In regards to what Boomer said.... about the mouth being the place with one of the highest degrees of germs..... this according to one of my friends (who just finished an ob/gyn rotation), is incorrect... the dirtiest place with the most germs on/in a woman's body is inside the woman's va***** (not sure if i'm allowed to use actual word on cerb).... also one should note that saliva can act as a disinfectant is very useful to promote healing in small cuts and scrapes.... also taking into account a recent post about the safety of all sexual activity and std's from the Centre of Disease Control (link provided on thread), kissing is one of the safest options as compared to DATY..... on another note, I can definitely understand service providers would not offer kissing (LFK and DFK).... I agree that it can be more intimate.... I myself that way myself....
