So the loot bag I got from the pride parade also has a leaflet that describes how to turn a condom into a dental dam, and promotes using it for safer oral sex ( Read more... )

I think maybe if you're fairly promiscuous and meet a lot of women for one-night things, you might consider it, though given the lesser liklihood of transmitting HIV via oral-genital contact, folks probably figure, "hey, what the hell..."

Since folks of the lesbian persuasion are probably the most likely to be having frequent oral-vaginal contact, they'd seem to be the folks to ask. However, I've never bothered to ask any of my lesbian friends what their feelings on this are (tho I think my former roommate Becky migh once have told me about using Saran Wrap as a dental dam). Especially not, like, in front of their girlfriends ("so, back before you were with S___, when you used to take all sorts of women you didn't know home, did you...?"). I'm tactless, but not that bad.

basically it's going over the edge with protection when it comes to hiv- oral transmission rates are minimal-to-nonexistant. however, it's good if your partner is having an outbreak of herpes or something equally tasty.

i've used dental dams (or had them used upon me) a few times, or saran wrap, but mostly cuz they were around, and wanted to try 'em out rather than any sense of necessity. but having been in a long-term primarily monogamous relationship for the past decade has meant it wasn't a priority any time recently.

The herpes outbreak is really the only time I could envision using one.

Did you not find it less enjoyable than au naturel?

honestly- it was different, but not necessarily less enjoyable. getting head in underwear isn't as great as skin to skin, but has its appeals, ya know?
and sometimes, a lady may be feeling less than fresh and tasty, but still appreciate getting some face, so bust out the saran wrap!

If anyone ever even suggested a dental dam to me, I would laugh in their face and put my pants back on. Most. unsexy. idea. ever.

Agreed.

Although I'm not sure their face would be in a place you could laugh from, at that point.

BWAH HA!

That made me lol in that really scary way where it comes out sharp and loud and makes everyone think you're completely off your rocker. And as if I just said "lol."
