Just because it fits, doesn’t mean you should try it. The latest episode of TLC’s Sex Sent Me to the ER details one California couple’s bedroom experiment that was supposed to erupt in pleasure but ended up erupting in a lot of pain for one of the participants. Mainly because Pop Rocks and vaginas do not complement each other.
Hoping for bedroom fireworks, the woman put some of the volatile candy nibs in her vagina before intercourse with her husband. Instead of feeling tingly in her lady parts, she felt a most uncomfortable burning sensation in her genitals, requiring a trip to the emergency room.
Pop Rocks are basically a hot sugar syrup that’s been combined with carbon dioxide gas and cooled to a solid state. Once exposed to moisture, the candy releases the gas, at a rate of about 600 pounds per square inch. Your mouth already knows what it feels like for 600-psi to be released at one time. No judgement here on how people get their rocks off but the thought of that kind of activity in one’s nether regions seems like a bit too much.
We already know how sensitive one’s PH levels are down there and that the introduction of regular food, gels and creams can easily skew PH balance in the wrong direction and lead to yeast infections, UTIs and more. Combined with the sensation of 600-psi of carbon dioxide going off inside one’s vaginal canal? That’s a good reason to place ‘put Pop Rocks in your vagina’ at the very top of your ‘sex experiments to avoid’ list.
