You are at risk for many STI’s via fellatio. As a bdsm slave, the risk is most likely increased since you’ll take it down your throat all the way, like it or not. Get the point—we aren’t talking soft and gentle fellatio, and tears at the corner of your mouth likely puts you at increased risk.
Let’s consider risks:
Chlamydia, since it is so common. Men can be reservoirs of Chlamydia with no symptoms at all. Though Chlamydia prefers genitalia, infections can occur within the throat. A condom will likely minimize risk.
HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) or genital warts. These do not need to be visible on the genitals to produce virus and yes, HPV and subsequent warts can and do occur on the lips and within the throat and oral cavity, and the warts do not need to be present for you to become infective to another. There has been an upsurge in throat cancer lately that shows an origin from one of the several virulent strains of HPV. A condom will help, but since active virus shedding can occur on the scrotum or skin away from the penis it will not necessarily prevent infection.
Herpes: HSV1 or HSV2 (oral or genitally sited) no longer stays in its “proper place.” Thus it is common to have genital HSV2 infections orally and visa versa. As with HPV a condom might help but is not absolute protection since sores do not need to be present or on the penis.
Gonorrhea: Most men will realize that they have a problem via symptoms, but not all so gonorrhea can be transmitted orally and can colonize the throat. Proper use of a condom will reduce risk greatly, but condoms do break, especially if you are a slave.
Syphilis: Syphilis is quite happy to infect the throat. But to transmit syphilis the person infected must have a chancre, which is a visible lesion that is never painful, which causes some people to ignore it. The chancre eventually disappears, but the disease does not. The exception to a chancre always being painless is when it occurs within the oral cavity. A condom is likely to reduce risk greatly. And “take things in hand and take a good look, if there is a chancre you will see it.
Hepatitis B: Very high risk and very easy fix, get immunized. And while you’re at it, why not get immunized for Hep A? Though Hep A is transferred mostly by fecal-oral, remember what’s a few inches away from a guys cock? A condom is good protection from Hep B in semen.
Chancroid: A rising star in today’s highly mobile population. Chancroid is transmitted via sores or ulcers near the genitalia, not usually on the penis. Chancroid can be transmitted orally.
Molluscum contagiosum, another rising star. Individual small bumps can occur on thighs, buttocks, and genital/anal areas. It is highly contagious, so much so that if you poke one, and then touch another part of your anatomy you will spread the organism in a process called auto-inoculation. Once a disease of children adults are more likely to transmit it to a partner during sexual activity. A condom probably will be of little help, a-as a small lesion on a thigh that touches part of your face is far outsize the realm of the condom.
HIV: While the “degree” of risk is contested, yes, receptive oral sex can transmit HIV especially if co-factors are involved such as co-infection with Chancre or another STI. The risk is probably far lower than vaginal or anal sex. Proper use of a condom offers a high degree of protection.
I would imagine that you’d prefer no condoms at all so try this: Get Hep A/B inoculated (sometimes public health departments will do it for free). Find a partner that you really enjoy, make sure that neither of you have sex with another partner for about 4 weeks, (infections take time for the person to “become” infective), thus the delay, then get the standard STI testing—if you search, many places will do it for free. Now you’re down to risk for HPV and for HSV, but then these days so is everyone else. You’ll still be at risk for Chancre and Molluscum but they are fairly rare and treatable.
