Question
How much time do I need to wait to brush my teeth after a blow job? I'm a little worried because I read that it's not a good idea to brush them right after giving a blowjob without a condom. What can I do to clean my mouth?
Answer
So you want to brush your teeth after giving a blowjob. You're not using condoms so I'm assuming you want to get rid of the taste of cum from your mouth. That's understandable.
But you're also worried about increasing your risk of contracting an STI/STD by brushing your teeth. You've obviously read a lot - well done! Your own sexuality is one of many great places worth being knowledgeable about.
It is true that brushing your teeth can potentially increase your risk of contracting an STI. When it comes down to it, the only way to really be safe with blowjobs is to use condoms. But I will acknowledge that in reality, barely anyone uses condoms for oral sex.
The way brushing your teeth can increase your chance of infection is by creating an opening in the skin inside your mouth. If the bristles of your toothbrush cut your gums, for example, or if your bang your brush against your gums and break the skin that way.
Were you then to proceed and finish the blowjob with him coming in your mouth, any disease or infection carried in his cum has a really easy way to enter your bloodstream, through that cut.
Brushing afterwards is less risky, but it's the same idea that you can create an opening for any infection to enter your bloodstream.
It's hard to say how long any infection from his semen would survive in your mouth, but your mouth and especially the back of your throat is especially hospitable to bacteria and virus so it could potentially be a while.
A gentle brushing with a soft bristle toothbrush should be ok, but perhaps just a rinse with mouthwash would be better. I've also heard that drinking something fizzy is a great way to get rid of the taste. Your mouth may not feel clean, but it'll get rid of the cum taste.
