" Question I like to indulge in oral sex with my wife, but I find the taste (and sometimes the smell) extremely unpleasant.  Her taste is bitter and the bitterness stays with me until the end of our sexual pleasures, at which point I have to excuse myself and brush my teeth, or rinse with mouthwash.  My wife is just post-menopausal is a very clean person especially about her personal hygiene, but she is too embarrassed to go to the surgery to discuss this.  She has had this problem for quite a few years now, but it does mess up our sex life a little. Hope you can advise.   Answer You say &amp;#039;she&amp;#039; has this problem. But has she? Or do you? You see, from what you tell us, it&amp;#039;s not at all clear that there&amp;#039;s anything wrong with your wife. However, if she feels that there is a bad smell, then she really ought to see someone medically qualified. If she is ruling out her GP&amp;#039;s surgery, alternatives would be her local Family Planning Clinic or your local genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic &amp;amp;#8211; or a menopause clinic if there&amp;#039;s one near you. Unfortunately, there are now very few of these. Yours sincerely Dr David Delvin, GP   Other Qs &amp;amp; As Can my medication be passed on to my partner through oral sex?
