Dr. Fulbright, Are there any health risks or hazards associated the oral consumption of semen? Thank you so much and I hope that you have a wonderful day. Sincerely, -Zach
Dear Zach, This is often a matter of debate for lovers, especially since oral sex has been misrepresented as a low risk form of sex. Anytime semen is deposited into the mouth, there is a risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection. Possible infections include gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, human papilloma virus (HPV), and CMV. To reduce the risk of infection, a latex condom should be worn over the penis.
