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.

Can I drink milk during my period?

Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.
