I was at a gay pride festival, where they had the usual safe sex stalls offering condoms, lube, etc. I spotted some dental dams which got me thinking about them.
People are trying to promote them for safe oral sex, both lesbian and hetero. But who uses them, really? How can they not kill the moment for anyone but fetishists? Does the latex offer interesting sensation on the vagina?
I'd never really thought about them before, but I'm sure they're not popular; if you're going down on a girl and produce a sheet of rubber, how would she react?
I'd like to hear opinions, experiences, and ideas. Anyone tried one?

This would put me in a pretty difficult situation, because if a girl produced one I couldn't help thinking of it as cute and innocent, so I'd definitely feel guilty about saying "don't bother" and then walking off.

Of course all this is dependent on how much I like the person. There are some people I would do anything for.

One reader said she uses scissors and a sews a dam into a pair of panties to create a dental dam holder.


No, just no.

This MUST be an American thang...dear God! Flock, TELL me it came from California?!

If you love this planet!?

Give someone a disease & help keep the population down! :D

Especially as Jolly Old has the highest rates of STDs in Western Euroland don't it? Exthellent!

The people at the festival are probably using them for safer rimming in their casual encounters. That's pretty much the modern purpose for the dental dam.

Leave us ask Flock... When was the last time you were tested for STDs? What about the ones (& this always makes every boy & every girl STFU! :D) they don't test for? It's funny...no one will ever talk about that or even ask what those might be?

Scared much? :)

And of course...the proper reaction to that is smile & pretend. It's the only way.

Entirely off topic, but this reminded me that they painted Free Derry Corner pink for a gay pride celebration recently.

Somehow thats just soooo wrong...

I had heard of dental dams, but I've never known anyone who said they used one. Of course, all of the people I've known since I was 17 were married, so that might explain it.:P

I've never heard of anyone using them either. You can stretch them over the whole of somebody's face, though.

... That must come in handy.

... That must come in handy.

...to prevent the spread of dangerous "cooties" whilst kissing?

Spreading it tautly over her mouth and nose prevents the spread of terminal stupidity.

Anyone remember Agent 86?

Plastic lips!

I can't see myself using one. It's a deal breaker. Pussy tastes terrible, but if it's the pussy of someone I care about (ie, girlfriend) it'll taste sweet to me, and I don't want to taste latex for 15 minutes. I can see it being used for rimjobs though, though I'm not much a fan of them at all.

They seem like the most awkard, mood-killing thing I could ever thing of. EVER. Wow. I can see the idea behind it, but I'll personally eat one of those if anyone on here has ever used one.*

*picture/other proof required

my friend got her hood pierced and was told she'd have to use dams for oral for...i forget, several months i think.
now i love oral, but i think i'd forgo it for awhile in place of whipping out little rubber squares to get in the way of all the licking.

Excellent! Spread it! :)

Now how's that for an awesome level in a future Hitman game, eh?
