The Quick Guide to STD Risk with Escorts

If there’s one thing Supersize Me taught us, it’s that eating can be awful, dangerous and awfully dangerous.  And pedantic, overbearing “documentary” filmmakers aside, there’s something to be said about being cautious when putting anything in your mouth.  Or putting parts of your mouth in anything. Or having your things in mouths. We’re talking oral sex if that wasn’t clear enough for you.

These days, while the vast majority of escorts will insist on protection before engaging in good old fashioned bone-in-squish-mitten humping or anal or anything like that, and rightly so, there’s still some leeway out there when it comes to oral. A lot of escorts will list DATY or BBBJ on their services pages with nary a mention of any precautions. As a hobbyist this puts you in the eternal bind that all men face, even when dealing with long time girlfriends or wives. Protection is of course good for preventing disease and pregnancy, but with a wife or girlfriend we always want to skirt the issue, just because it feels better. With an escort, most of us are willing to wrap up for sex because it’s a sane choice to make, but there’s a lot of reluctance to want to take that step when it comes to oral because, again, it just feels better and there’s a pervasive belief that it’s safer. Escorts believe that too which is why a lot will offer BBBJ but no CIM. That precaution makes a bit of difference, but not a lot.

We’re not here to be scaremongers of course, but the fact is no blowjob is worth your dick rotting off. Probably not, anyway. If it was, give us her name, we need to meet her. 

Oral sex, tricky beast that it is, can be less likely to transmit a disease than regular unprotected sex, but the chance is still there and, in some cases, can be all the more horrifying. A case of gonorrhea is bad enough when it’s below the belt, but try to imagine getting gonorrhea in your throat, a real possibility from unprotected oral. The disease may present itself as an extremely painful sore throat or there may be no symptoms at all, making this a more insidious risk than the nasty kind you’ll find in your willy. With no symptoms, the disease can go untreated and head to the blood or joints which could possibly be fatal. According to the CDC, there are 700,000 reported cases of gonorrhea per year, so the chances on stumbling across it at some point, especially if you frequent providers, isn’t as slim as you may have hoped.

Herpes is another major risk factor with oral sex that suffers a lot of confusion, as most people want to try to distinguish between the Herpes Simplex Virus 1 that causes cold sores on the mouth and 2 that causes genital sores. The fact is, either type can set up shop in either place. When there is no breakout present you may never know the Y you’re eating at is infected, but all those fluids swishing around could certainly put you at risk and before you know it, you’ve got sores of your own. Conversely, if the provider you’re with has a “cold sore,” the HSV-1 we all take for granted, that can be transmitted to your little solider if you’re getting a BBBJ.

It’s estimated that 22% of adult Americans have HSV-2 and the symptoms may be so mild that a good chunk of them, up to two thirds, might not even know it. This bodes poorly for the rest of us as your mild symptoms may be my painful sores.

Years ago no one would have ever taken the time to tell you about Chlamydia, but these days it’s the number one most reported STD out there with an estimated 2.2 million cases in the US alone. It’s the McDonald’s of venereal disease; it’s everywhere. Worse, nearly all cases go without symptoms. While a disease with no symptoms doesn’t sound so bad at first, when you consider that if left untreated it can causes infections of the urethra leading to extreme pain and potential infertility. 

As it may have no symptoms it can easily be spread by people who simply don’t know any better. Again, the risk from oral is staring you right in the face or, in this case, sitting on your face. 

Naturally we don’t want to scare you off the hobby altogether, but you should be aware the risks that you may face not because the escort you’re with is unclean, unprofessional or deceptive, but because she may not even know what’s going on either. Protection and a touch of discretion go a long way to ensuring all your future encounters will be pain free and survivable.
