(Male) How safe is oral sex?
Hey just out of curiosity, when it comes to oral sex since I am a penis owner. Should I use a condom for oral sex? Just that fact that someone is going down on me.
Also what are the best ways to eat a girl out? Are there any good techniques?
Thanks : )

Hi staplesj_ ,
Since oral sex as a whole category does come with STI risks, you'll want to use either a condom or a dental dam for it, depending on the genitals involved. You can read all about those here: All the Barriers! All the Time!.
When it comes to performing oral sex, the best thing you can do is create a dynamic where you and your partner are really communicative; that way you know what they do, and don't, enjoy. You can also find some more general ideas about how to approach oral sex here: Mouthing Off on Oral Sex

Would using a condom for oral sex make it feel less pleasureable? Or should I try something like bareskin condoms?

Re: (Male) How safe is oral sex?
Using condoms feels different than not using condoms, and the idea we can put that on a more/less continuum of pleasure just doesn't really square with the diversity of our experiences. There certainly are some things that can make it so that it feels less pleasureable for most -- like not using lubricant inside the condom, or using condoms that don't fit right or feel best in a given situation, or having it in your head that condoms limit pleasure -- but that's about it.
It might help to know that people don't often feel it when a condom slides off, so by that token alone, we know plenty of people don't find condoms to be something that makes a huge difference in what they're feeling.
That all said, latex doesn't conduct body heat as well as polyurethane condoms, so those can be a good choice for someone who wants as much sensation as possible.
