Social media can be a treasure trove of interesting stories and information. It can also be a source of trends – the latest “perfume” trend, vabbing, is one example.

But does this “latest” trend actually work? Or is it just another clever video that’s racked up tons of views and likes by promising stimulating effects? Also, what do health experts think of the practice? Let’s take a deeper look at oral sex.

Vabbing old and new

First of all, the practice of applying vaginal fluid to body parts other than the vagina is not new. It has been around long before these people promoted it…

• 2018 Secret Keepers Club The host talked about a man who used his sweat on the balls as perfume and drove the ladies crazy.
• Sexologist 2019 Shane Budram Tell the world she’s been tongue-tied for over 15 years before dating.
• Recently, TikTockers like Mandy Lee and Jewliah Brought it back and became popular all over the world.

But as I said, the idea is nothing new.

It’s all based on the idea of ​​pheromones. People believe that adding a little body fluid behind the ears, under the armpits, or other places that help spread the scent can trigger a chemical exchange in the human body. Women say they wear the least sexy clothes at the gym and still get a lot of attention. Or that whenever they go on a date after spraying themselves with body fluids, men fall in love with them.

But does it really work? What do health experts say?

The Science Behind Vabbing

OK, you might be a little disappointed here (or not – at least read to the end of this section to draw your own conclusions).

Doctors and other experts are eager to point out that, from a scientific perspective (including extensive pheromone research), oral sex doesn’t actually work — for several reasons.

First, although Many mammals secrete a love scent to attract a mate, and this works because these animals have a sensory organ on the roof of their mouths. We humans don’t have that. We’ve evolved to the point where we don’t have that.

Secondly, doctors also implore the public to leave vaginal fluid in. The main reason is that vaginal fluid (besides being a lubricant) is acidic, so Helps protect the female private parts from infection. In addition, when the body is healthy, fluid No smell at all.

However, feminine fragrance advocate and relationship expert Tracey Cox points out that while there is no scientific basis for applying feminine fragrance behind the ears, There is definitely a placebo effect.

So if you’ve read to this stage in the article, you’re probably still thinking that it’s worth a try if you really want to give it a try.

Taking risks and being sexually assertive can make a “smiley person” more confident and flirtatious. It’s probably what makes them successful in dating and sex. It’s like putting on sexy lingerie. The other person may not know what’s underneath your clothes, but you do. This strength permeates your personality in a good way. After all, confidence is extremely sexy.

Is vabbing dangerous?

In short, yes. If someone wants to adopt this perfume practice, there are a few things that need to be strictly followed to ensure everyone is safe.

• first, Anyone with an STD should not be able to spread the virus in any way. Period.
• Any vaginal fluids need to be kept out of reach of others (hence some people put them in their armpits). This is especially important if you’re going on a date with someone you’ve just met.
• Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before inserting your fingers. Do not allow your fingers to get any dirt or infection.
• If you have washed your hands and are at a gym, wipe down the equipment thoroughly (which people should be doing anyway, gross, in my opinion).
• If any odor or discoloration occurs, do not stop wiping and consult a doctor.

Other things to consider

• The vagina contains microorganisms that can be transferred to other parts of the body and cause infections (an example is a yeast infection).
• Because there have been no long-term studies of the inoculation, health experts still don’t know its long-term effects.
• For those who don’t want to fall into this trend, it’s more important (not to mention beneficial) to practice good hygiene, self-care, and cultivate confidence and self-love.
