I Don’t Wash My Beard After Eating, Do I Need To Wash After Eating *That*?
Q: Jeremy had an unusual question for our Dr. Cooper regarding facial hair. He wanted to know, should he wash his face right after going down on his girlfriend and is there a health risk of any kind? Otherwise does he wash it immediately? Or can he wait until the next morning?
A: How clean do you keep your beard in general? Do you wash it after you eat food? After soup? Cheeseburgers? Then it should be no different after you eat…other things. From a hygiene perspective, you don’t have to wash it if you don’t want to, nothing bad is going to happen.
But you should consider it because after sex, beards hold a residue of bodily fluids in a way that smooth skin doesn’t, so beard hygiene is important. And if you guys were using lube or anything other than natural fluids, that will linger there too unless it is well shampooed out. But if you’re not bothered by it and she’s not bothered by it, that’s all that matters.
IT’S A PERSONAL PREFERENCE ABOUT PERSONAL HYGIENE
It’s important to prioritize personal hygiene and consider your own comfort and preferences. If you feel that your beard might have come into contact with bodily fluids during oral sex, you might want to wash it afterward. This can help maintain good hygiene and prevent any potential discomfort.
However, there is no strict rule on this matter, as it ultimately depends on your individual feelings and comfort level. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to communicate openly with your partner about such concerns and make decisions that both of you are comfortable with.
Remember that practicing safe sex and maintaining good personal hygiene are important aspects of sexual health and well-being.
