Q: Is it bad to put syrup or any type of stuff down there while performing oral sex, either on my boyfriend or on me?
A: Using chocolate syrup, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and other sugary substances to sweeten an oral-sex session is fun and fairly safe, as long as you rinse off afterward, says Ricki Pollycove, a San Francisco-based gynecologist. Why the speedy cleanup? Because men's and women's genitals serve as the home for various microscopic organisms, one of which is yeast. Usually yeast is completely harmless, but give it a ton of sugar to feed on and it will multiply like crazy and cause men's and women's nether regions to itch for days before it dies down. Another way to allay infection is to drink a big glass of water before and after sex, which will flush out the area when you urinate. Take these few precautions and you won't have to scratch food — so to speak — from your sexual repertoire.
