Alright gang, let's have a frank discussion about STD's, and other possible nasty-catchies.

I researched the other threads, but there is nothing that addresses this issue in a current, cohesive manner.

Now, I'm not about to give the lesson here, just am asking everyone else to contribute with KNOWN facts only.

It was Ruby in another thread, who mentioned outercourse, which got me to thinking about if/when I engage in sexual pleasures with someone not my steady partner.

What are the immediate dangers?

What, exactly, can a person contract during oral sex, for instance? If the person doesn't cum in your mouth, do the dangers disappear? What if you choose to use an oral shield (and is it worth it)?

Can one contract any illnesses by (in M/f) by having cum squirted on the exterior of your body?

Just exactly what does a rubber NOT protect us from?

Anyone else with experience on performing outersex that can share techniques for those of us voyeuring with a new partner?
