Oral sex is associated with reduced incidence of recurrent miscarriage[$]
In a matched case control study, 97 women with at least three unexplained consecutive miscarriages prior to the 20th week of gestation with the same partner were included. Cases were younger than 36 years at time of the third miscarriage. The control group included 137 matched women with an uneventful pregnancy. The association between oral sex and recurrent miscarriage was assessed with conditional logistic regression, odds ratios (ORs) were estimated. Missing data were imputed using Imputation by Chained Equations.
In the matched analysis, 41 out of 72 women with recurrent miscarriage had have oral sex, whereas 70 out of 96 matched controls answered positive to this question (56.9% vs. 72.9%, OR 0.50 95%CI 0.25-0.97, p = 0.04). After imputation of missing exposure data (51.7%), the association became weaker (OR 0.67, 95%CI 0.36-1.24, p = 0.21).
[EDIT: The paper is referring to females giving oral sex to males. --fyngyrz]

I would like to believe you. Really I would. I just find it within myself to do so.
Is there any evidence you'd like to publish to back this up? You know, for science, yes, for science

Well...granted we have a sample size of n=2, but we've been running an informal version of this experiment for more than half a decade now. Repeatability counts for something, no?
