Truth is, oral sex has never been the safest sexual activity to begin with. It is safer than unprotected anal or vaginal sex, but it's not without its issues. There are cases of people attracting HIV through oral sex.

I think there's more attention being paid to oral sex now since a lot of people decided they could reduce their chances of attracting STDs dramatically by resorting to it. Besides abstinence, which everyone knows ain't happening especially on a board like this where all these dicks and tits are a floppin' about, the only way to truly cut down the risk is to use condom.
