I read all the posts from the last 60 days. For me they show what I guess I knew - oral sex does provide an avenue to HIV. That goes for both sides. Also, I know that in many countries, and more and more in the U.S., HIV and AIDS, not to mention STDs in general, are contracted in heterosexual relationships. It is possible to be lucky or a good friend of God. I am bi, but for 30 years or so, my greatest delight was getting drunk and eating the pussy and fucking every kind of female whore that I could find. In the U.S. they were usually really bad as I did not have the money or connections to pay a lot. In Latin America the girls were beautiful, usually friendly, unrushed, willing to do whatever, and (best of all) inexpensive. In 1978 I quit drinking and fucking whores. That is when all hell broke lose with HIV and other STDs. Luckily for me I never caught anything at all even though I never used a condom. My "protection" was to stick to professionals and preferably older ones. I only returned to the non-monogomous sex world five years ago, but so far only with JO and massage with guys. Concern about HIV/AIDS and other STDs is mostly why. I would like to find condoms good for oral sex, the guy to use them with, and a hardon thanks to Viagra.
