Halitosis

[NewFrontier]

Hello everyone:-) I have been enjoying reading this board for a long time and have benefitted greatly from everyone's advice to eachother. Now I need some for myself: (thank you in advance for listening)

Hubby and I have recently met a new couple and are having a great time. We can talk and enjoy eachothers company. Both of us think find the couple very attractive. We have played with them a couple of times. She's hot, He's hot, they're into us....wonderful! I love swinging!! the only thing is the very nice gentleman has a case of serious bad breath. at first i shurgged it off, but now can catch it three feet away, and kissing is well, ugh flamethrow

We both really like them and think we could have a great time for a long time - but there are a couple of other things like a bit more hair than the norm, etc. i feel these are little things -- but I am not comfortable with telling him ouright that he has bad breath. And when we we're all wanting things to progress, (and in the middle of stuff) and the other halves are raring to go and, well, it just kinda turns my stomach.

I certainly don't want to shatter anyone's confidence -- they own mouthwash, and the wife uses it, as do I after oral. So i guess my question is, how do you break something like that to someone?

Passing him some altoid through a kiss? is that lame

OK I am going to reveal my secret to you, but just this once.
My wife and I encountered a similar situation, the husband of her girlfriend, had a bad case of bad breath, great guy but she couldn't get comfortable to close to his breath.
Rather than my wife embarrass him, I told my her I would handle it.
So I told the guy, and I told him in the strictest confidence, all the while lying through my teeth, that when I chew 2 specific flavors of gum (I said spearmint and pepermint trident), my wife will melt in your hands.
He of course thought I was full of crap, so I dared him try it, and lets just say that now this guy will never go near my wife without 2 packs of gum in his pocket, and of course my wife thanked me for this, because she was able to find out what a great lover this guy really is, without staying below the neck.

This is good advice, and I think I will approach the situation in a similar manner. Since we've played already twice, copying your tactic might not work since we know them pretty well. I think I might have some tea with wife one afternoon and speak to her about it.

I just don't him to have "confidence" problems over it -- since he seemed somewhat nervous and intimidated the last time which really slowed his member down , having said that we are experiencing a lot of "firsts" with them - so i know things will change as they become more accustomed to swinging.

Good call, iwantmorefun69.

I would probably go with talking to the lady half of the couple and asking her to talk to him. It's the sort of think a wife can bring up easily without causing too much of an issue.

Hmmmm.............it's happened to me once. My bad breath, that is. Tammy leaned over in the club and said "Brett, here......chew on this gum, your breath stinks" Popped it in and continued on flirting Glad she had my "back"

So Newfrontier, if I were you, I'd keep a pack of that ice gum and offer him one while popping one in your own mouth and say something like "I love a crisp clean mouth when I kiss ......care for one?" No guy would turn you down, girl

Good call, Miss Piggy.

I thought Iwantmorefun's response was inventive, but it doesn't solve the problem of the guy having bad breath. It only solves the problem of HIS wife having to endure the guy's bad breath.

In the natural health community, marketing is specifically targetted to women because WOMEN make the health decisions in the family. In the case of this bad breath, she would make damn sure he did something about it before he went out or she would suffer the social embarrassment along with him.

Hell, I was married for 14 years! I know what my wife had to put up with!

Oh this is a great thread...........I just encountured this same problem last weekend. I just make it a practice to get myself a mint and offer one to everyone - since I enjoy kissing and usually most people take me up on it............

If they don't I at lease will have good enough breath to help mask theirs!

I wonder if a breath mint will help bad breath that you can smell from three feet away. That seems like a medical issue that goes beyond eating an onion for lunch. Just my 22 cents worth

Yes it usually means it is time for a trip to the dentist

Has anyone tried the listerine strips?

Wow, I'm so glad I joined this site. There is so much info here. I would never had thought about someone having bad breath that we're trying to hook up with. Bad breath is a turn off for me. If I smell your breath that's it, it's over I'm learning lots of new things on here.
