How to Use Breath Mints During Sex

Using breath mints during oral sex can really heighten the pleasure experienced by the partner on the receiving end. Altoids, the “Curiously Strong Mints,” are recommended because they contain peppermint oil, which has a high content of menthol, which makes them stronger and more effective.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• A breath mint

1. Just before you are about to perform oral sex, put one Altoid or other mint in your mouth.
2. Suck on and swish the mint around your mouth to distribute the menthol.
3. Begin oral sex, keeping the mint on your cheek.
4. You can also run the mint along the shaft of the penis or the clitoris with your tongue.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to watch your partner for signs of discomfort or pain. The effect of the mints can be too much for some people's enjoyment.
• It’s supposed to tingle but not hurt—menthol is very strong and can actually burn sensitive skin, so be careful when you are directly applying the mint to the vaginal area, clitoris or penis.
