No Sex ‘Til Fresh Breath! [Ask Dr. Miro: What You Didn’t Learn in Health Class]
Dear Dr. Miro,
My boyfriend always wants to have sex right as we wake up but I’m really embarrassed of my morning breath. When I go to brush, he gets annoyed. That’s the main time we have to get it on and I don’t feel sexy so then I’m all pressured. What am I supposed to do?
Sincerely,
Hallie Tosis
Dear HT,
It is pretty difficult to feel sexy when worried about how you are smelling let alone feeling pressured. Here are a few super simple ways to combat Dragon Mouth. One is to leave a small cup of mouthwash on your bedside table before you go to bed. When you start to gain consciousness the next day, swirl that stuff around in your maw and spit back into the cup. A second easy breezy method is to have a tin of Altoids waiting for you upon first morning jab. Another suggestion that does not directly address the Dawn Death Breath is to have your morning intimacy from behind. This provides incredible closeness while avoiding any exchange of oral cavity odors!
Lust & Happiness,
Dr. Miro

Also listerine has “Fresh Strips” that are little sticker-like sheets you put on your tongue and dissolve, and then just wipe your teeth with you tongue, and you’re fresh as a daisy again. If you don’t want to crunch on an altoid first thing in the morning, this is a good alternative.
That’s a fantastic idea. I love those fresh strips.
They also give quite a zing if you plan on going “downtown”! Hello minty fresh morning!
oooohhh.. I hadn’t thought of that! ;-)
I loved the third suggestion the best. Nice (and sexy) solve!
