What do you--providers and hobbyists--think about the use of so-called "dental dams"? Have you had any experience with them? If so, what was it like? Is this a coming trend?

that come with a disclaimer on the box that says, "Caution.  Use of this product will not cure paranoia?"

Coming trend? They've been around since the 1980's.  
Had a civie many years ago,  insist on seran wrap as a DATY guard.  

Any experience with them that is. Maybe because I'm not one of the fools who pay good money to suck on plastic.

With apologies to Senator Blutarsky....

....and since they were comfy with my girlie parts unwrapped, I got all snuggly with theirs - plastic free  

A gentleman bought some to our session and we used them. I felt extremely comfortable using them and wish that more guys would opt for covered DATY (problaby not going to happen!) . . .  

Go Down on Me Without One.  I had a client a long time ago that went down on me without it.  This guy called me at least once a week for 6 months after that asking if I had an STD, because he got so scared.  Never again.  Then that whole thing with the actor that got throat cancer from some girl he went down on that had HPV gave me another reason.  I don't like to leave clients worried and paranoid about whether they dodged a bullet or not.  

You just freed up an hour of my time in the future.  

Why wouldn't he just get tested? What a fucking idiot. I'm not even saying he's stupid just for being worried, I'm saying if he was that worried and didn't just go get a test, he's dumb as a post. Actually, I take that back. That was an insult to posts everywhere.

Around...but more widely used or accepted?
 Saran wrap is said to not be appropriate or safe since it is porous.

"Dining" through  a plastic tablecloth!

Like liking a lollipop with the wrapper still on?

I'm surprised. I would think that the clients would be more opposed to using them than would be the providers.
Thanks for your message.

One very vivid image I will always savor is when i was first starting out in this hobby. I was naked on my back with this gorgeous & aggressive woman on top of me. I had laid a dam nearby and handed it to her to use on me.  She looked at it, looked back at me with a sexy leer and tossed the dam to the floor. She proceeded to give me some unencumbered and  magnificent DATY. I get wet just thinking about that session

Maybe the poor sap did have  an STD and wanted to see if he had passed it on to her.  
Some people's reactions to guilt and shame can be very obsessive.

I meant LICKING (not liking) a lollipop with the wrapper still on it.

I use them, but didn't always. I require them now, my sister's a Dr and std and sti rates are on the rise, I see more and more ppl not using protection and in ones personal life I understand but when you are having relations with strangers for a living it pays to be cautious.

Thanks, LeahJames. No one could reasonably disagree with what you write.
Does this mean Dental Dams and Condoms (including only CCBJs) for all oral and genital contacts?
Perhaps so....

Dr.Cres these days I say better safe than sorry. I knew a provider from school YEARS before I got into the hobby who's roommate was also in the hobby, and the roommate found out she had chlamydia but kept allowing clients to perform daty on her kept giving bb services and I am 100% sure she didn't tell her clients. Most ppl don't get tested until they believe they have an STD. She risked the health of her clients and their wives, because ppl will focus more on their pleasure than their health, I feel the need to take extra precautions.

LeahJames,

AA,  

and dumb I used dental dam for daty, I also used a glove & a condom to give a hand job. I worked for several escort agencies, while I was in College.  I do not use them & would not use them now.  They taste gross, and there really is not fun involved. Sharing is caring.  I hope you boys appreciate my candor.

... and your very tasteful response!

QueenBia,

Eating pussy has almost zero std risk except for HPV, and you don't have to worry about that causing problems unless you're a smoker.  Chow down and enjoy!

Aenimalist,

Why don't you just proudly state, "My name is SandpaperSally from Anytown USA and I ONLY provide covered services"

GG,
