Dear Jane, Have a question? You can ask me anything by clicking that link AND you’ll remain completely anonymous.
I’m trying to have safe Oral (the boyfriend has herpes, I dont) but no one seems to be talking about tips for sucking a guy off with a condom. Got any advice? Should I also avoid any mouth action on the balls to be safe or can I go there? He has no sores.
Your sex lives aren’t over.
Avoid skin to skin contact surrounding times of an outbreak and during outbreaks because herpes is contagious. It can be passed during any outbreak including cold sores or genital sores. It can also be passed during viral shedding.
During an outbreak: Avoid any type of oral, I’m finding it “can be passed from genital to mouth” but it isn’t common. Wait till it passes, consider doubling up on meds (preventative) and avoid skin to skin contact.
As for BJ tips with a condom…
