Can std's from giving oral affect your genitals or will they just affect your mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Grow where planted: The transfer of germs through intimate contact is similar to a farmer planting a crop.Germs grow where they are planted.If the germs are introduced into the oral cavity, that's where they are likely to show up.If they are in the fluids transferred during sexual activity, any place those fluids touch may be affected.
