My question was: Is there a possibility that BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) 
can cause an STD if not taken care of for more than a year or six 
months?

Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is an infection in the vagina.  The vagina is a very sensitive area, so any disruption in its balance of bacteria can turn into an icky mess of discharge, pain, or odor.

If you don’t go to a doctor, BV can clear up without treatment, but this is not always the case.  There are many possible complications that can occur if you simply let BV go untreated:

• In pregnant women especially, BV can increase your chances of a preterm delivery, low birth weight baby, etc.

• BV can increase your chances of an infection during a reproductive procedure like a hysterectomy or an abortion.

In terms of BV’s relationship to STDs, that’s a great question to ask.

Here’s what you should know.  If untreated, bacterial vaginosis can:

• Increase your chances of getting HIV from an infected partner.
• Increase your chances of being infected with gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and HPV.

Without treatment, the BV weakens your ability to fight off STD viruses as your body is trying to fight that infection instead.

The best course of action is to get treatment immediately if you suspect you have BV or have had BV.  Your doctor can check to make sure you’re ‘clear’ to go for sex.

Of course, you are using protection, right?  Healthy or not, you need to protect yourself and your partner.

Question: In the near future I plan on giving the guy I am in love with oral  
sex… Is it possible for my jaw to lock up & if so how can I prevent  
it?

How to give a good Blow Job!

Okay, first of all, let’s have a little talk – you did ask your guy if he’s been tested for STDs, right? Yes? Good, let’s move on.

Lockjaw happens when your muscle works harder than it’s used to working and thus it spasms and contracts – ouch. So, the main way to prevent lockjaw is to exercise the muscle often so as to be in ’shape’ for oral sex.

Since your guy probably doesn’t want you practicing oral sex on everyone you know, you need a few other alternative ways to prevent lockjaw from happening.

Start slowly – There’s no need to rush oral sex anyway, but when you start slowly, you can work your muscles in a calm and controlled manner, allowing your muscles to stay loose.

Relax – If you’re tensing your muscles as you go up and down, you will cramp up. Keep breathing and focus on keeping your jaw as relaxed as possible.

Take breaks – Don’t keep your mouth on his rod the whole time. Move up and down and then switch things up. This will keep him excited and you pain free.

Now, if you have a small mouth that’s prone to lockjaw, it might take you a while to ‘teach’ your muscles how to relax, but it can be done.

Just have fun and don’t even think about lockjaw in the first place. Chances are good that if you don’t think about it, you won’t have any troubles with it.
