Most people are
familiar with the male condom, which can be used during oral-penile sex
to protect the giver and receiver from oral and genital STIs,
respectively.
But
what about women who want to receive oral sex or engage in oral-anal
sex? What form of protection can they use to protect themselves and
their partners? Enter: the dental dam.
The
dental dam, originally developed as a medical device for dentists, has
evolved into something that just about everyone should have in their
sexual health toolbox. Learn more about this handy tool and how can
provide protection from oral HPV.
What Is a Dental Dam?
A dental dam is a sheet of latex. It’s placed on top of the vulva or anus to act as a barrier between partners during oral sex.
Although
it’s often marketed as sexual health device for lesbians, it’s a smart
choice for anyone who wants to give safe oral sex to someone with a
vulva. It’s also for partners who want to enjoy oral-anal sex without
the risk of rotavirus, norovirus, and some types of hepatitis.
The
dental dam is essentially an oral sex condom. And unlike most other
forms of birth control, they don’t necessarily have to be purchased in a
store. They can be made from cling wrap or by cutting open an external
condom. Any sort of barrier that stops fluids from crossing over will
work as a dental dam.Visit for more info:
