Is it okay if u swallow semen? 

Whether it’s “okay” to swallow semen depends on whether you’re okay with it. There’s nothing unhealthy, wrong, or dirty about swallowing semen, as long as you’re comfortable with it.

It’s not possible to get pregnant from oral sex, whether or not you swallow. (That’s because your mouth isn’t connected to your reproductive organs.) But having unprotected oral sex can put both partners at risk for some STDs, including gonorrhea, hepatitis B, herpes, and human papillomavirus (HPV). For safer oral sex, use a condom or a dental dam.
