Risks of rimming - when she has no STDs

[Travelin]

I posted this in the STD forum, but a poster there suggested that I post my question here.

I have a question concerning rimming. I'd like to lick my girlfriend's anus (the outside, I wouldn't go in there.. :))

Neither of us have an STD. She is vegetarian, so she does not eat meat or fish. (This may be relevant, since she can't have some infections or parasites that come from bad meat.) I will only do it after she has showered.

I'm wondering if there is any knowledge out there on what my chances are of catching a disease, what those diseases are, and if they are treatable or incurable and how severe they are. Is my risk negligible here? Has anyone ever actually caught a bad infection from rimming, that wasn't a 'normal' STD?


Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks for your reply.

I live in The Netherlands. Our water should be of high quality! I can live with the fact that there are risks, as long as those risks are extremely small...

Anymore input?

Hepatitis, salmonella and shigella  and the parasite giardia and maybe amebic dysentery are still risks. Depends on where you live and your water sanitation.
