Another newbie question, and another subject that has been covered before, but seemingly not from this particular angle (well I didn't find anything on a search.)
I hear a lot of talk about 'safe sex' and wonder exactly what it refers to. Obviously it means using condoms for penetration, but what's the position on oral sex?
While we don't particularly want to catch anything, HIV is our obvious concern. With statistics showing that 85,000 out of 60,000,000 UK citizens are infected with the disease, that's over a 1 in 1,000 chance that the random person you're exchanging bodily fluids with is a carrier. While you wouldn't back a horse with odds like that, they're hardly lottery jackpot odds either.
Reading up on the subject, oral sex with an HIV infected person is low, but not zero risk. On the other hand, while I have no problem with using condoms for penetration, the idea of mucking around with cling film to give oral or wearing a condom to receive it really does sound like it'll take away a great deal of the pleasure.
Ultimately, I know it's our decision, but I'm just wondering what the general trend is. Is oral without a barrier accepted within the bounds of 'safe sex' in the swinging community, or do those who practise safe sex use a condom or dental dam at all times? I'm not specifically asking people to reveal what they themselves do (though feel free to if you wish) but observations and experiences would certainly be welcome.
Not much evidence of condoms or other barriers in the oral sex we have been involve din or witnessed swinging.
Some let it fly some spit some swallow some gargle or dribble.
Its a small risk that a lot of folk are prepared to take. Regular GUM checks will reassure you that you haven't picked up anything nasty. They can also advise on managing risk.
I only use cling film when giving oral to hairy women for obvious reasons.
They say that banana flavoured condoms are OK

Thanks folks, you've confirmed what I pretty much thought was the state of play anyway. I suppose the trick is to minimise the risk without spoiling the fun.
i think it comes down to either of two conditions to be in.
if you have enough lust and libido, you are likely to get out there and take some sort of risk at some point.
if you don't, you'll be safely at home taking no risks.
Stick to ironing, then you've no worries :giggle:
Why isn't there an ironing emoticon?!
How spooky that I should find this thread ...I was thinking of starting something similar myself.
Recently browsing profiles, I've noticed a lot of 'penetration' shots in the pics gallery - which I think are great, don't get me wrong, some of these people I know, some I don't, however I've yet to spot one with a condom on.
It does concern me, because neither Mr Tin or myself would ever contemplate having full sex with someone without using condoms, yet there appears to be an ever growing number of people quite willing to put not only their own health, but the health of others, at risk.
I'm also conscious that the the guys/gals in the pics may be with their own partner, and therefore may not need or want to use condoms, but the 'most definately singles' ... why??
I can't figure it out, can someone else enlighten me?
