  1. Gogh Forit from Canada writes: Two thirds of the world is starving but some people think its sexy to stick fruit into their orfices. When viewed in this context, this practice is simply perverse.
  2. A M from Canada writes: Right you are, Gogh Forit. I WAS planning to stick this cucumber up an orifice but now that you have brought these important matters to my attention, I think I will mail it to Ethiopia instead.

    Meanwhile, for the rest of us non-extremists, who aren't indulging in the practice so often that we're depleting the world's food supply, my recommendation would be to put down a dark towel so that you don't stain your sheets. Or do it on the kitchen counter, whatever floats your boat.
  3. Paul Jones from Kitchener, Canada writes: This article amused me greatly. Although I've never used fruit as a 'sex accessory', I can completly understand how it can be used as part of the seduction process. My girlfriend and I often enjoy eating fruit for breakfast - in the nude, and this has almost always lead to sexual play afterwards. I think eating fruit in the nude with your partner is very sensual, though I've never made a conscious connection between fruit and sex before. However, reading this article highlighted (in my own mind) how often we 'get it on' after having a nice fruit salad breakfast.
    As for staining the sheets - if you're getting dirty why worry about HOW dirty? A Steve Allen quote says it all - "Is sex dirty? Only if its done right." Get dirty, get your sheets dirty, clean up afterwards.
  4. Kay Ay from Canada writes: This was hilarious!
    How to keep the sheets clean? Ick.
    If that's the main issue it probably isn't for you (or me).
    I'd would so much rather eat my food then wear it....but I totally agree I cook with an ulterior motive sometimes.
  5. Mr. Coffee from Victoria, Canada writes: Does this mean the Barry White 8-track cassette I still use doesn't get the mojo rising with the wife?

    I can just visualize the hospital emergency ward with some half-dressed fool waiting for a doctor with a cucumber jammed up the hershey highway.
  6. Zoltan Karpathy from Canada writes: TMI! TMI! TMI! TMI! TMI!
  7. Joel Xander from Canada writes: I actually agree with Gogh Forit, and no AM, the issue is not about mailing cucumbers to Africa, but rather about not wasting food, which should be used for feeding bodies, and not wasted on ridiculous fetishes or transformed to feed vehicles. Out of respect for those who lack the basic necessities, we should not waste. Period.

Luke P from Vancouver, Canada writes: Joel Xander from Canada writes: I actually agree with Gogh Forit, and no AM, the issue is not about mailing cucumbers to Africa, but rather about not wasting food, which should be used for feeding bodies, and not wasted on ridiculous fetishes or transformed to feed vehicles.

    I assume that also means you don't shower 7 days a week, or don't wash your car, or don't water your lawn, or don't wash your windows..... If so, I commend you. If not, reexamine your position.

    Besides, it's not like these people are going to the store and buying 42 bananas for sexual release and then tossing them all out.

    Furthermore, far MORE food is being wasted in homes and at restaurants around the Western world. Not only do we eat too much, we throw as much as 25% of it away if we can't eat all the food we've prepared. The odd cucumber here or there is a single water molecule in a very large bucket.
  9. Alistair McLaughlin from Canada writes: I prefer to keep my @$#@$@ and my eating separate. All this food-as-aphrodisiac nonsense that I've seen lately is childish and pathetic. Maybe if you stopped being a vegetable in bed, you wouldn't have to introduce fruit into the equation.
  10. Wandering Willy from Victoria, Canada writes: Most of the food used in sexual play is consumed as part of the eroticism and is not wasted. Consider what is left over as "table scraps" and composte them. And here is a question for some of you that make me laugh. If my wife and I grow our own vegetables and fruit for use in the bedroom would that be acceptable? Seriously....
  11. Lowen Wrainger from Canada writes: Now I know why they had us memorize that Shakespeare stuff in high school ... 'if food be the music of love, play on'.... well, something like that, my memory's fading .........
  12. There's Enough Misery Without Adding More from Baycrest Hill Forest Ridge, Canada writes: Enough cruelty!

    Fruit has rights too -- this sort of treatment is an offence to the inherent dignity of fruit.
  13. Paul Jones from kitchener, Canada writes: "Fruit has rights too -- this sort of treatment is an offence to the inherent dignity of fruit. "

    How do you know fruit isn't turned on by this kind of play too? Hehe...
  14. Luke P from Vancouver, Canada writes: Alistair McLaughlin from Canada writes: All this food-as-aphrodisiac nonsense that I've seen lately is childish and pathetic.

    Lately? It's been around since the dawn of civilization. The Romans, the Egyptians, even the Chinese, all used food as an aphrodisiac.

    If you ask me, you're the one being childish here.
  15. Banofee Pie from Toronto, Canada writes: Some of the negative comments here are hilarious....seriously, do you guys have carrots up your orifices? Food is awesome. Sex is also awesome...if a couple wants to bring them together for a bit of fun, what's the harm?
  16. Kim Philby from Ottawa, Canada writes: Butter. Last Tango In Paris. 'Nuff said.
  17. Kim Philby from Ottawa, Canada writes: If you must indulge, at least be patriotic and use maple syrup.
  18. Rollo Tomasi from Belgium writes: "But," he added, "most people want to know how to do it without staining their sheets."
    ----------------------------

    Cinch, Get a hotel room. The danger in shoving food up orafices is that it often gets stuck and does not eject without a trip to the emergency room.
  19. Anger Equals Danger from Canada writes: one pot of warm melted chocolate
    ten fingers for finger painting
    one bottle of chilled champagne
    two tongues

    trust me, nothing goes to waste . . . .
  20. Sissy Schuss from Canada writes: These people who think that food for sex is a waste probably vote for Jack Layton - they give new meaning to the term: " be earnest"

    honsetly get that cucumber out of your butt.
