Not Really: You still have the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (same as intercourse) but really should not have any additional risk beyond that. Practice safe sex regardless of what you do.

No, provided...: If your partner has an STD, all can be transmitted! The only safe oral sex is qwith A PARTNER WHO DOES NOT HAVE AN STD!

Yes: The enzymes in saliva can cause skin damage and let infections occur on the genitals. Quite a few std's can be spread by oral sex.
