It isn't always easy to discuss safer sex options with your partners. However you decide to talk to your partner, plan it out before you talk to them. Whenever possible, discuss sexual safety in a neutral setting before you become aroused - the earlier the better . If you and your partner decide to become sexually active and to practice safer sex, then you need to use a barrier. A barrier is something that keeps your skin from coming in contact with your partners skin.
Barriers can be condoms, female condoms, dental dams, plastic wrap, latex gloves, etc .
You can also use a condom or a glove by cutting the tip of the condom or the fingers of the globe and down the side to get a square latex sheet. Place the barrier between the mouth and the genital area. Make sure to cover the whole area. Using a small amount of a water-based lubricant on the side touching the genitals will increase the sensation. When performing oral sex on a man, use a condom for the best protection or use a barrier for rimming.
