The article discusses the results of a study on dental dams and safer oral sex among Australian women based on the 2004 questionnaire distributed to women attending the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day and lesbian community venues. It was found that 9.7 percent of the respondents had used a dental dam and 2.1 percent had used one often. That there was reportedly little evidence of dental dam use preventing sexually transmissible infections. Gloves and condoms were found to be used by more Australian women than dental dams.
