Email 716: On Oral Sex and Kissing


Hi Pozziepinoy,

Here I am again to seek some advice, by the way thank you for responding on my last e-mail that was a huge help.

On safe sex, if i don't have a mouth sore or wound in my mouth, how risky to infect my partner on open mouth kissing and also me giving him an oral but he won't do oral on me.

I like a boy, he seems to like me, however, i don't want to disclose my condition and definitely i don't want to infect him. If in case i will push through with my intention, i just want to be definite i won't be able to infect him at all, i'm very happy and contented on open mouth kissing and giving oral i just don't know how safe it is.

Again, thank you very much, wish you all the best in life!!!!

The first one was no condom but he didnt ejaculate in me. 2nd one was with condom and he didnt ejaculate in me. He told me that he didnt have "sakit".
