Douching

[planejanesusan]

I was a very promiscuous single swinger who gave it up 21 years ago for marriage and raising children but am anticipating getting back into swinging with my husband along (probably as a non-participating voyeur because of ED problems). I am trying to find out as much as I can about modern swinging so our experiences will be as enjoyable as possible and would appreciate all the help I can get..

In my college days I became extremely addicted to cunnilingus, and I need at least one orgasm that way before I am ready for PIV sex. In those days douching was very popular - in fact, after I became sexually active at sixteen my mom bought me my first syringe and taught me how to mix medically correct solutions - and I always douched before an evening of casual sex. I know douching, or at least frequent douching, is considered unnecessary and potentially harmful, and since I have seen no mention of it in this forum as a preparation for a swinging evening I assume no one here does it these days. Am I correct or is douching still a nice prep for oral sex, especially with someone new?

Susan, as a male poster I would just like to say I find it admirable in a woman who can talk about female personal issues like this.

I can't say I have any comments as a guy on this topic. It will be interesting to see future replies.

For me in regards to the subject, Douching.... I would say to any woman.

Thank you

Well, I guess there will be no more replies - but thank you for yours.

In my wild single days on the evening of a sex party I always douched and wore a dress or skirt with no panties at all so I knew I would be fresh for oral sex encounters, and I know the guys appreciated it, just as I always appreciated a well-circumcised penis (sorry if I offend anyone by that - it's just my preference). I fully intend to do the same when I get into swinging, even if no one else does that.

I don't think its the best idea to disrupt your body by douching.....better to be healthy and clean....In my opnion!

My wife prefers to douche, not all the time however, but she is frequent enough about it that I am aware of it....and I will say, in a way, I am appreciative of it....

Let me say this, Do it, if you are comfortable with it..

We all are in search of people who are hygenic, and cleaning inside as well as out.. well, it just speaks volumes about you, and the respect you show for yourself as well as potential playmates.

Know that there can be such a thing as too much douching tho! The vagina is a wonderful, self cleaning organ and too much douching can rinse away the good "healthy" bacteria that fights off infections and other nasties. How do I know? Because it happened to the Mrs. and the doctor told her to only douche on very rare occasions. While I prefer a clean and pretty smelling pussy I do enjoy the natural scent and taste of a woman when I am down there!

The utimate in hygene is a bidet. A bidet is a spray that cleans the outside of the vagina, anus, or penis and balls. The spray can reach inside, but our bodies are the most effective at interior cleaning.

There is a wonderful toilet seat bidet called the Bio Bidet. I am surprised that more swingers don't have one. Compared to a real bidet it is inexpensive and takes up no room but your toilet seat. It is simply the best quick way to clean all sides of crotches, male or female. We have one and wouldn't be without it.

I have no connection, financial or otherwise with Bio Bidet. It simply is a wonderful accessory.

I've heard as well that douching is not good. I douche, but infrequently; it depends on the situation. I am only with two guys, and for both oral and regular intercourse, my bf likes me "fresh" while my husband doesn't care either way. So the only time I douch is if I have been with hubby and then am going to visit my bf soon after, and then I use a vinegar/water pre-mix. (But usually it is the other way around - I'll see my bf on the way home then have sex with hubby later in the evening, or on weekend mornings I leave hubby sleeping to see my bf, then follow up later with hubby when I get home. If it's an MFM hubby lets bf go first.)


In most circumstances, however, my bf thinks I am fine without douching a couple of hours after sex with hubby and after I have had a shower. If one is up and moving around the vagina is self-cleaning. Our gf never douches, hubby and I think that "the mess down there" is part of the fun.

Definitely a female subject ... I feel odd just commenting, but I've been married 17 years now and I've witnessed and learned a lot, I guess, about female stuff.

My wife douches once a month, right after her monthly period. Plus, I've seen her use "plain yogurt" once or twice during the month. Something about the helpful bacteria in the yogurt helps with avoiding yeast infections. I asked her why she didn't use the flavored yogurts ... I like vanilla & raspberry She laughed and said the only yogurt to use was the plain, that it wasn't meant for eating when used for that purpose. Could have fooled me ... Mac

[wife4females]

as a woman, I would suggest you do what ever makes you feel clean, comfortable and sexy...just as long as it's not harming you or causing other problems...good luck and thanks for sharing

Coincidentally, my wives and I were talking about this recently. Janie douches frequently but Bets doesn't. Since we are married , we are the only ones having sex with each other, so I said that I didn't care if they douched or not. I have tasted both of them, almost daily, for months now, and both pussies taste clean and wonderful, so I don't see the point. But Janie says it makes her feel better/fresher, so I have no issue with her continuing, but I would certainly not want her to do anything dangerous, but she is a big girl and can make her own decision.

I have to go along with the others duching can upset the balance in the vagina. A shaved, waxed or not the sent and taste should not be unpleasent
