Question:
My Friend of many years enjoys sucking on the crotch of my worn panties. This has been going on for several years and has come to be a routine part of our love-making. Recently I became aware that I am not the only dish on the table which brings me to my question. If a woman has a STD, and my Friend "dines" on her panties, is it possible for him to pass it along to me by kissing or through oral sex?

While I have never heard of a person getting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) from sucking on someone's panties, hypothetically it could happen. While the underwear acts as a barrier, it is a porous one. Depending on how soaked the panties become from a woman's vaginal fluid, hypothetically an STI could be passed along, though highly unlikely. Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network.
