Risk of condom treating during oral sex

Unread post by SYZ123 »

Hi! I’m aware you should (unless told otherwise) avoid using teeth as much as possible, but should I worry about maybe accidentally creating a tear (visible or not) in the condom when I perform oral sex? Thanks in advance!

Hi SYZ123,

In theory, your teeth could cause a tear in the condom, although the amount of pressure you'd have to use in order to make one rip is probably more than than you'd want to be putting on a partner's genitals. Too, when a condom breaks, it does so in a big, noticeable way, so if you did tear it during oral sex, you'd know that had happened.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Hi! Can’t micro tears also occur? Ones you can't see?

Nope, condoms don't really get mico-tears. When they tear, it's much more like a rip or an obvious break than a tiny hole.
