I'm planning to have my first-time intercourse and I'm really anxious about the potential pain. I've heard that lox 2 jelly might help with that, but is it actually safe to use in the vagina for the first time? Would it be effective, or could it cause any problems? I'm looking for some advice on whether it's a good idea to try it out.

Lox 2% jelly, which contains lidocaine, is a local anesthetic commonly used to numb the skin or mucous membranes. While it may reduce discomfort during intercourse, it's important to note that using it in the vaginal area for the first time could cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. Its always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using any topical anesthetics to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your situation.

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.
