Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.

Tonsilolith(stone in the tonsil) usually not related to oral sex. These are clusters of calcified material that accumulated due to repeated attacks of tonsillitis. But keep in mind that male genitalia has more bacteria/virus and can cause sore throat and tonsillitis after performing an act of oral sex.
The white stuff you have seen is nothing but pus and debris from inflamed tonsils.

you don't need to worry regarding this as it can be readily treated with timely intervention.
I suggest you to consult an ENT surgeon and get the following things done:-
Many cases does not require treatment and it goes away by it own.
(1)- Maintain good oral hygiene. Wash your oral cavity before and after having food and sexual act.
(2)- You can manually remove stones by using a tooth pick or a spoon
(3)- A short course of antibiotics may be needed in case of inflammation and swelling.
(4)- Do warm saline gargles or gargling with an antiseptic solution.
(5)- When tonsil stones are exceedingly large and symptomatic you have to remove them surgically.

Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
