all the time* even during blow jobs, and if you're going down on a chick, dental dams. I mean. Whatever. I've written unsafe sex scenes, and if you're going to do it, fine, but PLEASE! Don't pretend like your guys are all safe and shit if they go from swallowing each other's come and then put on condoms to fuck each other up the ass. Because that is not true.
I'm not saying that it's likely that these boys would contract a disease from one another through oral sex, or that any of them would even have it in the first place. But I'm just so annoyed with this assumption that safe sex is only an issue when the cock is going in an ass or vagina.
