Spring Break
Putting your sex lives in order, one question at a time
Issue date: 2/28/08
So all in all, yes, scissoring can work. And if you two decide to try it, please call it "clam jousting," my favorite slang term of all time. Thanks in advance.
Can you get STIs in your mouth or throat?
For sure.
Let's see: The gonorrhea bacterium can be found in the mouth, throat or eyes. Herpes simplex virus-1 commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips. Chlamydia can be found in the throat. Syphilis sores happen in the mouth and on the lips. And all of them can be transmitted via oral-genital contact of any form.
And now you know why sex is better than blow jobs. After all, a blow job with a condom is just, well, not as good as sex.
My boyfriend wants to give me a facial. I'm pretty grossed out and want to know if it's a normal request that I should seriously consider. I mean, I swallow every time, and I thought that was slutty. How much further do I have to go? I thought facials only happened in hardcore porn?
Facials definitely happen in real life. Good girl for swallowing, at least.
But here's the thing: While the dermatological benefits are up for debate, you really have to consider the downsides. If you remember to close your eyes and keep it out of your hair, it's pretty easy to clean up. It's not that gross either - don't think about what you look like, because he isn't seeing it the way you would be.
It can be argued that it's moderately derogatory, but so are blow jobs. It's just a little bit more visual than swallowing.
If you really would rather not, but you want to humor your boyfriend a bit, you can give him a taste of his own medicine. Let him give you a facial, but do it really badly. Make grossed-out faces, spit some back out at him, shake your head so it gets all over the sheets. Screw it up for him.
However, if you think you'd like to give it a try, let him know that you're uncomfortable. Don't let your hesitancy hold you back though. It's a good excuse to cut loose and let your inner porn star have a little stage time. Just make sure you invest in a couple extra towels, and definitely make sure you close your eyes and clean up before it congeals or dries.
