Not sure what you mean by relatively safe. If that were true there wouldn’t be all the STIs you can get just from oral sex.

I mean think about it. If you eat lettuce you might get sick from one of a few viruses, germs, bacteria. And odds are it’s gone in a couple days and that’s that. Munching the nethers can give you **cancer** or warts or a whole bunch of permanent and semi permanent stuff.

So I wouldn’t say it’s safe at all. But it’s fun so a lot of us aren’t as safe as we could be.
