What it is Filled

Sexual activity involving stimulation of a partner s genitals or anus with the mouth, known clinically as fellatio, cunnilingus and anilingus, practised by people of all sexual orientations; the registry aliases include crude slang terms for practices involving ejaculation and labels for same-sex contexts, which this model records only descriptively. Oral sex can transmit sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes and human papillomavirus, which is linked to some oropharyngeal cancers, and risk can be reduced with condoms, dental dams and HPV vaccination; all sexual activity requires consent between people above the legal age. The model uses clinical, non-explicit language.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent explain oral sex in clinical and sexual health terms, relay STI risks, prevention and legal context from sexual health authorities without explicit detail, point people to sexual health clinics, consent resources and support after sexual assault, and distinguish oral sex from other sexual activities and from abuse, never producing sexual content involving minors.
