Question
I'm an 18 year old male and gay. My boyfriend likes to have oral sex performed on him. However, he's not circumcised and I find it kinda gross to give him a blow job. I've heard it's unsanitary to "do" a guy who's not cut. Is this true?
Answer
First, you really do not have to do anything you find unpleasant. Second, circumcised or not, you should be using a condom to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections (including HIV) that are transmitted through body fluids.
