I'm curious about whether it's safe for my husband to suck my nipples as much as he does. We've been doing this for years where he enjoys doing it for about 40 minutes every other night, followed by clitoral stimulation and then sex. I came across some information suggesting this might not be safe, and it's got me a bit worried. Can you shed some light on this?

Nipple sucking is generally safe as long as there are no infections, open sores, or excessive force that could cause discomfort or injury. If you experience any pain, irritation, or unusual symptoms, its best to consult a doctor for guidance. Otherwise, it's a normal part of intimacy for many couples.

I'm just wondering how long we should wait to be intimate again after my wife had a cesarean operation and underwent family planning. Could you let us know what's a safe timeframe for recovery before we get together?

After a cesarean section and family planning procedure, it is generally recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in sexual activity. This allows for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing properly.
