STI and pick up
 

I am at the time of my life where I want to play around. However, I am paranoid about STDs. I mean, must I were protection for oral? Can't I get herpes even with a condom? What if condoms break? These questions are holding me back. Any advice?

People advise protection even with oral, I've never worried too much unless my gut tells me she's a skank....

There are other things like genital warts that can be transferred even with a condom and there will always be a risk as even condoms aren't 100% effective.

My advice:
- Wrap it up, even if she says she's on the pill or tries to persuade you. Also make sure you are always packing at least 2
- During foreplay have a good look around for rashes, sores, warts or other peculiarities
- Get checked regularly - I go every 2 months min.
- Don't let your penis persuade you otherwise
