Dear Sasha: I was jerking off an hour or two after eating a peanut butter sandwich. I licked up my cum and found it tasted faintly of peanuts. This may sound silly, but I then became concerned: what if I ate peanuts, and then got a blowjob from someone who was deadly allergic to them? Would they be at risk for being exposed to trace amounts of peanut in my semen? Please put my mind at ease! » Nutty Fag
Dear Nutty Fag,
Here we go again with the unappetizing semen imagery. Online I found no information that suggests that someone with a peanut allergy could suffer a reaction from giving oral sex, and this is after three solid days of e-mails and phone calls. You can imagine what my week's been like, e-mailing peanut allergy Web sites and calling their hotlines, asking nice moms who are just trying to find and provide solutions for their sickly kids if they know about allergic reactions from ingesting semen.
Many sites document reactions from breast milk, but none from cum. Through an Ontario allergy hotline, though, I got a different story. It seems that in rare cases, someone with a severe peanut allergy may go into anaphylaxis from peanut-tainted semen. People who have peanut allergies should have their allergist determine the severity of their sensitivity, and you should be very careful about eating peanut butter sandwiches a few hours before catching a hummer from those who suffer from them.
Dear Sasha: My girlfriend's pussy is a bit smelly. When I go down on her, right off the bat the smell is very strong, even after a shower. I just block it out of my mind because I love eating pussy and I haven't said anything to her about it. I found that if I finger her pussy before eating her, the smell is not as bad. Problem is my fingers for some reason get cold and she doesn't like cold fingers in her pussy. Is there something she or I can do to make the smell not as strong (douche etc.) and is there any kind of lubricant that heats up that I can put on my fingers that is also safe for her pussy? » Cold Hands, Warm Heart
Dear Cold,
Douching, as we should all know now, is not only bad for the vagina, it may actually make it even more pungent (introduce foreign substance to natural environment, natural environment rallies troops to fight, intense combat makes troops all smelly). So what's causing the odour? She may just very well be accustomed to having a yeast infection. Some causes of this might be diet, the Pill, or being run down. If she doesn't complain of any itching and her discharge seems healthy, then maybe she just has a ripe box. Since you can lick it with a fingering, let's move on to the next issue. Naturopathic doctor Michelle Bodner says it may be worth seeing your doctor for a check-up if your hands are continuously cold. "Cold hands can be due to anaemia, or low thyroid function," she says. "Smoking can affect circulation this way, so if he is a smoker this may be the reason."
Yes, there are lubes that have warming properties to them, but you should know the first ingredient in the KY version is propylene glycol, which is used to create smoke effects and is also anti-freeze. Granted, this ingredient is in make-up as well (I'm sure I've eaten enough of it to create fog effects for an entire Kiss tour) and I'm sure it exists in safe amounts in this product, but the other problem is that there is also honey and glycerine in it - bad news for the acidic vagina. Several people who have reviewed KY warming liquid online complain of rashes and yeast infections to both sets of genitals.
"Warming lotions locally irritate the sensitive mucous membranes, which causes more blood to flow to the area," says Dr. Bodner, "It ‘warms' by increasing circulation in the area, not by providing heat, which is why your hands still feel cold when you apply it." See your doc for a check-up, and keep a heating pad or hot water bottle nearby to warm your paws before you put them anywhere sensitive.
