Eat wasabi peas, and she’ll never give you a BJ again. At least, that’s what she told me (although I’ve been known to sneak them in from time to time). Also, an ex used to force-feed me pineapple juice… apparently that makes the final BJ moment better for her. Tabasco on the genitals is probably a bad route to follow (not speaking from experience, though). ---

Some friends of a cousin’s of mine decided to have have an improvised family planning session while they were waiting for their meat stew to cook. He had chopped piri-piri. :eek: Not good. ---

For some people, a piece of fresh peeled ginger inserted in, say, the anus, gets them horny. For some other people… it just fucking burns! though the burn stops as soon as the ginger is removed. ---

My husband… umm… “played” with me once not remembering several hours earlier he’d been slicing jalapenos. With bare hands. It was not pleasurable. ---

Cutting habenero peppers and digital play are not a good combination. Unless you like your girl cussing at you while she sits in a bowl of milk. ---

In an attempt to provide a serious answer to the OP’s question, I have two words: Wintergreen Altoids. You’re welcome. ---

> [@Duke](#): > > I thought Steak & BJ day was March 14…that wouldn’t be after St. Patrick’s Day. This was a few years ago and if memory serves me correctly, March 20th was a date recognised by some as well. If so, that would explain her comments. [Steak & BJ Day](http://www.pointsincase.com/articles/steak_and_blowjob_day.htm) > [@](#): > > Steak & Blowjob Day was created in 2002 by radio disc jockey Tom Birdsey for the Providence, RI radio station 103.7 FNX. The holiday was originally slated to take place on March 20th, but the date was revised to more directly coincide with Valentine’s Day, and the official date is March 14th. ---

> [@BleizDu](#): > > For some people, a piece of fresh peeled ginger inserted in, say, the anus, gets them horny. > For some other people… it just fucking burns! though the burn stops as soon as the ginger is removed. From what I’ve been told, it just fucking burns for everyone. There are ‘kinda-like-pain-but-not-actually-pain’ things, but it isn’t one of them. Some people just like it. Or want to endure it. Or, more likely, want to be **made** to endure it . . . Regular spicy food would probably burn, especially if oil based. **A LOT**. And would continue to do so for a considerable period of time, which ginger doesn’t. And might cause some actual damage. I’ve accidentally gotten wing sauce and jalapeno juice in my eyes and in cuts, (not at the same time) and if that’s anything to go by, this will not as well as the Altoid option. In short, it doesn’t seem like a good area for experimentation. If you’re looking for that kind of fun, there are lower-risk, higher-reward options available. – I was doing research. For a book. Really. ---

Sigh. “This will not END AS WELL AS the Altoid version.” – Stupid tiny netbook keyboard, which is in no way responsible for my phrase dropping, but is a easy target to blame my mistakes on. ---
