Aaron, your girlfriend should err on the side of caution and go see her gynecologist or family practitioner if there was any pain involved or if the problem persists. Without knowing how heavy the blood flow was, all I can do is speculate on the causes...and to be quite honest, there are so many possibilities of the cause of the bleeding, a doctor needs to be seen. Some of the common causes of bleeding during intercourse (other than menstrual flow) can be: trauma to the vaginal area (minor tears due to a rough jab by the penis or not using enough lubricant, tears to the labia, tears to the clitoris); std infections left unchecked (chlamydia is one that can rage through the body without other symptoms and leave the carrier sterile and can often manifest itself by blood flow during sex); if she was due to begin her period within a few days or just ended it, spot bleeding can occur; sometimes the bleeding you think is from the vagina is actually from the urethra instead.

While most women experience bleeding during sex at one time or another in their life, if there is even an inkling of pain involved, a doctor visit is a MUST! If the diagnosis is a tear in the vaginal tissue, antibiotic ointment will most likely by prescribed to prevent infection and speed healing.

Hi Gerald. Most of of porn gals try not to work on our heaviest flow days. When working on a light day, we moisten a sea sponge and insert it in to our vagina and push it up as far as we can. Etiquette dictates that you inform anyone you are working with before you start the scene!

It is safe, barring blood-born diseases such as HIV, to fuck while bleeding. It can be messy...but as long as you test clean for STD's, it is safe to do. I would suggest putting down a dark sheet or towel first. Also, let gravity work for you not against you and let the gal stay on the bottom! It will help lessen the mess that way.

Hi Mario! Has she said or implied anything about an unsavory aroma? Or are you being overly cautious? I am just curious. *giggle*

A slight change in your diet could affect the aroma you're concerned with. Fresh fruits, lots of water, limited caffeine and limited smoking/alcohol consumption will help a lot. Everything you metabolize passes through your skin as fragrance. Keep that in mind the next time you are out guzzling coffee along with that pack of smokes!

A common mistake guys make is spraying their cock and balls with cologne. YUCK! It tastes terrible and makes us gals limit the amount of time those parts are in our mouths! Nice, dry, clean twings and berries are the safest bet!

Hi Dan!

Anal sex, fun as I find it, is *not* enjoyed most when it is spontaneous! It does require some preparation! I generally fast for 24 hours prior, but I know not everyone does...some merely fast for 12 hours, others not at all...I just prefer to err on the side of caution! By limiting my intake of solid foods, and using enemas, I eliminate the poop smell and fecal flecks you are worrying about. More back-door wisdom can be found here. Have fun!

I am not afraid of rimming, provided basic hygiene steps have been taken! As a courtesy, I always ask those I am working with what their "No's" are...some male performers are put off by anything (fingers, tongues, etc) near their assholes...if they are into it and I feel the urge, I will rim an ass! Simple as that! If I smell sweat at all, I just don't go there!

As for the hottest scene I have ever shot...I am not sure! Since I am still shooting scenes, my 'favorite scene' changes frequently! Right now, I would have to say the boy/girl/girl anal scene I just shot this past Monday with Savannah Samson and Alex Gonz for Vivid is one of my hottest.

You're going to need a few supplies gathered up before you get started. Grab some scissors/hair cutting shears; shaving gel (not the foamy stuff you use on your face, get some either formulated for sensitive skin or for women to use on their legs); a brand new razor. Do yourself a favor and don't go for speed by trying to use an electric razor. They have a tendency to allow hair follicles to wrap around their moving parts effectively ripping the individual hairs out by the roots. OUCH!

First things first, trim the bushy parts with the scissors/shears. This will make it easier to shave without clogging up the razor as quickly. Next, you need to wash your package and surrounding area with warm water. Lather up with the shaving gel. Gently pull your cock down and shave the patch directly above it. Next, tug one side then the other to shave the edges. Shaving your genital area is a lot like shaving your face, you want to work against the direction the hair grows; strokes should be down to up (this will give you the closest shave). Now for the scary part! Shaving the actual scrotum! You need to pull your skin on your sack taunt to minimize the chance of nicking yourself. With gentle light strokes, work your way down your ball sack until you have groomed it all. I strongly suggest you not attempt this if your are in a hurry or distracted! Now that you are fuzz-free, you need to rinse off again to avoid itching. I recommend patting dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing dry. There are several lotions on the market (Bikini Zone, for example) made for freshly shaved skin, but a regular hand & body lotion will suffice. Lotion or baby powder the newly bald flesh for extra softness. Now, go stare at yourself in the mirror...you know you wanna! ;)

Oh, before I forget! Tight briefs or tight pants...NOT your friend immediately following a shave. That is begging for ingrown hairs! Let the area breathe a bit in loose boxers or shorts.

