Yes, yes it is. Also, you REALLY don't want herpes or gonorrhea of the eye. The herpes is actually not that big of a deal, but gonorrhea... eeeeewwwwww.

However, with the right kind of barrier device...

I'm probably as kinky as the next, but really howinthehell do you get an STD of the eyeball? Eye mean, I occasionally have eyeballed a nice piece of tail, but not like THAT! Way to literal.

Babies get it from infected mothers on their way out.

That was a statement made as a microbiologist working in one of the largest medical microbiology laboratories in the United States. Babies born vaginally to mothers infected with Chlamydia, Gonorrhea or Herpes can get those infections in their eyes on the way out of the birth canal. That is one reason prenatal care is so important, and in my state Gonorrhea and Chlamydia testing of pregnant women is required by law. The rates are higher in areas of depressed socio-economical standing. It's also the reason babies eyes are treated with antibiotic ointment shortly after birth.
