Oral sex with menthol drop

Alice,

I've been thinking of different things I can do to please my girlfriend when we hook up, and one thing that's come to mind is while administering cunnilingus, maybe I could suck on a menthol cough drop. I think that would feel pretty cool. Is that safe? Is that abnormal?

Dear Tickler,

Sexual experimentation is not abnormal as long as both you and your partner want to experiment with the same things. People commonly use ice (and ice cream) during oral sex, to create that cool sensation. If you do want to give the menthol cough drop a shot, just make sure your girlfriend lets you know if she is experiencing pleasure or discomfort. And beware of that sweet cough-drop stickiness afterwards!
