Are We Allergic to Each Other?

Dear Betty,

This last weekend, I went to visit my husband (who's in the Navy; we're living apart while he's attending school). After going down on me, he got small bumps around the corners of his mouth. To me, they looked like razor burn, but he said this often happens the first time he goes down on me after a while apart (he also said it happen the very first time he ever went down on me). It seems that it only happens that first time or two, then after that it stops.

Can You Get a UTI Using a Dildo?

Hi Dr Betty!,

Yet another question. Can one contract a UTI by using a dildo for both vaginal and clit stimulation? After doing that (no anal play involved), I got a wicked one that went into my kidney and I'm a little apprehensive about getting off again using that method. (Peeing fire is definitely not fun!)

I know you are not an MD, but thought your priceless experience might be able to shed a little light on things.

Dear M,

Will Using Organic Oil for Lubrication Give Me UTIs?

Dear Dr. Betty,

I'm 59, and I have just started to learn how to have enjoyable sex. I've been plagued all my life with UTIs.

I've been warned to use only water based lubrications or I'll get UTI's, and/or urethritis. When researching G spot orgasms, I read that almond oil is the best lubricant, but again, I have not tried it because of the fear of getting my urethrae clogged, thus getting a UTI.

Can you please explain how these organic oils work with the genitalia and how they will, or will not create a problem.

Dear K,

I've Been Getting a Yeast Infection Before Every Period

Dear Dr. Betty,

So since the beginning of this year, excluding June, I've been getting BV or a yeast infection before every period. And sometimes I get both. I've been seeing my gynecologist about this and we have yet to figure out why this is why this is happening. I'm starting to lose it, I feel like I no longer can understand my vulva. I've been married for the past 4 years and we have done some BDSM and played with other people but we haven't played with anyone else for over 7 months.
