snoopie brought up a good topic about muffing, not to hijack his thread I thought it may be useful to get advise on "safe" muffing. This is not just for punting but for normal sex life as well. Now I love muffing - I just don't do it when punting but would very much like to, I suppose the barrier is that I don't want to catch something (and clingfilm doesn't work for me)

My view is that women prefer clitoral stimulation (comments from ladies welcome) so it is probably best to stick to the clitoris which is easier to clean and less likely, in my view, to have nasties on it than the inside of the pussy. Not being a medical practitioner, it would be really useful to hear what people in the know say about this.

Has there ever been a study on infection rates for muffing? It would be helpful to know how dangerous muffing really is, if at all. I found this site which gives some pretty good info on sex in general but it does not give figures for muffing unfortunately.

I heard that you can't get HIV from kissing, so my guess is that unless you have a sore in your mouth AND there is an open cut on her clit (like you would not notice) the chance of getting HIV from muffing is probably negligible. I have no idea about other diseases and infection cause the one that scares the crap out of me is HIV.

I would be really interested to know your views on muffing- risks and ideas on doing it safely.

Would also like to know. Any experts?

Cling film or glad wrap over the privates is called safe muffing.

it must also look super funny post YouTube video for this

Thanks for that Dental Dam post.

I am not sure clingfilm/ dental dam is for me. It makes me think of a female condom which is about the least attractive thing in the world.

I wonder how effective mouth wash is for killing any potential threats?
