Improve Sex
Question: To add some spice to our marriage this weekend, I brought a bottle of Hershey’s syrup into the bedroom, hoping my husband of 15 years would delight in licking it off me. But before I could make like a sundae, my hubby wondered aloud if the syrup could cause infection if it got inside me. Is chocolate sauce safe in the bedroom, and if not, what lickable food items would you recommend?
Answer: First of all, I must congratulate you on taking the initiative to spice up your marriage with such creativity. However, your husband is right on the mark because chocolate inside the vagina could result in a nasty, itchy, painful infection. Don’t feel too bad though because you can still pour chocolate sauce all over your body and ask your husband to lick it off, but you can’t put it in your vagina. Here are a few facts about what can and cannot be used in that area. Do not insert foodstuffs which contain sugar, alcohol, or anything which contains seeds. The vagina is a dark, moist and warm passage in which yeasts and bacteria can grow. Am I scaring you yet? Even if you wanted to use a banana or a cucumber, a condom should always be used on them as a protection from bacteria. If in doubt leave it out! The vagina is actually the cleanest cavity in the body because it cleans itself and maintains a perfect ph balance. So what can you put inside the vagina that’s safe and feels good apart from your husband's pride and joy? You can insert appropriate sex toys (but keep them clean), and commercial lubricants that state on the label that they are safe for that area. Clean fingers with manicured nails are allowed, and of course an eager tongue.
