Spoon of whipped cream and a cherry

It’s a scene that has become famous in hot-and-heavy movie sex.

A large dam

Almost everyone knows that condoms are a quick, easy way to protect both the wearer and their partner during sex. Additionally, most sexually active people are aware that a condom can be placed on a male partner prior to oral sex to, once again, offer protection against STIs (sexually transmitted infections) or STDs. However, what should you do if the male partner wishes to perform oral sex on the female partner, or if the intimacy is to be between two female partners? A great (and often overlooked) resource is the dental dam.