Politely! *giggle*

[November 22, 2007] -

Start her out gently, ease her in to the whole foot thing since she has already expressed a hang up over her dogs. Try taking her for a relaxing pedicure. It is hard to resist the feel of a warm, moist tongue on soft feet!

Why is she resistant? Is it a "feet are dirty" thing that the pedicure can resolve for you? Is she overly ticklish? Is she afraid you'll want her to reciprocate and she is not keen on the idea? Find out! Once you know what you need to overcome, it'll be easier to do so! Good luck!

[October 18, 2007] - Vaginitis is a name for swelling, itching, burning or infection in the vagina. Not all types of vaginitis are sexually transmitted. The most common kinds of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast, a fungus. Sometimes trichomoniasis (trich, pronounced "trick") is called vaginitis too. Trichomoniasis is caused by a parasitic protozoa called Trichomonas vaginalis.

Extremely common, almost every woman will get one type of vaginitis or another in her life. Oh joy. I have jokingly said, "Having a pussy is like having a constantly open wound. It takes nothing to get it infected and forever for it to clear up once it is." While that comment has been made in jest, it is somewhat fitting.

The vagina has an extremely delicate pH range (between 3.8-4.5). All vaginas have bacteria in them. "Good" bacteria help keep the vagina a little-bit acidic. This keeps "Bad" bacteria from growing too fast. A healthy vagina makes a mucus-like discharge that may look clear or a little milky, depending on the time of a woman's monthly cycle. When the balance between the "Good" bacteria and the "Bad" bacteria is upset, "Bad" bacteria grow too fast and cause infections. Discharge may have a funny color or a bad smell. Sometimes these "Bad" bacteria and other germs that cause vaginitis can be spread through sex. Other things that can upset the balance of the vagina are:

• antibiotics (medicines)
• pregnancy
• douching
• damp underwear
• tight pants
• poor diet
• vaginal products (sprays, lubricants, birth control devices)

Let's break this down by type of infection:

Basic symptoms of a BV?

• a strong fishy smell, especially after sex
• white or grey discharge
• watery or foamy discharge

Some cases are so mild that women don't know they have it.

Basic symptoms of yeast:

• thick, white "cottage cheese" discharge
• pain, itching, burning, or redness around the vagina
• a smell like baking bread

Basic symptoms of trichomoniasis:

Ok trichomoniasis can affect both guys and gals, symptoms are more common in women (of course, seems to always be the way). Most guys with trichomoniasis do not have any signs or symptoms. However, some may have a temporary irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or a slight burning sensation after peeing or ejaculating. Women, on the other hand, get to deal with one or more of these symptoms:

• discharge that is green, yellow or grey
• a bad smell
• itching in or around the vagina
• pain during sex
• pain when peeing (urinating).

Think you might have vaginitis? Here's the drill for taking care of it:

• Schedule the exam when you're not having your monthly period.
• Don't douche 24 hours before your exam.
• Don't use vaginal sprays 24 hours before your exam.
• If you have sex less than 24 hours before the exam, use condoms.

There are ways to minimize your risk of vaginitis...

• Wash your vaginal area every day. Use mild soap. Rinse well and pat dry.
• Wipe your vagina and anus from front to back.
• Don't douche too often, this can upset the natural balance of the vagina.
• Take antibiotics only when needed. Antibiotics can kill "good" bacteria.
• Limit the number of your sex partners (hahahaha).
• Always use condoms with a new partner or with multiple partners.
• Wear cotton or cotton-lined underpants.
• Don't wear tight pants and don't wear panty hose in hot weather.
• See your health care provider if you have any unusual discharge or smell.

