I wondered that once, too.

I did that
once, too. I tested it on another part of my body and it was ok. To answer Brooke's question: I found out that the skin on the ball sack is a whole lot thinner and has more vascular and nerve bundles. It didn't burn right away. It was after, when they they got red and the whole bowling bag swoll up to 3 times it's normal size. It was fine the next day and I am glad I didn't do it right before a session.
This is one of the few questions I don't cringe when I see repeated once in awhile; especially since the stats change over time.
To answer the OP's question: The CDC has some good stats.

The deadly ones don't have good stats, but the simpler ones do, such as herpes.

Transmission from an infected male to his female partner is more likely than from an infected female to her male partner. Because of this, genital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of five women aged 14 to 49 years) than in men (about one out of nine men aged 14 to 49 years).

You need to keep in mind something else. Teenagers are the highest risk group. The second highest risk group is sex workers and their clients. Sometimes these two groups overlap.
Knowledge is power and needed for good decision making. Suit up because an STD is not worth the 15 minutes of bliss.
A condom will greatly reduce your risk. But it is not foolproof. Sometimes an STD like herpes is on the outer genitalia an is most contagious during a "shedding" when no visible symptoms are present and may be on the pelvis or taint. It is transmitted skin to skin.
Obviously a BJ is safer with a cover on. There is more risk on a BBBJ. However, the mouth and stomach acids are extremely inhospitable to little critters. However, a bleeding mouth due to poor regular hygiene or an ulcer in the mouth increases the risks. My doctor tells me the incidence of STD's other than herpes through oral sex is pretty low.
Addicts do comprise part of the population and have a higher risk of carrying/transmitting STD's. It is hard to get good intel to avoid them, but it is possible.
Just look at the stats on the CDC website, do the math, then up the stakes because you are playing in a high risk group . Hope that helps.
