To be perfectly honest, NOTHING is without its risks, I can only speak for myself but to be fair I was scared shitless until it came to my first proper punt aside from massage parlours, I was questioning myself with a lot “what if” and believe me google and Reddit are NOT your friend here - it’s full of unlikely and most likely untrue scare stories, but like like myself and most others on here just get yourself tested regularly, always use condoms for all kind of insertive and receptive sex (even toys) - OWO can be dicey from what I have read but (touch wood) as yet I’ve never got anything from it. Punting is a minor gamble of sorts, but just play it safe, check yourself out regularly, avoid barebackers, and enjoy yourself !
