Your Question:

Dear Experts,

My boyfriend is wanting me to give him Oral Sex, But A friend of mine has told me if a guy "Comes" in your mouth and you swallow it, you could become pregnant. So after she has said that, I'm scared to give 'em that. Is it true?

The Answer:

Dear ipodchick89,

Oral sex can't cause pregnancy. However, oral sex can put both partners at some risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including gonorrhea, herpes, HPV, and syphilis, among others.

Using condoms to cover the penis or Glyde dams to cover the vulva or anus can reduce the risk of infection.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
