• Oral sex is as common as vaginal sex with 48.7% of respondents reporting having engaged in oral sex at least once in the past month compared to 48.8% for vaginal sex, but those engaging in vaginal sex report having done it more times.
The table indicates that 50.8% of those who had vaginal intercourse said a condom was used the last time, 2.7% of those who had oral sex said a condom was used, and 31.8% of those who had anal sex said a condom was used the last time.
That is, except for those respondents who have had sex with only a single partner and with a partner who has had sex only with the respondent, a large portion of these sexually active respondents are having unprotected sex and are at-risk for a variety of STD’s.

 The Body: What You Should Know about Oral Sex
Like all sexual activity, oral sex carries some risk, particularly when one partner or the other is known to be infected with HIV, when either partner's HIV status is not known, and/or when one or the other partner is not monogamous or injects drugs.
In addition, since most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities.
Because anal and vaginal sex are much riskier and because most individuals who engage in unprotected (i.e., without a condom) oral sex also engage in unprotected anal and/or vaginal sex, the exact proportion of HIV infections attributable to oral sex alone is unknown, but is likely to be very small.

Vaginal sex, they emphasise, remains the principal route of HIV transmission in Africa.

 Sexual Health Groups & Boards: can't get orgasm from vaginal sex
I firmly believe that the ability to have vaginal orgasmic ability is dependent both on strong PC muscle tone and the right balance of neurotransmitters in the brain--moderate serotonin and high dopamine.
I get a similar feeling from vaginal intercourse with no outside stimulation of my clitoris, but I'm not able to have an orgasm during intercourse unless my clitoris is stimulated at the same time my nipples are being stimulated (I have to be on top for this to feasibly occur).
Since you are saying your body's difficulty in having a vaginal orgasm during sex is psychological, that would mean that during masturbation with a dildo that you could easily have vaginal orgasms simply by stimulating your g-spot or your cul de sac, with no clitoral stimulation whatsoever.

When thinking about "safe" sex, it is important to realize that risk from various sexual practices often falls along a continuum, rather than having a clear safe vs. not safe boundary.
Safer sex often involves use of latex condoms, latex dental dams, plastic wrap, latex gloves and finger cots as barriers between the infectious fluids and mucous membranes or open cuts.
The vaginal condom is currently marketed under the name "Reality." This condom is sometimes used by either men or women for anal sex, although it has not been designed for or tested for this usage.

 Heterosexual Genital Sexual Activity Among Adolescent Males: 1988 and 1995
Although the prevalence of vaginal sexual experience is closely monitored at the national level because of its attendant risks of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease (STD) transmission, little attention has been paid to other, nonvaginal sexual activity, even though oral and anal intercourse also expose youth to STDs.
We determined that the 15- and 16-year-old males who said they never had had vaginal sex were more likely to report that they had been masturbated by a girl when the audio computer-assisted self-interviewing method was utilized than when the self-administered paper questionnaire was used.
While rates of vaginal sexual activity in adolescent males (as reported in the paper-and-pencil questionnaires) remained about the same in 1988 and 1995 (60-61%), experience with some nonvaginal sexual activity appears to have risen (Table 3).

Rates of practice often are high: for example, in Zimbabwe, 80 percent of commercial sex workers interviewed, 93 percent of health clinic attendees, and 80 percent of nurses had used a drying agent at least once (Civic 1996).

 [No title]
Like all sexual activity, oral sex carries some risk of infection with a sexually transmitted disease (STD), including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), particularly when one partner or the other is known to be infected, when either partner’s STD/HIV status is unknown, and/or when either partner is not monogamous or injects drugs.
Documented:  Although the risk is many times smaller than anal or vaginal sex, HIV has been transmitted through oral sex, even in cases when partners didn’t ejaculate.
Because anal and vaginal sex are much riskier and because individuals who engage in unprotected oral sex may engage in unprotected anal and/or vaginal sex, the exact proportion of infections attributable to oral sex is unknown, but it is likely to be very small.

 Adolescent Virginity Pledges and Risky Sexual Behaviors
The main problem with this assertion is that their population of pledgers who have engaged in anal but not vaginal sex consists of 21 persons out of a total Add Health sample of 14,116.
The fact that one percent of pledgers are more likely to engage in risky anal sex cannot raise the STD rates of all pledgers as a whole compared to non-pledgers, if the remaining 99 percent of pledgers are less likely to engage in anal sex relative to non-pledgers.
For example, while Bearman found that 1.2 percent of pledgers and 0.7 percent of non-pledgers engaged in anal sex but not vaginal intercourse, we found the comparable figures to be 0.6 percent for pledgers and 0.4 percent for non-pledgers.

This vaginal lubrication is a fluid that coats the inside of the vagina so that when intercourse takes place, everything feels smooth, rather than rough or painful.
Sometimes, a female may be sexually aroused, relaxed, and her partner is sexually stimulating, but she simply does not produce enough vaginal lubrication on her own.
Also, while on the subject of contraception, one of the many reasons a female might be nervous or not relaxed is because she is worrying about an unplanned pregnancy or becoming infected with a sexually transmitted infection.