BV and yeast vaginitis are not sexually transmitted, so you need not announce it to the world or frantically try to contact past sexual partners to 'warn' them. Trichomoniasis, however, can be swapped back and forth. Make sure your partner(s) get checked out and treated if needed to keep from constantly re-infecting each other.

[October 16, 2007] - Well, first of all, every woman has a different scent to her. It is just plain chemistry. There are several factors which play a part including her diet, hygiene, genetics and general health. Is this musky smell offensive? Or just different than you are used to? Is this a new thing? Or has her body always smelled this way? Are you concerned than she may have an infection of some sort? Or do you just like a woman with a lighter bouquet?

The best way to approach her is openly and honestly. If she has always emanated this essence... chose a time when you are not being intimate (in order to minimize the confrontational feel of things) to broach the subject. (Any time anything of an even remotely sexual nature in any way other than flattering needs to be handled delicately... to put it mildly!) Gently tell her than while you love her pussy, the muskiness of it can be too intoxicating at times. Maybe suggest that foreplay to the foreplay of fellatio be a bath together or a trip to the hot tub. Clarify for her that you are not questioning her hygiene, but simply wishing to dilute her natural juices. A change in her diet (possibly as simple as drinking more water or fruit juice), may help modify the musky aroma as well.

If, however, this is a new scent, tell her ASAP! She could have vaginitis or the beginnings of a yeast infection!

[October 11, 2007] - While a diet concentrated on certain foods will affect the flavor of a guys juice, it does not actually dictate it. For one thing, everything consumed or imbibed plays a part in making of the final product. Want to nudge your fuck-toy in to making decisions that will minimize the bitter/acrid spunk that we all hate (think:Bitter Beer Face!)? For starters, start living a good, clean life (well, as much as possible in our fast-food society). Smoking (tobacco AND/OR pot), makes for a sour load. Booze can make for caustic cum. Staying hydrated, no... not soda pop... WATER... helps, too. The healthier you are living, the healthier your semen will taste. Foods to avoid? Asparagus, garlic, onions and such... need I even mention the obvious here? If it makes your piss reek, I guarantee it will play a part in seasoning the load! Anything high in alkaline content (fish, red meat, some vegetables... for a more comprehensive list of high alkaline foods, try HERE) make for an harsh tasting mouthful or goo! YUCK! While you cannot refine the taste of your semen to one particular flavor, you can help it be the best it can be!

[October 7, 2007] - Hi Charlie, you were not terribly specific in your question, so I *hope* I cover what you would like to know! Over the years, the great boxer vs. briefs debate has been argued passionately by proponents of both sides. Dr. Kellie Flood-Shaffer, an associate professor and program director for the obstetrics and gynecology department at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, said in the case of general health, a man's underwear choice does not matter. "Boxers and briefs are no different, if a man is healthy. If he isn't, there are certain choices that are better," she said.* If general health is the issue, then the type of hammock you sling your banana in makes no difference. Now, if you are concerned about sperm count, then that is a whole different ball game! The reason your balls are on the outside is simple: they need to be 2-3 degrees cooler than your core temperature. Boxers let the boys dangle in the breeze, helping keep them cooler and therefore, you more fertile. Hot tubs, saunas and the like will lower your sperm count... temporarily. Keep in mind too, sperm take about 10 to 11 weeks to be produced. Deciding to slip into a pair of over-sized boxers for a romantic evening of "knocking her up" just won't cut it! So much for spontaneity, huh? Oh, not to state the obvious but... wearing boxers under tight pants... not gonna help! If you are concerned about sperm count, go get tested before tossing out your underwear! Don't care about sperm count? Want to find some "middle ground"? Consider boxer-briefs. Think: Tighty-Whiteys with boxer legs. They're actually really fucking sexy, IMHO. *Quote obtained from DailyToreador.com

[August 27, 2007] - Oh my! There are *some* things in life that I can suck up... a smelly cootie, I cannot do! A bad aroma could be as simple as poor diet or as gross as: infection, foreign body inside, cum from the last fuck, among other things! I make sure my hygiene is above reproach, that is common courtesy. The best thing to do is halt production, pull the girl aside and ask her if maybe she has a sponge that has been forgotten (sponges are commonly used so we gals can work through Aunt Flo's visit Read More Here), or ask her to douche. Should the douche fail to correct the issue, I would call in the director and the other gal and explain the problem. At that point, ONE of us needs to be replaced. This has only happened one time, and that time it was indeed a sponge. Not one that had been forgotten but one that needed to be changed. After it was replaced, the scene went on as planned and no one watching the finished product would ever be the wiser!

