Been hobbyist for a few years and love BBBJ more than the next guy. Have been lucky with not catching anything but have been paranoid lately after reading about risks.

I understand there are risks and it's up to me what my risk level is. I just don't really know how much risk it actually is. I know this is private topic, but i wanted to see if anyone would like to reply (anonymously of course) if you have or have not caught anything from BBBJ and how long you've been in the hobby.

and someone always posts a link to the Center for Disease Control which has info on it.

If you do a bit of research on here you will find it.

Executive summary:  There is some risk, but not much.

Yea I've read all the info here. Just looking to see if anyone wanted to admit getting anything or have been doing it for years safely.  

I'm guessing nobody wants to say yes or no.

If you are concerned about BBBJ, find providers that use a cover. Covered blowjobs can be mind blowing if done well by a provider. My methods are not fail safe. I look for providers that appear classy and well groomed. When I meet a provider, I pay heed to her appearance and the freshness of her breath and hair if I get close. When her clothes are off, my nose is in overdrive sensing unpleasant odors. I look for new and old sores near a provider's mouth and privates. Pretty simple minded, unscientific methods, but my reasoning is that as a minimum any provider that does not care about her personal hygiene likely does not care about much else, including risks that she takes when having sex. One that has current or old sores, likely has something that I do not want to have.

I have been engaged in P4P for about 35 years, I love BBJ's and I have never contracted an STD in over 35 years of hobbying, expect for one case of the crabs in the early 80's.

I have enjoyed hundreds, perhaps thousands of BBJ's without adverse effects.

I say, get BBBJ as much as you want and fuck like crazy.

Then once a year, leave the US and go to Cuba, Mexico, Russia, or Germany and get "Ozone RHP" done on your blood for a few consecutive days.

Read it and learn.

If you decide to play as a hobbyist, just get tested regularly, even if you have no symptoms.  That is the most useful advice I can give you.

A lot of people catch NO STD's from doing this, but there is no guarantee that it will not happen to you.  

The only real safe sex is masturbation.

Not exactly....hairy palms are hard to explain away.
