Mutual oral sex refers to a sexual activity where two partners perform oral stimulation on each other's genitals simultaneously. This practice can enhance intimacy and pleasure, as both partners are actively engaged in providing and receiving sexual pleasure. It is often considered a form of foreplay or a standalone sexual act. Safety is important during mutual oral sex, as it can carry risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Using barriers, such as dental dams or condoms, can help reduce these risks. Communication between partners about preferences and boundaries is also essential for a positive experience.
