The risk is remote but not impossible.

1) It would be best to avoid casual sex encounters.

2) If you really want to take the risk, you can wear gloves and put on condoms.

What are the risks of receiving unprotected oral sex?

With unprotected oral sex, there is a risk of transmission of STDs, particularly for infections like gonorrhoea and herpes simplex virus (HSV). The throat can harbour the bacteria that causes gonorrhoea and this can spread through unprotected oral sex. For HSV infection, the risk of spread is highest if the person has a history of cold sores and has active blisters or ulcers. The risk of spread is significantly less in the absence of active lesions. Viral warts or HPV infection can spread through oral sex too.

How can I treat phimosis in Singapore?

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted behind the head of the penis (glans penis). They have different severity. The most severe kind will be one where the opening of the foreskin is so small that it may even cause problems during urination or cause pain during intercourse. Some may not be mild and can be retracted only when flaccid, but getting tight when erect. This may cause pain during intercourse and may also lead to Paraphimosis which is a medical emergency where the foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis.
