Truth is despite what the mass media would have you believe HIV transmission, is almost non existant in gay couples who only practice unprotected oral, even when one partner is HIV positive. The HIV Virus is rather weak and saliva has been show to kill it. It also needs a direct path to the bloodstream, which oral generally doesn’t provide.

Assuming you have no open sores in your mouth/on your face oral/facials are not a risky behavior for HIV transmission.

As Julie pointed out you can contract other STDs that way but it is actually a more difficult transmission method. (Thats why most prostitutes will do bare back oral but not bareback sex)

All that said if Cal-OSHA gets their fingers in this direct contact with semen is going to become unlikely, again something that would appeal to both Democrats and Republicans.

The “appearance” of condom use on the part of the industry could be argued to hold the would be legislation at bay, but we will never know if that would have worked or not.

meaning I didn’t give it to you, you earned it 😉

Out of all the things I have done in my 17 years in this biz I think asking you to blog was the best

Thanks BT, you turned me on to a good one.

All I can say for facials is that at least saliva has a lot of bacteria-killing properties. It doesn’t protect the facial skin from herpes, and therefore, herpes outbreaks, but very few diseases are contracted through the mouth. And now, of course, as I type that I remember that a performer friend got gonorrhea in her throat after a scene and nearly suffocated on the way to the hospital. Never mind. 🙁

I love this post. I feel bad, Mike, for posting mine, just now, on top of this one.
