I agree with this 100%

Even as a guy, this stuff bothers me, too. I think I heard once that there's the possibility of yeast infections from doing that shit. That just doesn't sound pleasant or worth the risk.

If it's a toy that's shaped to look like one, that's one thing, but yeah, I agree. 1 it's a waste of perfectly nommable candy, 2 it's disgusting in many more ways thsn one...

3) Ever get peppermint oil on your skin? Shit burns like napalm, and because it's oil you can't just wash it off. Not to mention cold water makes it a thousand time worse. Even warm water hurts, so you just have to bear with it while you use a de-greasing soap of some sort (I use liquid dish soap, it's cheap and it's really useful) to get rid of it; and even then there're after effects for a bit. Now imagine that inside you, either up your ass or in your vag. ~shudders~ Yeah, not sexy.

I understand the fantasy, but seriously. No. If you want to go the sexual fantasy route, there are plenty of sex toys shaped like candy canes, along with plenty of peppermint-flavored lube out there (or even other holiday flavors like pumpkin pie and gingerbread), so there are plenty of opportunities to fulfill that particular sexual fantasy without using an actual candy cane.

Not to mention what could happen if something like that had a piece break off inside you. ~winces~
