Getting gonnorrhea through oral sex to woman
I am a woman. My bi-BF got oral gonorrhea and gave it to me through oral sex. I know this is a very uncommon way to get it. I think it is because he is able to scratch the back of his throat with his tongue. Does that sound right to you? We have both been treated. If he refrains from touching the back of his throat with his tongue, will that eliminate or reduce the chance of him giving it to me again if he catches it again? If so, for how long would he need to refrain? An hour? two? a day? Thanks for your help
Kissing is not a way to get a STD, if it was then most people would have a STD.
I can only suggest that when he is with someone else that he talks about STD's and HIV and inspect genitals before anything sexual and probably use condoms for everything. I know it's not ideal and you lose track of things but better that then bring other STD's home to you.
Can't say him with his tongue would decrease risk.

Yes, I am sure that I got it from him giving me oral. I had not been with anyone else and we were using condoms for intercourse. Also, he did not test positive with the pee test only with the oral swab.
Yes, our relationship is open and he uses condoms for intercourse but NOT for oral. I know it's common to give and receive STIs through oral sex with a guy but like you said it is rare to give an STI through oral sex to a woman. Otherwise it wouldn't just be an STD because you could get it from kissing, right?
That was why I was thinking it had to be because he itches the back of his throat (behind his uvula) with his tongue which could bring the infection to his tongue and then he could spread it. We were hoping that if that was the cause, that if he stopped, it would eliminate much of the risk as oral sex is one of our favorite things to do.

Are you sure you got it from him giving you oral? I have never heard of that happening before. Have not even seen it listed on risk charts.
Anyway I would assume the relationship is open where he is with others? If so then I would worry about more than just gonorrhea.
I would say that yu are a rare case if you got it from him giving you oral and not sure how he would have. If he gets it again you can not have sex for 7 days after medication (including oral).
I would suggest condom use for everything he does outside of the relationship and/or use condoms and dental damps with him also.
