No, it's not possible to get pregnant from oral sex alone. Sperm has to get into the vagina - and eventually up through the cervix into the uterus. But if a couple has vaginal sex while hooking up, the girl could get pregnant. And while getting pregnant isn't a possibility with oral sex, getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) - such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, warts, or HIV - is.

To avoid pregnancy and STDs, always remember to use proper protection anytime sexual contact occurs, including during oral sex. Whenever sex (whether oral or vaginal) is being performed on a guy, a condom should be used.

Latex condoms have been shown to be very effective in helping to prevent STDs - but they're not 100 percent safe. Only complete abstinence is. But if you are going to have oral sex, use a latex condom - or, if you or your partner is allergic to latex, a plastic (polyurethane) condom.

If the taste of latex isn't your thing, there are flavored condoms made specifically for oral sex.
