Although people who use toys and foreign objects during masturbation enjoy this situation, foreign objects can carry a great risk. A doctor in England warns people of the dangers of masturbating with ornaments at Christmas time, saying it’s becoming a real trend. The gynecologist, Dr. “Masturbating with Christmas decorations is not recommended,” said Sarah Welsh.
CAN CAUSE PAIN AND TRAUMA
“Christmas decorations may have sharp edges or parts that could break during masturbation, which can cause pain, a risk of trauma, and are generally not suitable for your vagina,” she warned. One needs to be aware that even Christmas confectionery poses a threat “due to hygiene issues, fear of splintering, or the sugar content of products like cane sugar.”
KEEP AWAY FROM THE VAGINA
“Anything with sugar in it, like Christmas candy, should also stay away from the vagina because it disrupts the delicate ecosystem of the vaginal microbiome and can predispose you to vaginal thrush infections.”
ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO MAKE THIS DANGER
Avoiding gratifying yourself with these so-called sex toys may seem simple; however, this unfortunate trend is more widespread than you might think, with a 2013 case study mentioning that people have placed glass ornaments on themselves. Meanwhile, a social media post on a paramedic Facebook group described examples of her improvising with a sugar cane and a tree decoration, along with photos showing graphic X-rays of each. “These X-rays show a candy cane stuck in the rectum and a Christmas tree ball ornament,” he said.
In 2021 alone, there were 13,213 cases of people aged 25 to 64 inserting “decoration items” into their bodies, Jam Press reported. Experts have attributed the use of these festive foreign objects to “autoeroticism,” which Merriam-Webster defines as “sexual satisfaction obtained solely through stimulation of one’s own body”.
THERE IS A CASE OF THE DEODORANT BOTTLE
The danger isn’t just limited to Christmas decorations. Last fall, a Michigan native had six kidney beans stuck in his urethra during a bizarre attempt at sexual gratification known in the medical community as “drilling.” Meanwhile, in September, a 27-year-old man in India had to be hospitalized after allegedly shoving a can of deodorant into his butt and remained there for three weeks before doctors removed the can.
