(not for the faint of heart) yeast infections.
That's right guys and girls...I got another one. My current partner is the ONLY one I've had this problem with, but he's also the only consistant partner I've had while on the Pill (I had one other, but it was only about 5 encounters in the span of about 10 days).
I talked to my Nurse Practitioner, and sparing the gory details, she suspects it's lack of lubrication due to being on the Pill. Since going off of it isn't really an option...I'm on it for medical reasons, and contraception is just a nice side effect, we need to get a little creative here.
We've used...Eros? I think it's called, for anal play as someone suggested in my Fear of Anal thread (thanks...works great!!!) Anyway, it's one of the silicone based lubricants. But we're wondering, is it safe for vaginal intercourse? Of course there's a chance that I may be allergic to it, but we want to give it a go. The bottle says "for external use only" or some happy crappy, but it's freakin' LUBE for god's sake. What on earth would you need to lubricate externally?
If anyone has tried it, can you advise? And did it work better than say, KY or Astroglide (neither of which has prevented problems for us)?
