What's the point of condoms if performers are sucking down cum? Am I missing something here?

As I understand it, there is little risk in sucking down cum unless you have bleeding in your mouth - through cuts, sores or any type of gum disease. It should be noted that crowns can also 'leak,' so those possessing them should be aware that if they've ever observed blood when cleaning around them then drinking cum presents a higher risk than to the 'normal(?)' population.

As far as facials go, getting cum in the eyes is dangerous, however if your skin is unbroken it can't be penetrated by the virus. Again, that's my layman's understanding.

Author, Violet Blue has an excellent chart in her book "The Ultimate Guide to Adult Videos".

I have the same understanding as Hardware. Getting cum in the eye is far more dangerous than swallowing as far as contracting STD's is concerned.

<sigh>
Anything you can catch in your pussy you can catch in your mouth. ANYTHING. HPV, HIV, herpes, etc., etc.,... No, cum in the mouth is not significantly safer than cum in the pussy. Also, while it's nice that you recognize cum in the eyes is dangerous, don't forget that up the nose is just as bad. Mucus membranes are mucus membranes, no matter what part of the body they happen to be.

One more thing... unbroken skin is not a perfect barrier to bacteria or virus'. Cum on the belly/ass/cheeks/back/elbows/whatever is a risky action, too. Less than others, but risky nevertheless. Especially for a virus like herpes.

Thanks for the clarification, Kimi! Looks like Woody was right, break out the Saran Wrap!

Kimberly, if all this is true, and Violet Link is golden, then what's the differnce between condon scenes, and BBBJ's. You can wear a condom. but you are still eating the disease?

That's pretty much what I concluded a long time ago: either STD prevention education is wrong, or condoms in porn is just window dressing to make people feel better. Granted, wearing them offers some level of protection, but if you're going to do a facial or oral pop, then it defeats the purpose.

Short of everyone developing a strong mumification fetish, there's not much that can be done to make hardcore porn safer.

Maybe it's time to start thinking of ways to make it more worth the risk the performers take.

The CDC has a pertinent paper on this topic.

Condoms do offer some protection if you have sex with an HIV+ partner but not enough to be worth it in porn (i.e., if that's the best you can do then porn isn't worth it). This makes sense to me looking at the obit lists from gay porn, which depends on condoms, and straight sex.

In summary, condoms seem to reduce the risk by about 20:1 and a bareback BJ is about twice as risky as condom sex (but still better than twice as safe as condom anal sex).

It may be worth pointing out that most animals are evolved to deal with pathogens entering through the mouth or nose. It's not shocking if they are better able to deal with HIV than other orifices.

First of all, I'm glad to see that someone, in this case Kimi, knows well about STDs transmission risks no matter what activity is done... congrats Kimi
Make it more worth ? How would that be ? I don't think it'll ever be worth the risk, but that's me. Of course, you can offer some kind of compensation but that's about it I think.
