Is Oral Sex Allowed While Undergoing Treatment For Cancer?
My male partner ( I am female) is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for a tumor in his neck. Agressive treatment-13 weeks of chemo/7 weeks radiation. Is is ok to have sex orally/genitally with him-or are there underlying issues for me as the female absorbing some of the chemicals involved in chemotherapy?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, with the disease condition of either partner it is better to avoid the oral coitus and even in good health it is risky and non hygienic should always be avoided but great care need to be taken, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
