I recently dug up a stack of magnets from who-knows-when. It was very difficult to break them apart from each other, but of course, once I did it the first time they separated easily on subsequent efforts.

I've noticed this before with fridge magnets. When you first put a fridge magnet on, you can lift it easily and slide it around. But when it's been there a while, no matter how weak it is, you have to really work to get it to lift off and you can't slide it at all.

Why is this?

Adults aren't protecting themselves from STDs during oral sex.

To be fair, the risk-reward ratio on using barriers during oral is different from the same ratio for penetrative sex.

I talk this through with every new partner and almost always, once it's confirmed that we both get all our tests annually or more often and are prepared to be adult about consequences, I don't use barriers for oral either.
