The risk involved are of course very substantial

It depends on just what you're talking about.

I meant to say the risks.
Well apart from standard STDs there s a danger of getting infected with something my worse such  as AIDS or Hepatitis.
If you have any cavity in your teeth and in general if you have any mouth ulcers you are at high risk of getting infected.

I always make sure I have frequent dental appointments as well as dental hygiene appointments and so far touch wood nothing happened.

For HIV, the risk per CIM with someone who is HIV+ (the large majority of clients aren't going to be*) is somewhere between 2 in 10,000 and nil. The higher figure came from a US study of gay men in three cities that looked at what they did over a period of time and who got infected. Because oral is the (almost) universal sex act between men, they had to do some assumptions that not everyone agrees with in order to come up with the final result, and it is definitely at the high end of possible reality - there are plenty of studies saying the risk is much less and quite possibly nil. Without CIM, any risk is so near nil that anyone unlucky enough to catch it that way would probably be struck by lightning then crushed by a steamroller on the way to be tested.**

For HepB, you want to be vaccinated - it's more infectious than HIV.

For things like gonorrhoea and chlamydia, it's throat swab time - the bacterials are more infectious still and outside the urethra most cases don't have any symptoms.

* _{Although the infection rates for men who have sex with men are significantly higher than the general population, this is still true for people without vaginas: 'about' one in eight gay men in London are HIV+ = seven out of eight are HIV-.}

** _{Ditto the risk for giving oral to an HIV+ woman.}

I do owo, cim, deep throat and swallow. I love giving oral, and I personally don't enjoy it as much with a condom when I've had the rare client ask for ow. I ALWAYS get clients to wash up when they arrive so hygiene isn't a problem. If I've suspected that a client may have thrush or something else, I don't take the risk, I make them put a condom on. That being said, you can't tell if someone has an sti by just looking at their bits, it's a risk I take. I got tonsillitis a few months ago, was off work till it was 100% gone, I still asked for swabs to be taken at the doctors even though the course of antibiotics were for both throat sti's and tonsillitis as I wanted to know. Came back as tonsillitis.

At the end of the day it's up to you what your comfortable doing and also which you enjoy. Plenty of us do owo, plenty don't. As others have said, plenty of clients out their who specifically look for wgs who don't do owoway as there are as many who only want wgs who do do owo and plenty more who aren't bothered either way. So business wise it makes no difference.

Hope my two cents helps  xox

I only do OW and so far I've been as busy as I like.

I used to until i started going on animal rescue sited and heard of men going abroad and using dog brothels, you just don't know where there sticking their dicks.

The primary source for that story doesn't seem to be entirely reliable. I've also understood that most of the people into bestiality want to be on the receiving end - there are a lot more sources of animal penis-shaped dildos than animal vagina/anus toys, for example - and with many un-neutered male dogs the problem wouldn't be trying to make it have sex with you, it is having to stop it...

But when it comes to clients and their penises, you can control whether or not it's been washed in the past few minutes and whether or not it has a condom on it. You can't control - or know - what they did with it in the hours, days, months and years before then.

The same applies to their mouths and hands* of course.

I offer OW to new clients and i have some regulars witch i know them for some time and they are ok guys so i go OWO. Doing OWO you have a risk of getting gonorea , chlamydia, sifylis etc and i heard from the clinique were i do my tests that is hard to treat it if you have it in your troth.
When clients ask me on the phone if i do OWO i always say that depends and i will decide during our date so like this are already prepared that i may not do it and they say nothing when i put the condom on and i had lot's of them returning. I don't realy think that it can afect your work if you dont do it , this is my opinion about

Yes i am aware of the std's you can get thats why i got scared and will not offer it anymore. I think that if you say on the phone that you offer it and then when they come and you dont do it they get upset and think " she lied for services just to get my money" which leads to bad reviews on forums etc. i dont trust regulars as they might be regulars to other girl as well so i cant be sure they come to me only... But thanks for responding im more reassured not to offer it now.
