Darling- That would most likely be a NO NO NO! It sounds to me like you have some type of a vaginal infection, most likely a yeast infection. And, you could pass that on to the person who is performing oral sex on you. It's time to go to the doctor and get checked out. Rest assured, yeast infections are one of the most common types of infections females get and they can be fixed very quickly. If something appears to be different with your genitals, it's best to see the doctor right away, because almost NOTHING in the genitals clears up on it's own. It just digs itself in deeper to the body. So call up your friendly gynocologist or call Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN or check them out online at www.ppfa.org. Good Luck and thanks for writing in! Megan Andelloux, B.S
