I'd probably be willing to do some oral before marriage, but only if I was sure it wouldn't have...repurcussions. Straight sex is out because my best friend did it and now he's raising a child at seven-teen.
How old are you? That should probably come into consideration, as well. I wouldn't advise it until you're at least 16 or 17.
If you're going out with someone and worried about catching an STD, go to the clinic and get blood tests done on yourselves. If you get a clean bill of health there, you can go to town and not worry about it. It's virtually impossible to contract an STD via oral sex. The infected fluid generally has to come in contact with open blood vessels. That doesn't usually happen during oral sex (unless an awful lot of teeth are involved), so the contraction of STD's in this case is very unlikely, especially compared with vaginal or anal intercourse (the latter which poses a very high risk of transmission).
Basically, unless one of you has an STD (aren't they called STI's now?), one isn't going to spontaneously develop in you to ruin your lives.
If she's on the pill and you're using a condom, it's highly unlikely that pregnancy will actually happen, especially if she's been on the pill for a long time. My GF has been on the pill since she was 15 and I rarely use a condom, only if she fucked up her pill, and we've had no complications. NOT THAT I'M SUGGEESTING IT FOR EVERYTONE!! I'm ready for the eventuality of having a child. If it's sooner or later, it doesn't make a difference to me.
