just want to mention, maybe I don't hang around the right people, but in my experience, where oral sex is common, use of rubber barrier methods during oral sex is very uncommon, and yes, you can catch the clap that way. https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/the-clap/
I just don't think "we" are realistically going to convince a lot of people to start using plastic prophylactics in many cases. Of course, I sincerely and oh so genuinely urge you and everyone to.
Thanks for posting this. "Pharyngeal Gonorrhea" is actually where most of these drug resistant strains have been found, at least in the UK (can dredge it up somewhere but I read this recently when this was in the news).
Even during some of the heights of the AIDS epidemic, don't know anyone who used condoms for oral sex (though "don't get semen in your mouth" was actually very common, and that can significantly reduce transmission for both HIV and gonorrhea). TBH, can't think of a better application of "Who wants to chew gum with the wrapper on?". Would much rather limit sexual partners to serial monogamy than get full-body plastic every time I want to be intimate.
"This review of prospective studies published since June 2000 has identified evidence that consistent condom use is associated not only with reduced transmission of HIV and with reduced acquisition of urethral infection among men, but also with reduced acquisition of gonorrhoea by women."
I mean, the answer is a "yes, in theory". True, prophylactic gear has limitations. However, there's also prophylactic planning/techniques, or auxiliary gear that could cover those other things.
All this is rather pointless to point out, since the people with the issues are generally not following basic prophylactic guidelines (or even common sense in many cases). So in reality, the answer is "no", because we some people won't follow preventative programs.
i don't know if TikTok's tech is that good or not, but it seems apparent that silicon valley was unable to compete with it until we got even more-massive direct assistance from Uncle Sam and other government entities.

Just realized there's a new acronym coming, along the lines of LMGTFY: LMCTFY. I'd bet someone will make a Messages plugin that will take the last message from the other party, ask it of ChatGPT, and then spit the response back as a reply, appending "I asked ChatGPT to get this answer, and you can too!".
