Question
Me and my boyfriend have just started to have oral sex, and after I give him head my stomach feels weird and I find it hard to swallow. Is there something wrong with me? Or could I be getting some kind of disease from him?
Answer
Your body may be telling you it would be better to use a condom! Not using a condom for oral sex means that you could be exposing yourself to many sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. By all means - use a condom - and I bet your symptoms disappear.
Just as a reminder - you do not need to do anything you do not enjoy sexually.
