Guys, you know how when you have sex you make an effort to at least suggest the use of a condom? Well, that’s great for the protection of your genital regions, but what about when you have someone who prefers all that oral stuff? Because, guess what:

ORAL SEX REQUIRES PROTECTION, TOO, YOU KNOW.

STIs are on the rise – and failing to use protection is resulting in a spiked case of genital herpes, chlamydia, drug-resistant gonorrhoea and other troublesome and hard-to-spell infections in the UK. Here’s what the doctors said:

We’ve only really just noticed that a lot of infections are passed on from oral sex.

Yup, oral sex. But why? Well, they continue:

Very, very few people are using condoms for oral sex.

Yes, guys, condoms. For oral sex. Delicious. You see, the majority of the new cases are among under-25s and gay men:

People don’t know that you can get chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the back of your throat without trying very hard.

If you’re not meticulous about condom use, then you should be getting tested regularly. Like, seriously. Also, if you want to protect your mouth while going down on a girl, gets some dental dams. Super sexy.
