The expert explains why oral sex with a smoker is a bad idea
Oral sex, also known as French love, is a prevalent form of sexual activity. As we read on the doz.pl portal, it involves stimulating the partner's intimate areas with the tongue and mouth. It can be a prelude to vaginal penetration or completely replace it. For everyone engaging in oral sex with a smoker, we have bad news: it’s a dangerous idea.
- Oral intercourse when our partner smokes cigarettes can be hazardous for women's intimate areas. Why? Because in the oral cavity of chronic smokers, in the gum pockets, my favourite periopathogens multiply rapidly. In contact with the microenvironment of the woman's intimate areas, they disrupt its protective functions, leading to significant health risks when paired with poor oral hygiene - said expert Oskar Kaczmarek on TikTok.
- Whether it will manifest as intimate discomfort after intercourse depends significantly on individual factors. However, remember that we don’t need to struggle with symptomatic gynecological infections to be almost defenceless against sexually transmitted diseases in such conditions, including chlamydia or trichomoniasis, which, in many cases, occur, beware, asymptomatically - continued Doctor Microbiome.
Oskar Kaczmarek mentioned that if the partner does not intend to quit smoking and also has oral health issues, one should decide to avoid oral sex. He also emphasized that cigarettes significantly affect the quality of sperm in men. In summary, smoking cigarettes is not worth it at all.
