well, this morning while completing my heauxmwork (admin), I stumbled upon this tweet (picture below):  

is that providers should insist on throat swabs during their routine std screening.  

I'll always "consider" a provider who offers CBJ rather than BBBJ.  But scheduling is a different story.  I have seen plenty that offer covered vs bare BJ, but the difference lies in the price point.  And no amount of kissing, or other GFE activities is going to make up for that IMHO.  

I don’t mind cbj, but I won’t pay more then 500.00, and I just start paying that, and that was because of my atf she charged 500.00 and she not GFE, it’s crazy because, I use to see you awhile back for 300.00 and she was totally GFE, then I lost track of her, a couple of years later I hooked up with her and she went up on her donations, I assumed she was still GFE especially for 500.00, so I was surprised to find out everything was covered now and no DATY, but her skills was amazing, and that’s when I found out that even the non GFE could be great, so thanks to her I don’t mind cbj, as long as it not more then 500. 00

I love BBBJ, however I will do CBJ for sure. When it's done right, it's done right

Just getting into my car this morning placed me in jeopardy of getting killed or maimed in a car accident. I have learned to live with certain risks. I don't always eat a perfectly nutritious meal. There are trade offs, right?
Oral sex, both giving and receiving, is one of my great pleasures in life and a CBJ is too much akin to kissing your sister. So the obvious answer to your question is no, hell no, I won't consider a CBJ from a provider. There is a certain intimacy that would be lost, and with the ever increasing rising costs of sex workers, the CBJ would be the ultimate deal breaker.  
And while I dont really care about Ter's future decision on scoring re: BJs, I do tend to not get too concerned about predictions from dubious sources about the next horrific sex act that will come down the pike and hurt us all. Maybe its because I was told a bunch of nonsense about HIV back in the day. Remember when Oprah told us in 1987 that 1 in 5 heterosexuals could be dead from AIDS by 1990?  
I am just going to keep living my life the same way. Taking precautions with some things, like getting vaccinated for COVID
for example, but enjoying things too; like BBBJs and good, fatty, cholesterol inducing cheeseburgers. lol

Well said.

I generally only see ladies that are TER 9's and above in appearance.  I would consider it, but the price point would have to be different.  Probably around $200/hr less than what I would pay with BBBJ included.  That $600 lady would now be $400 and that $700 or $800 lady (I associate those price points/expect BBBJ and CIM) would now be $450 and $500.

I would most definitely retire from the hobby. In the civvie world these days, sex is fairly easy to find but takes effort and isn’t so convenient. Getting head the way I like it, however, is not so easy to find in my experience. If I dodge this mutant STI bullet and have to resign myself to never paying for BBBJs again, so be it. I’d rather search for my civvie unicorn than to pay for covered BJs.

I'm that extremely rare man who has never considered a BJ--covered or otherwise--to be a sine qua non for a great session. Seriously. So, having said that, I would be happy to skip a BJ altogether if the only alternative is CBJ. In roughly 50% of my sessions, I don't ask for or receive a BJ anyway.

"CBJ is too much akin to kissing your sister."

Licking, sucking and DTing a covered cock can't be enjoyable for the provider, IMO, I mean she's feeling and tasting rubber.
And if it's not enjoyable, it could be a "let's get it over with situation" or mess with her enthusiasm, which could put a damper on the session!  

I wouldn't want my dick sucked with a condom on for free. I'm sure as hell not looking to pay for it.

Definite pass for me.

Have to say I've wondered that it can't be fun sucking on rubber film. You confirmed my suspicion. I haven't accepted a CBJ in years, partly because I believe it's a turn-off for the lady.

Fuck no. I understand risk. What she wants to do that’s on her. Not paying for covered oral.

and then apply favored lube. At least that's what I've heard. The ones who do it on the regular do it well and probably aren't turned off.

They reek before you can even get them out of the wrapper! Yuck.

I've read some reviews of Skyn condoms that they don't have a strong taste.  I use them and they don't have a strong odor either like some other condoms.

I had no issues with a CBJ.  My dick would get hard looking at the naked lady and it took effort not the finish too soon.l

CBJ 100%

Never… and less likely, are two very different things.

I never said that a civvie wouldn’t be risky, but she would most likely be less risky than a provider. But, getting regularly tested doesn’t prevent anything other than maybe not maintaining the STD longer. It definitely doesn’t prevent catching an STD as your surmised. How exactly does getting regularly tested prevent an STD? What, prevent HIV from turning into AIDS?  If you’re going to try to one-up someone by digging deep for a point to present, think your response all the way through first.

At this point in my life, I will die of old age before any STD can kill me.

a civvie girl, you should  also have the skills to coach her on what techniques to use to deliver the perfect BBBJ.  I've mentored many civvie girls over the years to a skill level equal to most providers.   Most women appreciate learning how to be among the best. It's like planting a tree in the park where many others will sit in the shade after you've moved on.  

At this point in my life, the risk is worth it for BBBJ if the gal is willing.  If not I generally will not book her.  As for regular covered intercourse? Yes that I cover up for with providers.

You're more likely to get something from a "civie" than a provider. At least one that takes precautions. "Civie" girls are more likely to have unprotected sex, go longer without testing, and dip into more undesirable men. Now if you're looking for a ltr, that's different. But the random hookup is more likely to end somewhere bad than a date with a provider.

While I prefer bbbj, it's not a deal breaker if she only does cbj.

Like many on this page I look at various ads and wonder why anyone would meet a provider that advertises that they will have uncovered or “nasty” sex?  I’m clean and want to remain so. I also don’t want to bring anything home to the Mrs for the 2-3 times a year the wife offers. Just my thought on why take a chance.

The problem is, I am much less disappointed when I spend $200 on a local girl and it's a bad experience than when I spend $1200 on a touring pro who claims to be the ultimate and is decidedly average.

*in my playfully cheeky tone* I’m not quite sure why what I will or won’t offer would be of any concern to those who have no intention of meeting me darlin’. 😉😜

Finally! See, you can do a good post when you want to!

That must make your wife the most expensive pussy you've ever had.  How much money would you save if you were single?  Lol

I provide condoms for blow jobs & Etc. But I don't insist on the usage of a condom (Just cause I don't want to loose customers).

Do you mine performing a bj with a condom?

...and completely irrelevant to me, of course. But between all of the risks of putting your mouth on any type of naked genitalia it will be interesting to see if there will be any impact in this industry.

Hence the old saying: If it flies, floats or fucks, RENT IT.

I am in the medical field and am fully aware of the risks. Unfortunately not everyone gets tested regularly or practice safe when it comes to this.

I wouldn't want dental dam on my vag for DATY, so I assume the same for CBJ its a risk I am willing to take. We all take risks, and some symptoms are easy to spot if your aware. Being selective helps. To each their own. I gargle with hydrogen peroxide.

BBBJ all the way.  I've always wanted BBBJ, always will.
