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.

Does frequent sex make the clitoris grow larger over time and if so are there any surgical options to reduce its size if it becomes uncomfortable

No, frequent sex does not typically cause the clitoris to grow larger over time. The clitoris naturally increases in size during sexual arousal and returns to its normal size afterward. Enlarged clitorises, also known as clitoromegaly, can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, or differences in sexual development
