In the Great One’s article, “Is it true what they say about Gerbils”, URL: [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2\_216b.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_216b.html) the question was answered concerning gay men getting gerbils and other items stuck up in their anal canals. But what about women? A good friend of mine, who is also a Paramedic and EMT instructor, informed me of several women he has treated with a variety of items stuck helplessly up in there own little “tunnels of love.” One case allowed it a hotdog to rot and fester for several weeks before finally becoming concerned with the pain, pus, and of course, the smell. What more information can the Great One provide, and of course, please all of you teeming millions out there, too. ---

Here’s the Snopes take on the [Hot Dog Lover](http://www.snopes2.com/college/sex/hotdog.htm). If you search around Snopes, you’ll find even more disgusting tales of female sexual behavior. ---

“Hot dog” fails the common sense test. I don’t think a hot dog would be strong enough for the job. ---

Except for the fact, bup, that Snopes mentions how the tale is sometimes told involving a _frozen_ hotdog. ---

Did your tongue get stuck? The popsicle, and the hot dog, will warm and melt under ordinary human contact. The surface temperature of metal takes much longer to warm up. Not that I’m saying it sounds like a good idea, but a frozen hot dog wouldn’t present _that_ particular problem. ---

As a matter of fact, yes, one time when I was 9 or 10 years old my tongue **DID** get stuck to a particularly cold popsickle. In retrospect, I realize that I could have just waited for the popsickle to melt or pour warm water over it or something, but at the time I didn’t think of either of these possibilities. So, I just **rrrrripped** the popsickle off the top of my tongue. There was an extremely thin and sparse layer of tongue-flesh stuck to the top of the popsickle afterward, and my tongue was bleeding. Fortunately, the human tongue heals fast. :eek: ---

Yes, but when was the last time you had a chunk of ice stuck up against your guided missile of love, and I am talking about the heat seeking tip? So what makes you think that a woman would enjoy a frozen hotdog up her love tunnel? I could understand her desire for a cucumber. I once met this girl who was still learning the fine art of oral love, she practiced with a carrot. So why can’t women practice something else with something else? Just a thought. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arnold Winkelried \* > \*\*please look up TMI in a list of internet acronyms. \*\* I had to look at four different ones (granted, one of them was lame) to finally find it. [The Acronym Server: find and submit acronyms and meanings](http://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/acronym?tmi) Now I just have to figure out what Three Mile Island has to do with this subject. 😉 ---

A \* frozen\* hotdog? Yikes! In my mispent youth, I once tried a carrot right out of the fridge to avail myself, and, b’lieve me, the chill was pretty damn uncomfortable. Took a couple of moments to register, ta tell the truth. I had to laugh at my self, and went about seeking a better outlet. From that experience, a frozen hotdog would, frankly, be agonizing. ---

To Fish Head, I will check out your question very shortly, but first… I agree, ice can add some excitement to love-making. However, as elelle explains, not when it is is continued contact with very sensitive areas. OUCH!!! To JillGat, I can not wait to see what the great one has to say about this.