[August 20, 2007] - Mich, thanks for writing. I have tried the waxing method, but found it too painful (despite 3 vicodins and the better half of a bottle of Merlot)! If you're insistent on waxing, go to a professional! The skin around your labia is super delicate and hot wax around your clitoris is a scary thought! Oh, the damage that could be done there! I wrote about a similar topic, HERE. Personally, I am a shaver. I realize that is not the route to a constantly growth-free kitty, but I like the absence of pain that shaving permits. *giggle*

[August 14, 2007] - Let's look at this from the outside... if you were dating someone for a few weeks, things got frisky... some heavy petty, some oral action and so on, THEN you found out there was a potential incurable disease in the mix. How would you feel? Betrayed? Angry? Scared? Probably. Yeah, telling before playing is ALWAYS my advice. As for HOW to tell: do not wait until clothes have hit the floor and the passion is flying! That just sends out a creepy vibe that one may possibly never get over. It is not necessarily "first date" material, but it is also not "we're already in the bedroom" stuff, either! It is something that needs to be approached delicately, but honestly. I would suggest having medical literature and/or pamphlets on hand to allay any fears would be to your advantage. Depending on the level of commitment already achieved, you might consider offering to make an informational appointment for you and your significant other with your medical provider. A chance for the three of you to sit down, voice concerns and get the facts together. By providing all of the data in an environment as low in stress and pressure possible, you are giving your potential partner the respect and tools needed for her to make an educated decision. Do remember a few things... 1) VALTREX is not a replacement for practicing safer sex. If you are taking VALTREX to reduce the risk of spreading herpes to your partner, there are a few important things you need to do: * Do not have sex when you get an outbreak or think you are about to get an outbreak. * Always use a condom when you have sex. * Take VALTREX every day as prescribed. (Further information can be found at Valtrex.com and 2). 99% safe may seem like wonderful odds, but no one wants to be that other 1% Good luck on this one and, truthfully, I admire your integrity!

[August 7, 2007] - Ouchie! Ok, a few things to keep in mind when shaving the cootchie: Shaving is done best with a sharp razor (I know the refills are disgustingly priced, but over-using them is disastrous for the skin), during a warm shower. A hot soak in the bath first helps if the hair is especially thick or coarse. Use scissors to trim the longer portions before shaving, that helps keep the blade on the razor sharper longer and also helps you get the areas you want shaved and not the areas you don't. There are shaving creams made for women, sometimes I use them, sometimes I do not. Shave in the direction of hair growth. This is crucial! Shaving against the grain, so to speak, is one of the leading causes of ingrown hair. After shaving, pat the area dry but do not rub it. I have used one of these for years and love it! This is the best personal shaver I have found! It does not pinch and I have not replaced the blade yet (I have had it and used it regularly since 2003). Good luck & let me know if this helps! :)~

[August 4, 2007] - Yes, it is not too uncommon for us porn sluts to film while on the rag. After all we are on our period 25% of the time, there is a one in four chance! Basically, we use sponges. no, I do not mean that we are constantly wiped down while filming! I mean either natural sea sponges or cosmetic wedge sponges are moistened then we insert them in our vaginas and push them up as far as we can. The crappy part is digging them back OUT after we are done filming!

[August 3, 2007] - Ahhhh! The dreaded "fuck rash"! I have had to deal with this one personally! Here is the thing: once you shave your private areas you need to either shave it consistently or not have sex until it is no longer sharp stubble. (I have been known to jokingly call make talent "Barney Stubble" if they have not been considerate with their shaving rituals) Not too much you can do once you've been rubbed raw, I am afraid! The friction of the tiny barbs being ground in to your soft skin has irritated your dermis until a bumpy rash has resulted. Sucks, huh? Sometimes a light sprinkling of powder can help alleviate some of the discomfort, as can keeping the area dry. On the bright side, you can usually guilt your way in to some KILLER blow jobs! At least you aren't 'industry'...having to shoot a scene while still showing 'battle wounds' from scenes past bites!
