There is sufficient risk involved in any form of oral sex that it cannot simply be considered "safe sex" and entered into without precautions. Research publicized by the Centers for Disease Control have shown that HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted from either partner to the other during heterosexual or homosexual oral-genital or oral-anal sexual contact, each of which is a possibility in the 69 position.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

    Use a Dental or Vaginal Dam for Protection When You 69

  1. Step 1

    Buy dental or vaginal dams at any store that sells condoms. A dental or vaginal dam is a rectangular piece of latex intended to provide protection during oral contact with the ****oris, vulva, vagina or anus.

  2. Step 2

    Keep them with you at all times or at any times when you may be giving or receiving oral sex involving the vagina, the ****oris, or the anus.

  3. Step 3

    Use the dental or vaginal dam between the tongue or mouth and the vagina, ****oris or anus.

  4. Step 4

    Prepare for the possibility of having both oral-genital and oral-anal sexual contact in the same lovemaking session by having multiple dental dams ready and available for use so that you can switch dams as you move from one orifice to another.

  5. Use a Condom for Protection When You 69

  6. Step 1

    Keep condoms with you at all times when you may be involved in any form of sexual contact.

  7. Step 2

    Use a condom over the penis when you are giving or receiving oral sexual pleasure in the 69 position in order to protect against STDs including HIV or oral or genital herpes.

  8. Step 3

    Keep a condom handy to use during sexual intercourse if you are beginning with oral pleasure in the 69 position. Although you cannot get pregnant while you are in the 69 position (as long as there are only two of you), oral sex has been known to lead to intercourse and unprotected intercourse has been known to lead to unwanted pregnancies and the transmission of STDs.

Tips & Warnings
  • Both genital herpes and oral herpes can be transmitted during oral sex, but the risk of transmission is reduced dramatically when a dental or vaginal dam is used.
  • Don't use a piece of cellophane or other homemade substitute instead of a real latex dental or vaginal dam. You wouldn't use a plastic baggie or a balloon as a substitute for a condom. Go to the drugstore and get the protection you and your partner deserve.
