I'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?

While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.

I'm getting engaged in three months, and I'm considering doing a premarital check-up before stepping into married life. What exactly does the check-up include, and is there anything specific that my partner and I really should be focusing on? I want to make sure we're starting our life together on the right foot.

Yes go ahead

I'm experiencing this strange feeling in my mouth; it's like the skin is tightening and my tongue feels really sensitive. Could this be some kind of infection from having oral sex, especially if my partner has a UTI or an STD?

The sensation of skin tightening and a sensitive tongue could be due to a variety of causes, including irritation, allergic reactions, or infections. While some STDs can affect the mouth, such as oral herpes or syphilis, a UTI is unlikely to cause these symptoms. Its best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
