Oral sex is a sexual act involving the stimulation of the genitals using the mouth. The term can refer to either cunnilingus or fellatio, and is distinct from anal sex. Oral sex is often considered to be a taboo topic, and there is a great deal of misinformation surrounding it.
One common misconception is that dentists can tell if someone has performed oral sex. This is not true. There is no scientific evidence to support this claim, and it is likely based on an urban legend. However, there are some signs and symptoms that may suggest that someone has performed oral sex, such as redness or swelling of the genitals, or the presence of oral herpes.
