can you possibly get pregnant from oral sex…..
No, it’s not possible to become pregnant from oral sex, whether ejaculate is swallowed or not. But pregnancy can occur if sperm are spilled into the vagina or on the vulva during any kind of sex.
However, unprotected oral sex — on a woman or on a man — puts both partners at risk for a number of sexually transmitted infections, whether they are giving or receiving oral sex. These infections include cytomegalovirus, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, human papilloma virus (HPV), herpes, syphilis, and, rarely, HIV and chlamydia.
For safer oral sex, use a condom to cover the penis, or a Sheer Glyde dam or plastic wrap to cover the vulva or anus.
