Next week, 11th January, BBC Three will be showing a programme, presented by Jaime Winston, about whether or not giving oral sex is safe. For more information please see here. According to the programme, giving oral sex can cause cancer of the mouth. Is the BBC sensationalising a minimal risk? Or is it something we should all be aware of? And why aren't young men receiving the jab?
Here's the latest news from NHS Direct regarding this issue.
And, as you should all know, you can get free barrier contraception, this includes oral dams, not just condoms; these can be worn by men and women to protect themselves whilst giving oral sex, many STIs are contractible via oral sex, so it is always better to be safe than sorry! In Suffolk, young people will soon be able to obtain a swipe card to exchange for condoms. For now, visit the No Risks' website if you live in Suffolk, or search the web for your local sexual health services. NHS Choices also have a directory of Sexual Health services here.
