Make Feminine Hygiene a Priority!

I was recently driving around Los Angeles and listening to a sex therapy radio talk show. A woman called in complaining that her husband rarely performs oral sex, yet frequently desires her to perform it for him. She couldn’t understand how things had gotten so one-sided in their marriage bed, and she was demanding change (and prepared to hold out on him until that change took place).
The therapist asked her in response, “Could there be a feminine hygiene issue?”
The caller was dead silent. Finally she asked, “What do you mean?”
The therapist responded, “Do you cleanse your vaginal area properly before expecting your husband to perform oral sex?”
Again, dead silence. She eventually replied, “Well, I take a shower, if that’s what you mean.”
“No, I’m not talking about just a shower. Do you spread the lips of your vagina and use some sort of body wash to get rid of the odor and bacteria naturally present there?” the therapist inquired, leaving no room for misinterpretation.
The caller replied, “I was never told that was necessary, and I heard Dr. Oz say that the vagina is a ‘self-cleaning oven’ on the Oprah Show.”
I thought, Hello?!?!? This woman is expecting her husband to indulge in such an intimate sexual act with his mouth (and nose) when she hasn’t properly cleaned herself?
In all honesty, I wanted to find this gal’s mama, spank her, and ask, “What were you thinking to let your daughter wander into marriage without even a basic understanding of feminine hygiene?!?!?”
And then I thought, “Oh, her poor husband!”
I wanted to scream four simple words loud enough so that she could hear me in Philadelphia all the way from Los Angeles: Summer’s Eve Intimate Cleanser!
In case this is a newsflash to you, let me explain a few things:
- Yes, the vaginal CANAL is a self-cleaning oven, but the “oven door” has to be wiped down regularly! The vaginal lips (the internal and external folds of skin surrounding the vaginal canal) collect sweat and bacteria like any other crack or crevice of your body. Not to get too gross here, but you wouldn’t expect your husband to lick between your toes or under your armpit unless it had been thoroughly washed with soap and water, right? A sexually confident wife should have just as sensitive of standards with her nether region!
- Doctors recommend that women should not douche more than once a month (if at all) because inserting those chemicals inside your vaginal canal washes away all your natural (good) bacteria that fight off infections. But what I’m talking about here isn’t using an internal douche. It’s about simply cleansing in between the folds of skin to eliminate foul odors (and tastes).
- If you desire oral sex from your husband (not all women do, and that’s okay), also realize that in addition to proper cleansing, keeping your pubic hair neatly trimmed would probably make the experience far more pleasurable for him! I can’t imagine anyone enjoying a mouthful of hair.
Okay, enough gross stuff. ’Nuff said. Just keep it clean, Ladies! Keep it clean!
And for anyone who has read this – flabbergasted — and wondered, “Isn’t oral sex sinful?” I’d say show me in the Bible where it’s forbidden! (God didn’t accidentally leave that part out by mistake, I assure you!) Think about it — KY Jelly wasn’t invented until centuries after the Garden of Eden, so I can’t imagine oral sex wasn’t part of God’s perfect design to naturally lubricate that which often needs lubrication for sexual intimacy to take place. In fact, I’ll close by simply quoting Scripture directly:
“I delight to sit in my lover’s shade.
His fruit is sweet to my taste!”
(Song of Solomon 2:3)
(Sounds pretty oral to me, wouldn’t you say?)

I was laughing throughout this post because I’ve read where oral sex is not in God’s plan, but also because God’s Word does not forbid oral sex and the Song of Solomon if FULL of sexual direction!!!!!! Thank you.
I’m a male, and I agree with your point that hygiene around a woman’s genitals is something that would encourage her husband to pleasure her in that area.
Before concluding on the spiritual validity of any sexual act including Oral Sex, one has to understand its place in the Creator’s plan for human sexual expression.
The greatest Light of the Creator in the Universe, is contained within the seed that a Man carries; hence a Man should not spill his seed anywhere except into the body of a Woman. Wastage of a Man’s seed leads to the capture of huge amounts of spiritual energy by negative forces in the Universe, which are popularly known as ‘Demons’. In other words, any means of stimulation to bring forth the forces of Creation in a Man, are acceptable as long as the intention is to share the Lightforce of the Creator, with the Woman, ‘in full’. [This also related to the concept of making love in the dark and in full privacy, so that the energies are not stolen by ‘demonic/negative forces’. From my experience I know that Men who’re fully focussed on providing pleasure to their wives, could care less about their own plysical pleasure, coz the greater sexual fulfillment comes from bringing the wife to climax. Man accepting pleasure in any form is spiritually viable as long as the wife’s pleasure preceedes his own. In accordance with this principle, the Man should always strive to bring his wife to climax before himself.
In the case of a Woman receiving Oral Sex, over the centuries, there have been two schools of Biblical thought on this issue. The first one remained silent on the issue, whereas the second stated that the prayers that emanate from the tongue of a man that engages in provision of Oral Sex, will not be heard by the Creator. This statement stems from the fact that ever since the time of Abraham, Kissing has been held to be the most spiritually pure form of provision of sexual pleasure, as it is an act of giving in its entirety. Whereas, acts like licking, sucking etc., which include the receipt of pleasure as well, were deemed to be of inferior standing in sexual relations. But Biblical mystics and sages have in the past said that ultimately actions are judged not by their form, but by their content. So if the content of Oral Sex is such that the Man gives to the Woman in a truly genuine manner, the content trumps the form. In other words, it all comes down to the conscience of the couple involved and their desire to connect unconditionally with the Creator. Men who are not comfortable providing Oral Sex can always do much better by providing manual stimulation of their wives’ genitals.
