A member asked:

Is swallowing semen during oral sex harmful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Oral reception of ejaculate is not in any way harmful except when your partner has a disease. Like for any other sexual activity, knowing your partner is important. Any acitvity carries some degree of risk, particularly if the partner is a disease carrier or sufferer.
