Question:
My girlfriend and I are exploring oral sex, but she and I are very concerned over the possibility of her getting pregnant. The situation that worries us the most is kissing immediately after I 'cum' in her mouth and then after some foreplay going down on her. Can she get pregnant from this, or will the enzymes in our saliva kill or damage my sperm? Is this the same if we 'snowball', i.e., she feeds me my own 'cum'?

You are right to be concerned because there is always a possibility of pregnancy if semen gets into the vagina. Sperm can live 3 to 5 days inside a woman’s body, so I suppose it’s possible for it to still be viable after being in her & your mouth first. Snowballing, passing semen back and forth orally, certainly has risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD), including HIV. Sexual fluids can pass chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea & the HPV virus during oral sex. Oral sex has often –wrongly - been thought of as a safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex for sexual disease prevention.
Since you are being responsible about pregnancy with your girlfriend, you need to consider sexually transmitted disease & infection risks, too. Condoms should be used for fellatio (mouth to penis) & plastic wrap, condoms cut open to be lie flat, or dental dams (latex squares dentists use during dental work) should be used for cunnilingus (mouth to vagina). If you use these barriers you won’t need to worry about pregnancy or STD.
Hope this has been helpful for your girlfriend & you to decide what is best for you both. Contact us again if we can be of help.Reviewed by: Patricia Fawver Ph.D. in Sexology
