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 newly married and have been experiencing a lot of cuts near my vagina during sex. It's really painful and I'm not sure what to do to help these wounds heal. Can you give me some advice on how to treat them?

As a newly married individual experiencing painful cuts near the vagina during sex, prioritize your comfort and health by trying the following: apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing; take warm baths with baking soda or colloidal oatmeal to soothe the area; use a lubricant during sex to reduce friction; practice gentle and gradual intimacy; and consider consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and treatment
