FOOD gives many of us the same amount of pleasure as sex -
so there's no surprise that it's often brought into foreplay as randy Brits
combine the two.
And while melted chocolate is a popular choice for couples
looking to spice up the bedroom, one doctor has warned women against putting it
inside their intimate areas.
As kinky couples look for new ways to excite their partner
during foreplay, consultant gynaecologist Dr Shree Datta from MyHealthcare Clinic
has warned against ladies taking a liking for chocolate.
While the expert notes it's safe to use bars of the stuff
externally, even melted down, there are some dangers to look out for when
delving a little deeper.
Most notably, if the chocolate is too hot - it could cause painful
burns to intimate areas.
And if that isn't bad enough, the sweet treat could cause
nasty reactions if it's left on your genitals for too long.
Dr Shree told the Daily Star: "Chocolate is not
dangerous if used in intimate areas externally and not too hot, but it is
important to wash it off fully to minimise the risk of irritation."
While putting chocolate inside your sexual orifices may seem
like fun to some, the gynaecologist warns that it could lead to an infection.
"I would not recommend inserting foods into the vagina
due to the risks," she explained, as the chocolate left behind could act
as a feeding ground for harmful bacteria.
It's not the first time that women have been warned against
inserting edible foreign objects into themselves for sexual pleasure.
Just weeks ago during Britain's summer heatwave, doctors
warned women not to put ice lollies into their vaginas in order to cool down -
as the sugar and additives are breeding grounds for infection.
GP and clinical director Dr Sarah Jarvis explained that the
ice could also 'damage the lining of the vagina'.
She said: "The lining of your vagina is more delicate
still, and ice or ice lollies can definitely damage the lining, leading to pain
and even tearing of the lining."
Similarly, earlier this year, it was revealed that women
were sticking garlic cloves up there in order to treat thrush.
It all came about thanks to an old wives' tale which
detailed putting a clover in your vagina for three days can clear up even the
most stubborn infection.
But in reality, it prompted gynaecologist Dr Jennifer Gunter
to warn that the vagina is the "perfect" environment for botulism
bacteria to grow - which can lead to paralysis and even death.
"My advice?" concluded Dr Shree. "It would be
to avoid any foreign bodies in the vagina for risk of infection."
