Long-term but non-fatal STDs like HSV2 and HPV (5% of which can be precancerous) can be spread through cunnilingus and fellatio, and HPV especially can be very hard to spot. People can not know themselves that they have it, and it can be fairly simply misdiagnosed by doctors. (I know at least one person who was told it wasn't HPV ... until she was told it was.)
I'm fluid-bonded with exactly one partner. In fairness to that partner, I use dental dams or condoms for oral sex with any other partners. It's one thing for me to take responsibility for any STDs I contract. It's another thing entirely to share them with others.
This is the best condom I've found for fellatio -- least latexy tasting, nicest for the blowee: http://store.yahoo.com/safesense-wholesale/insp1000.html http://www.condomsexpress.com/express/condoms/i1223.html
I'm all for other people doing what they want, but I need to protect me and someone else.
