Answer
Assalamu Alaikum Sister

'Aa'ishah (radiyallaahu anhaa) was one of the wives of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), and it has been narrated on her authority that:

"He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not see this of her and she did not see this of him." (i.e. they did not see each other’s private parts, even though it is permisible).
(Mishkaat, Page 270, Hadith 66, Raddul Muhtaar, Vol. 5, Page 259)

Some say that this hadith is week.I think this hadith is about EXPLORING the vagina etc NOT generally looking at each other.

You should know that even it was NEVER done by Prophet PBUH still it is ALLOWED in Islam, Just like many FOODS that Prophet PBUH didn't eat but permitted his disciple to eat them e.g. Prophet PBUH didn't eat garlic but allowed others to eat this. There were other food like this also, I remember a type of meat was presented to prophet but he didn't eat that but allowed his disciple to eat it.

But keep in mind that even looking at each others private parts is ALLOWED in Islam but oral sex is still PROHIBITED. You can see my answer regarding oral sex in my past answers.

Certain cases of mouth cancer appear to be caused by a virus that can be contracted during oral sex, media reported, quoting a new Swedish study.

People who contract a high-risk variety of the human papilloma virus, HPV, during oral sex are more likely to fall ill with mouth cancer, according to a study conducted at the Malmo University Faculty of Odontology in southern Sweden.

"You should avoid having oral sex," dentist and researcher Kerstin Rosenquist, who headed the study, told Swedish news agency TT.

HPV is a wart virus that causes many cervical cancers, including endometrial cancer (in the uterus).

Comparing 132 patients with mouth cancer with a control group of 320 healthy people, Rosenquist found that 36 percent of the cancer patients were carriers of HPV while only one percent of the control group had the virus.

The main factors that contribute to mouth cancer, most commonly contracted by middle aged and older men, are smoking and drinking alcohol, scientists agree.

"But in recent years the illness has been on the rise among young individuals and we don't know why. But one could speculate that this virus (HPV) is one of the factors," Rosenquist said.

Her findings confirm other international studies in recent years.
