“Why would my throat be itchy if I performed oral sex on my girlfriend and she’s a virgin?”

There is not a lot of information in your question so here are a few thoughts. Usually, if the itchiness and slight soreness goes away after a few minutes then it is not worrisome. However, if the itchiness and soreness is there a lot and gets worse with oral sex or just will not go away, then you would need to make an appointment with your care provider to evaluate the symptoms further.

If you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male use a latex condom on the penis; or if you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used.

If you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female, use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam, or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. (you can purchase latex sheets and dental dams over the internet, just GOOGLE search)

If you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner, and this sex includes oral contact with your partner’s anus (anilingus or rimming), use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam, or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus.

If you choose to share sex toys, such as dildos or vibrators, with your partner, each partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and be sure to clean sex toys between each use.

It really depends on who you ask. Some people think oral sex is more intimate than intercourse because your mouth is in contact with someone’s genitals (penis or vagina). Other people think intercourse (penis-vagina sex) is much more intimate because the guy is penetrating the female’s body. Some people consider intercourse as the only ësex’ because it’s the only sex act that can result in pregnancy. On the other hand, some people ask: Why call it oral sex if you don’t consider it sex?

It’s okay to be confused. This conversation has been going on for decades. Most importantly, make sure you’re comfortable with any sexual activities you’re doing, and call it what you like.
