is oral sex safe?!

[Stevensmummyx]

Anyone watching on bbc 3? I'm actually amazed I never knew men could catch hpv and through oral sex! Quite educational x

 

[twinkle1975]

I watched it when it was on last week - made me a bit paranoid!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Aww I didn't know it was on last week, got me paranoid to but has made me consider investing and going for the jab. I can't believe that men can get it I'm still in shock and I think it should be made more aware of x

 

[twinkle1975]

Just been reading up on the jab & it says its more effective if girls have it before they're sexually active - which is why they give it to girls aged 12-13

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Yeah they said that on the programme but it can apparently still stop it after you've become sexually active the whole can't have it if you've had sex was a myth which I also just found out lol x

 

[twinkle1975]

Ahh I see!

 

[lynne192]

lol watching shows can help but i did know this along with so much else that can be caught though oral lol

 

[lynne192]

i am unsure that there is any sex that is actually safe sex?

 

[Stevensmummyx]

I was just amazed at the whole hpv thing I thought only girls caught it, really I knew herpes and hiv could be transmitted orally, I also think that sex education should be taught more in depth in schools I feel so uneducated lol! X

 

[lynne192]

but did we really listen in school? i know i didn't..

 

[Stevensmummyx]

I listened in school but there was things that I only recently learned as I'm studying hiv/aids as part of my college course and this programme lol x

 

[lynne192]

lol i don't know many if any that listened due sex ed lol plus i was at a catholic school

i watched this it scared me to death i have had the HPV vac though, if you can i'd say get it

 

[lynne192]

I'm too old to get the HPV vac itdidn't exist when i was young enough to get it lol

 

[CRWx]

im still a young un' so i got it x

 

[Laura2919]

I didnt even know they did a vaccine.. Lol

 

[CRWx]

yeah in young adults

 

[odd_socks]

i got a bit paranoid watching it too lol

 

[lynne192]

i think you can get the hpv vac between ages of 14-18? but might be wrong?

 

[CRWx]
