Dental Dams – Practice Safe Oral Sex
Dental Dams are an effective contraception used to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during oral sex. Using a Dental Dam is important as they act as a barrier between your mouth and your partner during oral stimulation. Their use will help protect you and your partner from the potential transmission of STIs.
What is a Dental Dam?
A Dental Dam is a thin, rectangular piece of latex or polyurethane used as a physical barrier method for performing oral sex and anal sex to prevent the spreading sexually transmitted infections.
Most brands are available in a variety of flavors, so you can choose a flavor that tastes good to you. Personally, I find the banana flavor the most pleasant.
To use, you just place the Dental Dam over your partner’s erogenous zone before engaging in any type of oral anal or oral vaginal sex. We cover use in more detail later in this article.
