1. What is oral sex?


Oral sex involves using your mouth or tongue to stimulate your partner's genitals or anus. Many people enjoy oral sex as part of their sex life, but it's a very personal thing and not everyone enjoys or chooses to do it. Different people have different sexual preferences. There are many ways to excite someone. You may decide to say no to oral sex, or you may prefer to experiment with your partner to find out what is pleasurable for both of you.
It's important to talk to your partner so you can understand what you both like and what you want to avoid. Only you and your partner can tell if you're ready to experience oral sex. Think about whether that's true and if both of you are comfortable with the decision. Talking to your partner about protection before you initiate oral sex will make things easier. This can be embarrassing, but taking responsibility for yourself and your partner is an important part of having sex. If it's too hard for you to talk about, you may not be ready to have oral sex just yet. You should never perform oral sex just because you feel forced. Don't be pressured into any sexual act with comments like "oral sex doesn't mean we've had real sex - you're still a virgin", or "have sex" Oral sex is not as dangerous as actual intercourse." If either of you isn't comfortable with that decision, it can ruin the whole experience. Oral sex will bring pleasure to both of you.
