  Re: No oral sex during pregnancy? Reply Contact Hi, I think you'd have to ask your dr. about that, maybe he's putting a restriction on you for some reason. This is my 3rd pg and I've never had a problem with oral nor been told not to have it. The one thing that is important during oral sex is to make sure that your SO does not blow into your vagina, it can cuase an air bubble to go inside and block your blood vessel, something like that. So as long as he doesnt do that, it's ok.

Is there an underground society of men who love to do this?! What purpose would it serve? I have lots of things I enjoy in bed, but I cannot for the life of me think how that would add pleasure :-) Any input?

Reply Contact  yeah, oral is fine...true about the blowing air thing...it does seem weird, but has obviously happened or there wouldn't be a warning about it  Maybe some guys are a little less "apt" at oral sex and can have accidents...
