I’ve been battling with bv for a while so i use Boric acid suppositories. i inserted one thursday and i know it dissolved by yesterday. Today saturday i had sex with my bf and after we finished i went down on him & his area tasted salty. Maybe i’m paranoid but could it be left over boric acid residue or maybe because we had just finished being physical before.

    funny you bring this up .

    my ex and i might be a chance in future we will get back together.

    ive had bv for 4 years trying everything vitimans antibiotics diet .

    i was bv free for 4 months but its back taking clindamycin cream again day 3 still smell bv .

    i was thinking if i have sex in future ( i haven't had sex since my bv began in 2016 but if i can't get rid of bv i was thinking like you ...taking boric acid on the morning or bv pesserys but then i thought boric acid could have bad affects on their penis

    my advice is if he doesn't complain of pain or irritation then carry on yeah salt smell probably boric acid .

    do you not smell bv during sex using boric acid ?

    I'm at the end of my tether I'm seriously thinking of never having sex again then I'll be ok unpleasant but I'll cope

    37 no kids not much time .all i know is this I'll be embarrassed round people if i dont shower twice daily i feel the bv .

    i could never be round anyone if i hadn't washed twice daily .

    I'd smell bad if i never had showers for few days I'd stink .

      it wasnt a salty smell, it was a taste. But if that was the case, wouldn't i be sick immediatley after?
