Hey everyone, So I've been dating this awesome guy for a month or so and we've started exploring anal sex with each other. I've been having some awesome experiences bottoming. Before sex I usually clean out using an anal douche and water at room temperature. This was about 3-4 times a week. Should I be concerned about how much I clean with the douche? My partner says that one of his exes ended up cleaning out too often and had some problems due to lack of healthy bacteria down there. The result of this was an odor. Any and all comments are appreciated! Thank you!
There shouldn't be any issues as long as you are only cleaning the rectum and don't over clean it. If you are still uncertain you can either take probiotic supplements or try to learn your stool cycle and plan your meals around it to keep yourself naturally clean.
