Oral sex is a practice that has fast caught up with the youth of Ghana. It is an act of sexual intimacy where the mouth region (mouth, teeth, tongue) of an individual is used to arouse the genitalia or private part of another. ‘Fellatio’, a type of oral sex is where the penis is stimulated by a female partner whereas ‘cunnulingus’ is when the vagina is stimulated by the male partner.
The act has become popular due to the easy accessibility of pornographic and erotic materials. Although oral sex cannot make one pregnant, it can surely give both males and females sexually transmitted infections (STIs). These STIs can be detrimental to one’s health.
The practice of oral sex is a preference and it commonly depends on one’s values and beliefs. Religious bodies have expressed diverse views on the practice. While some deem it abominable, others revere it .Ghana is predominantly a Christian domain with a large percentage of Muslims too. The Christian scrutiny about oral sex has been diverse throughout centuries. However, recent views on the practice are that it could be practiced within the confines of marriage. The Islamic religion is principally against it and do not encourage the practice.
Oral sex is deemed a pleasurable experience especially when it is used as a prerequisite for sex. The sexual organs when stimulated can lead to good sex. However, our sexual organs can be a domicile to several STIs which can be detrimental to our health.
Personal hygiene is very paramount if one should engage in oral sex. One’s mouth region should be clean and healthy in order to avoid introducing pathogens to the genital area.
Also the genital region should be properly taken care of; one should avoid wearing dirty underwear which can cause excessive heat in the genital area. These can harbor bacteria in the genital area. Frequent checkup is very indispensable if one is actively engaged in oral sex.
Sexually Transmitted Infections(STIs)
Experts from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation describe STIs as infections caused by viruses or bacteria that like warm, soft, moist places such as the mouth and genital areas. These STI’s are known to spread from the genital area to the mouth and vice versa. It is generally passed on to people via body fluids or direct contact with skin or sores.
Again,although there’s admittedly less risk of STIs in oral sex than in vaginal or anal sex; the risk still exist. One can get a bacterial infection such assyphilis or gonorrhea in the mouth and/or throat, and in some rare occasions, can develop genital warts in the mouth. Herpes is commonly passed on between the genitals and the mouth, and HIV as well can be passed through cuts in the mouth or small abrasions.
The only effective way to avoid an STI is not to have oral, vaginal or anal sex.
Before you engage in oral sex, talk to your partner about sexual history and STIs and its protection. Communication is essential in every relationship.

SOME BARRIER METHODS TO ENSURE PROTECTION DURING ORAL SEX
GUY
Guys can apply plastic wraps (saran or cling wrap) to the vulva region of their female partners but care must be taken so that one does not rip the vagina with the fingernails.
One could also use dental dams, licks and other latex and other square barriers.
One can also cut a condom into a rectangle. This may provide a small area for protection.
