Question
Me and my boyfriend have been having sex for a while, and this never happened before. he performed oral sex on me first. the oral sex was painful but not the regular sex. well, it was painful and when i got home, my left labia minora was swollen and only kept getting worse. few hours later, the swelling went down and i noticed that it was literally torn on the left side. is it serious?
Answer
I am really sorry, for a couple of things. First, if sex hurts, tell your partner to stop. Second, I am unsure why or even how oral sex would cause this much damage, as it should not. Third, torn skin may be infected, please see a doctor or Planned Parenthood to make sure you are OK.
