Everyone knows the importance of practicing safe sex and using protection when having sex with someone new. However, there isn't much debate about the best ways to use protection for oral sex. Did you know that there is protection for this type of sex?

In this article, we talk about the different options that exist as protection for oral sex. We will then discuss their importance and the best ways you can use them to your advantage.

What options are there for oral sex protection?
There are two main protection options for oral sex that work very differently. Depending on the person on whom you will perform oral sex, you will need:

Kondom
Using a condom for blowjobs works in exactly the same way as using a condom for penetrative sex.

Dental Dam
Dental gags are useful for providing a barrier between the person performing oral sex and the recipient's vagina/anus.

Is protection recommended for oral sex?
There is no shortage of conversations about the importance of using protection during sex. But when was the last time you heard someone talk about protection during oral sex? Because of the intimate skin-to-skin contact that occurs during this activity, the risk of spreading the disease is certainly high. That's why most experts recommend some kind of barrier as protection during oral sex.

Fortunately, these days there are so many different easy-to-use protection options available in ready-to-use packages. You can still enjoy oral sex if you use a condom or other type of protection.

How to use protection correctly and still enjoy oral sex
For some people, one of the biggest concerns about condoms or dental braces is reduced sensitivity. They worry that they won't enjoy the experience as much as they would without the barrier, or that using protection will spoil the mood. Here are some helpful tips for using protection correctly.

Take advantage of Lubricant
Lubricant can be very helpful in reducing any friction between the rubber surface of the condom and your partner's skin. Try experimenting with different lubricant options (did you know there are flavored lubricants?!) to reduce friction and increase flow. You can also try adding lubricant between the condom and your partner's penis when giving blowjobs.

Start working
If you only use your mouth during oral sex, then you're not doing it right. Your hands are your best friends here! Use them to take your partner's pleasure to a whole new level. Try wrapping them around the base of your partner's penis or inserting them into her vagina. Additional feelings will only drive them even more crazy and increase the excitement between you.

Try varying the pressure
While the possibility of direct contact is reduced when protection is added, there are still ways to improve the feel. Increase the pressure with your tongue and fingers and drive your partner completely wild.
