Basically, I would advise against using saran wrap for the stopping of STDs on oral sex for the following reasons: (1) Saran wrap breaks a lot more easily than you may think. If a tooth gets caught on it, it could become easily shredded. (2) It also would be quite problematic if stretched. Basically, depending on the strength and size of a persons tounge, it could easily break right through it. Not being a lesbian (not yet, anyway) and not having much practice performing oral sex on females, however, I'd suggest you get other opinions on this, if not simply experimenting some yourself. --Bill
