1. which partner is doing the sucking. receptive oral sex is riskier than insertive oral sex.

2. recent dental work, bleeding gums, drinking or use of solutions that alter saliva's natural disease fighting ability (saliva is acidic and changing the ph will alter this natural defense)

3. ejaculation into receptive mouth will increase risk to receptive partner.

4. it is true the risk from HIV from insertive oral sex is VERY, VERY low, but due to above variables still possible.

5. there is a much greater risk of other diseases from unprotected oral sex, notably: chlamydia, gonorrhea, non specific urethritis.

moral of the story, find someone you love and stay only with that person long term.
