Not just any mint. Insist on Altoids, the curiously strong mint! And ladies, it works the other way, too!😃 ---

Hmm… good to know. So I guess a blow job after the your partner had a couple of habanero peppers would probably be a bad idea too, eh? 😉 ---

> [@Mr\_Buttons](#): > > Hmm… good to know. > > So I guess a blow job after the your partner had a couple of habanero peppers would probably be a bad idea too, eh? 😉 Learned that the hard way. Only the girlfriend was on the receiving end, and apparently something that is generally moist just spreads around the fun :smack: She was not what you would call happy. ---

I know a guy who was really into spicy foods. He did a challenge to see how many suicide-sauce wings he could eat. Later on, I hear a SCREAM OF PAIN coming from his girlfriend while the two were in their bedroom. Draw your own conclusions. ---

I thought it would be an interesting sensation. At least it is with gum. ---

Yeah, I don’t know why (seemingly) every woman has the impression this is enjoyable. Almost every woman I’ve been with has been all gung-ho to give me an “altoid blow job” - no thanks, that’s a mistake I’m only making once. ---

My husband’s first “real” job as a teenager was at a pizza place, where he chopped jalapenos. He said that he quickly learned the value of washing his hands BEFORE urinating. ---

Almost every woman I’ve been with has been all gung-ho to give me an “altoid blow job” - no thanks, that’s a mistake I’m only making once. What the hell, it’s a thing? Just when you thought the world couldn’t get any more crazy. ---

> [@mr.jp](#): > > What the hell, it’s a thing? Just when you thought the world couldn’t get any more crazy. An intern of ours came back from Vegas with a “menu” from one of the brothels. The Creme de Menthe Blowjob was one of the specialties. And **Lynn?** I also learned a few months ago that I had not sufficiently washed my hands after handling peppers when I went to pee. ---

Seriously? My wife and I occasionally break out the Altoids with the express purpose of using them during oral. We both find it quite a pleasurable sensation. ---

I remember that was mentioned during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Apparently the White House intern recommended it to the President; don’t know if they followed through. Never tried it myself. ---
