Participating in oral sex could be more dangerous than inhaling tobacco smoke. According to reports by the Journal of Clinical Oncology, throat cancer linked to HPV increased from 16 to 72 percent in 20 years. Researchers believe that throat cancer caused by HPV will become more prevalent than cervical cancer in eight years.
However, there are ways to enjoy sex while reducing the risks. Below are five ways to have fun and safe sex.
Condoms– It’s vital to use a condom every time you engage in sex. Using condoms can reduce the chances of contracting HPV, HIV, herpes, and other STIs and STDs. Couples can make condom use fun by allowing the female to put the condom on while engaging in foreplay.
The Female Condom– For couples looking for an alternative to the traditional condom, they should try using the Female Condom. The Female Condom works as an insertable pouch and can allows women to have more control when it comes to sexual responsibility.
Dental Dams– Dental dams serve as a barrier for couples wishing to engage in safe oral sex. Several companies have created flavored dental dams to enhance the experience.
Flavored Condoms– Oral sex can be pleasurable for both partners with the use of flavored condoms. Popular flavors include strawberry, chocolate, banana, grape, vanilla, and mint.
