First! This is not an admonishment to those that lick! But, if you lick or slurp then adjust yourself accordingly by taking care of your hygiene: gargle with diluted hydrogen peroxide and use xylitol in place of sugar (kills bacteria associated with cavities, and Streptococcus B through starvation. Strep B is common in diabetics) or, use salt gargle.
Bacterial vaginosis can produce those funky odours in the pussy, or no odour at all.
In a nutshell, the vagina is acid; saliva and sperm are alkaline. The vagina must renew the acid mantle after exposure to alkaline fluids and bacteria that live therein. Changes in body chemistry can interrupt this.
The following are excerpts from medical data showing the relationship between sharing saliva and BV

G. vaginalis was suggested to be an associated factor in carcenogenesis. We have studied 41 breast disease (31 breast cancer and 10 fibrosing adenomatosis) patients for the presence of G. vaginalis by PCR in tumor, blood and saliva. G. vaginalis was detected in 46% of saliva samples, 44% of blood samples, and 56% of tumor; in 85% cases at least one of patient’s samples was found to be G. vaginalis positive. For the first time, a relationship between G. vaginalis and breast disease was shown
Blood and saliva collection from BD group patients was performed in the Institute of Oncology of Moldova 1 – 2 hours before tumor resection, and tissue samples – after tumor resection. In case of the control group, only saliva was collected for the study. All samples were stored and transported at +4°C. Time between sample collection and DNA isolation did not exceed 24 hours.

In a study involving 44 self-reported virginal women, of which 27 provided detailed information regarding sexual practices by a self-administered questionnaire, self-collected tampons were tested for G. vaginalis and A. vaginae through species-specific PCRs [75].
Surprisingly, it was found that G. vaginalis carriage in these virginal women was very strongly associated with oral sex and non-penetrative digito-genital contact [75]. Similarly, Fethers et al very recently documented an association among 17-21-year-old females between noncoital sexual practices (oral sex and non-penetrative digito-genital contact) and the occurrence of BV [76].
Similarly, recurrent vaginal candidiasis has also been associated with a history of recent masturbating with saliva by both the patient as her partner, while this was not explained by oral Candida carriage [70]. Recurrent urinary tract infection has also been associated with frequent masturbation [77].
Observations that support female-to-female transmission (these are excerpts from the transcription)
Women with lesbian orientation or generally women-who-have-sex-with-women (WSW) not only present rather consistently with very high rates of BV, but monogamous lesbian couples also present with almost absolute concordance rates of vaginal microflora characteristics in terms of presence of lactobacilli in general and of hydrogen peroxide-producing lactobacilli (these guys kill pathogens) in particular, in terms of presence of BV -associated organisms [88]. These observations strongly suggest female-to-female between-partner transmission of BV. These observations may indicate strong between partner transmission or may just as well point to the higher occurrence among lesbian women of certain BV-enhancing sexual practices (see below). Indeed, lesbian women have been shown to be generally monogamous, to have low promiscuity and to have an overall low incidence of STDs [89]. Although many lesbian women do have a history of heterosexual contact, this has not been an explanatory factor to the occurrence of BV [89]
Girls and young women who have never engaged in penetrative sexual contact are likely to have practised non-penetrative heterosexual behaviours however, and Tabrizi et al documented that among virginal women G. vaginalis carriage was very strongly associated with oral sex and non-penetrative digito-genital contact [75]. Similarly, Fethers et al very recently documented an association among 17-21-year-old females between noncoital sexual practices (oral sex and non-penetrative digito-genital contact) and the occurrence of BV [76].
Just to sum up here (this is mimi again) : Saliva is not a great first choice lubrication. (Licking fingers before penetrating with digits). Some sps are very selective in allowing digits to men who smoke as the residual product on fingers can produce irritation in the vaginal tract (scrubbing usually helps)
It is interesting that HPV of the throat is strongly co-related to young men and showing a sharp increase (in the thousands) since early 2000s, but there is no serious evidence of this in the lesbian community except for some conjectures not followed up by scientific evidence that seem to be homophobic in nature.
