Is oral sex really sex?
Oral sex can give physical pleasure and orgasms so it’s definitely a sexual behavior. Some people think oral sex is really intimate and means two people are really close to each other. Others, though, see it as less personal than sexual intercourse. Everyone has to decide for themselves what values they place on each sexual behavior. The important thing is to stay true to yourself and resist pressure to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

It would depend on what kind of STD he has, but yes, STDs
can definitely be transferred through unprotected oral sex.
If your partner does have an STD, and you did not use any
kind of latex barrier protection (like a condom or a sheer
glide dam) you should strongly consider going to get tested
as soon as possible. Untreated STDs can lead to greater
health problems down the road. Check out this link to find
a clinic near you: http://www.sexetc.org/page/get_tested/.
