A member asked:

Even if my boyfriend has only ever been with me, should i still use a condom for oral to protect against stds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Works well: There are more than a dozen illnesses that can pass sexually including many not considered STD's by most physicians. Consider the newly noted Zeka virus, hepatitis and others. Condoms during sexual activity give you a little extra help in avoiding problems you don't want.
