A member asked:
What would you say are merits and dimerits of oral sex?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why do you ask?: It's a more versatile way to stimulate your partner than intercourse. There's no pregnancy risk. Lovers who plan to "save the best" for the wedding night may find this the expression of choice. The risk of HIV transmission is very low, but other diseases, famously syphilis and gonorrhea, can be transmitted very efficiently this way and people often don't know this.
