That is a good point Seth, with what does "safe" mean anyhow. There's two legit spins on this. Technically there is even a risk in kissing, and how much riskier this is than the chances of being run over by a truck, I don't know. It's hard to imagine not kissing someone I care about.

On the other hand, you don't have to exchange any fluids or kiss to have sex, even really good sex sometimes. Some people play in completely sealed suits with gas masks. Not me and I'm not making fun of that at all, just saying it's ecstasy for some and you can't be safer than that. Others still like mutual JO, which is as common as apple pie.
