Man I’m glad I opened this thread! I never knew how much risk I was in.

Let’s see, I’m up to…

Yeah, and if you’re dating a hippy-dippy treehugger, and she wants to dodge off the hiking trail and screw in the woods, be careful what plants you use your hands to push out of the way. Poison oak doesn’t show up for hours, so it can get _everywhere_.

Never had it shed, but if there’s something in the shampoo that’s even slightly irritative to your skin, rubbing it in that thoroughly to a sensitive area won’t work well.

Next time, if you don’t have a rubber or plastic glove handy, stick your non-knife-wielding hand inside a plastic bag and then chop the peppers. Throw it away afterward.

Or maybe invest in a Slap-Chop. Vince says you’re gonna love his nuts, so …

Alton Brown says that bleach causes the pepper oils to form an inert salt which is then easily washed away. I can see that you’re taken care of, but if this happens again you might try a dip in straight bleach followed by a gentle soaping.

I have several unpleasant memories of bad romantic encounters after my sweetie indulged in his chilies.

I can assure you the pain is much the same for girlparts.

This sounds like a good idea when your penis encounters anything or anyone at all unusual.

Do they sell special Penis Bleach? (Band name!)

Gee, and here I thought just taking a swig from the jug was objectionable.

I don’t suppose they take threadspotting nominations for threads with vulgarity in the title? Otherwise, I think we have a champion.

Just remember to wash it off right after and you’ll be fine.

Fail to do so and you won’t be. Soap and shampoos are alkalis, and while they feel nice and silky, they do burn.

I don’t know if this little story will help you, but I will tell it anyway.

A couple, friends of a cousin of mine, were cooking dinner. It fell upon him to chop up some piri-piri. While the stew was cooking they happened to indulge in some improvised family planning activities.

She didn’t like the sensation in her nether regions.
