Let's Talk About Down There

Going Down South: A Comprehensive Guide to Oral Sex

Listen Later

This week, Dr. Jen is hopping back on the mic to talk about the tongue-twisting topic of oral sex! Is it safe? What are the risks? From Cunnilingus to Fellatio to Anilingus, and everything in between, she’ll cover it all. It's time to break down the stigma around oral sex and start talking about how to make it more safe, consensual, and fun. So grab your condoms and dental dams, and let's get to it!  

 

 What's going down:   

  • A proper definition of what constitutes oral sex and the proper names associated  
  • Breaking down whether or not oral sex can cause cancer  
  • Facts and stats about oral sex that might shock you  
  • An overview of the various forms of STIs you can contract from giving and receiving oral
