Is eating man's ejaculation harmful for women's health?

Oral sex: Ejaculate itself is not harmful and actually has relatively low calorie count. This assumes the man is not infected with some stds, but even in that event it would not matter whether the semen was swallowed.

Semen: Semen can contain viruses and bacteria. Hiv can be transmitted through oral sex. Herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases can also be contained in semen. If there is significant gum disease in the person who ingests the ejaculate, that would provide more portals for infection. It is reported that about 5% of women are allergic to ejaculate.

Oral Sex: Nope. Not in general. This common sexual practice has no real health concerns outside of the normal concerns for stds.
