Somewhere along the line (I think it might have been in response to a post I made in my blog thread, but I can't remember for sure), Magdlyn pointed out that while yes, STIs can be transmitted through oral sex, the odds as compared to transmission through intercourse are relatively negligible. I think we were talking about things other than HSV, though.
In my dynamic, Woody and Highlight are fluid bonded at her request (she has a latex sensitivity, which trumps my "condoms are a bleeping nuisance") and that is exclusive on Woody's side; Highlight is also fluid bonded with Lips, who has no other partners. However, one of the first questions I asked--which I blogged about here, which led to the conversation I mention above--was whether Woody's exclusivity in fluid bonding with Highlight extended to oral sex. He talked with her about it; she is a nurse, so has some knowledge in this area, and they concluded that if he and I do unprotected *oral* sex, it does not violate his agreement with her about exclusive fluid bonding.
Which, when I start getting pissy about not having the option to fluid bond with him, is what I use to chill myself out... saliva is, after all, a fluid.
