As I was checking out your website for the very first time, your “Embarrassing Sex-Toys Contest” caught my eye. Right away I thought about my sex toys, the different ways I’ve used them, and thought: “Nope, no embarrassing stories there…” But then I remembered something that happened a few years ago, when I was living in France.

My boyfriend was visiting me for the weekend, and we were in a kinky mood and wanted to try something new. In my fridge I had some Hot Dog Wieners…need I say more about what happened next? As far as I remember, my boyfriend did rinse it before using it on me (it felt good by the way, rather a skinny little thing, but nice and long).

Two days later, I was on my own again, and making supper (I was a poor student and hungry: I warmed up a hot dog, but not the same one that had been inside me!). Half an hour later, I started feeling hot, uncomfortable and itchy. The itching got worse; I looked in the mirror and discovered I had turned all red!!! I was having an allergic reaction! I broke out in a sweat, started scratching like mad and in a panic I called my mom. I was kind of freaking out by then, and screechingly told her that I must have eaten something I was allergic to. She told me to go see a doctor right away. It was kind of late at night though, so I realized I would have to go to the nearest Emergency Room. I did not own a vehicle so I quickly called a male friend of mine that lived nearby and owned a car. He was over in a few minutes and we raced to the hospital. I explained that I was having an allergic reaction to something I ate, but that I didn’t know what it was.

I think the most embarrassing part of the story is that by the time we got to the emergency room I felt fine, was no longer itchy or red. So we ended up driving home again!

I never told my mom or my friend what the real reason for my allergy was (and even though I have no medical proof, I am pretty sure it was the Hot Dog’s fault), but I did tell my boyfriend, who of course got a good laugh out of it. For months afterwards I did not touch a Hot Dog, but I am happy to say I can now eat them without breaking out in a rash!
