As a sexual educator, I feel that it’s important to be overtly sex positive and inclusive. This is especially true when dealing with smaller or less socially acceptable groups or sexual activities. In my personal life, I still struggle to truly embody those feelings of connection, appreciation, and wholehearted acceptance that I try to put into the world.

For example, I often have a hard time seeing certain subtle aspects of beauty in women that I readily acknowledge in men. I also get a bit anxious when I see people engaged in anything harsher than light BDSM.

Although I try really hard, it’s impossible for me to be the go to sexpert for everyone. However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t try to be the best that I can. This is why I actively seek to understand and learn more about the topics or behaviors that make me uncomfortable. Right now, I’m focusing on expanding my understanding transgendered people and issues, aka the T in LGBT.

A study published in early 2011 found an unexpected and unexplained rise in oral cancers that are associated with HPV. When researchers sought to find an answer for their results they found a separate survey, which found a rise in oral sex. Since it is very possible to spread HPV through oral sex many experts concurred with the findings and they were subsequently released to the public.

When media outlets caught wind of these findings, they ran with the story that our wanton oral sex was causing the higher incidents of HPV related oral cancers. Unfortunately, that’s only part of the story.  

How can I make oral sex less risky without nasty ass condoms

You probably already covered this but, I enjoy giving oral sex, I’m newly single and feel like a super slut if I just give it to any guy. I want to be able to go down when I want, but I need to know how to be safe about it. How do pleasure guys without my mouth tasting like condoms?

Condoms do have such gross flavor. I completely understand you desire for other options. Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do to lower your risk of contracting something that doesn’t involve a condom. Before I get into your question, I want to handle the question you didn’t ask.

Jayne Mansfield was a famous screen actress in the 50's and 60's. While her career had many ups and downs, she was able to maintain household name status until her tragic and untimely death in 1967 at the age of 34.

Jayne is a very interesting actress and public figure because she was always the underdog. Never quite number one, she often found herself in a battle for media attention against other starlets. A battle she often lost to actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren. Luckily she was a master manipulator of the media and always found her way back into the spotlight.
