Cecil’s article on Ear Candling: [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5\_098.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_098.html) The upshot seems to be that Ear Candling is every bit as effective as Homeopathy, Voodoo, and holding your breath while hopping up and down on one leg. ---

My girlfriend (yeah, I have a girlfriend now. Oops, didn’t tell anyone.) has eargasms when I tongue her ears. I dunno if she’s ever gotten it from a Q tip, but she didn’t stop laughing about it for a week when I told her that if her ears were really that sensitive then she must think of Q tips as little cotton tipped dildos. –John ---

I know the feeling well, I have a substantial hearing loss and wear two hearing aids. I have to use a prescribed medication on a Q-tip and swab out my ear canals twice a day. I always thought I was the only one who had experienced the Q-tip tingle. ---

I thought this thread was going to be about cats in heat, my vet told me to use a Q-tip on my cats when they are in the mood. I wasn’t putting it in their ear though. ---

> [@](#): > > This post is like a car wreck–I don’t wanna ask, but I must. WHAT??? Apparently, I have led a very sheltered life. (After the answer, I may be grateful for that!) Cats and rabbits (unspayed females, that is) will go into heat, and go out of heat, then go back into heat unless/until they get spayed or ovulate. However, you can induce the queen or doe to ovulate by using a cotton swab to simulate intercourse. They don’t ovulate unless they’re getting laid, in other words, and they go into heat cycles UNTIL they ovulate. I don’t know about rabbits, but a queen in heat is miserable, and wants companionship. And she makes certain that everyone in the neighborhood knows about her loneliness, too. I really, REALLY hope you don’t want more details than that. ---

I felt very uneasy doing it and am glad no one walked in as I was screwing my cat with a Q-tip. ---

I had a gf who would do her cat with a pencil. When she told me I said “Sure, fine, whatever.” I haven’t seen her since. ---

Okay, I kind of figured it out on my own after I posted. I still think it’s odd but I understand that sometimes you have to do things like that. I’m glad my dog is fixed. ---

After the candling, we wave a chicken above our heads, whilst chanting a variety of…well…chants. For good measure, we tie an onion to the left foot of our neighbour’s cousin’s foot. Works every time. Excuse me…I’ve got to pray to our couch and door mat. ---

The ear is an erogenous zone…who’d of thought? Actually, a pencil…that sounds very cruel…why not just get the animal fixed? ---

Having chosen to be celibate for a variety of reasons, I am **SO** sorry to say that when I clean my ears with a Q-tip, I feel none of these orgasmic feelings. One more example of Murphy’s Law, I guess. Bless all of you who get off when you clean your ears-you lucky stiffs! (pun intended) Scotti ---

I’m glad my dog is fixed. \*\* You don’t have to do it to dogs. Cats and rabbits don’t ovulate unless they get, ummmmmmmmmm, stimulated. And they’ll continue to go through heat cycles until they DO get it. The only reason I’d do it is because I was planning on breeding a cat later (if I ever got such a thing as a purebred cat, most of mine just show up at the doorstep and adopt us). I don’t know if rabbits can be spayed.
