I'm curious about whether it's safe for my husband to suck my nipples as much as he does. We've been doing this for years where he enjoys doing it for about 40 minutes every other night, followed by clitoral stimulation and then sex. I came across some information suggesting this might not be safe, and it's got me a bit worried. Can you shed some light on this?

Nipple sucking is generally safe as long as there are no infections, open sores, or excessive force that could cause discomfort or injury. If you experience any pain, irritation, or unusual symptoms, its best to consult a doctor for guidance. Otherwise, it's a normal part of intimacy for many couples.

I'm experiencing some worrying symptoms with my menstrual cycle. During the time I usually have my period, I'm not getting my normal blood flow. Instead, there's this white waxy discharge, and it's also really itchy around that area. Along with that, I have some abdominal pain and redness. My menstrual cycle seems abnormal, and I'm just not sure what's going on. Could these symptoms be connected, and what might this white waxy discharge indicate?
