E.g if you give someone oral sex, and they have herpes etc, well, the outcome doesn't look to friendly. :eek:
(it is actually possible to give someone herpes if you give them oral sex and you have a coldsore due to the virus being herpes simplex or something like that. A very cute doctor told me that once )
:eek:
the education system has come to thsi though? gah, i give up.
Some diseases mainly thought to be sexually transmitted can be caught in other ways:
Hepatitis and HIV - dirty needles
Scabies - contaminated bedlinen
But it's not likely to happen from doorhandles, loo seats, etc. Educate yourself:
