A member asked:
Can you get mastitis from your boyfriend sucking on your boobs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
not likely: If the activity is very vigorous and especially if the man's teeth breaks the skin, there is a possibility of infection. If the breast is sore but no skin damage is evident, then the possibility of infection is remote.
