The latest Internet craze when it comes to masturbation for randy young men is to stroke their penis with a banana peel wrapped around it.

According to one Reddit user who has “been doing it for years” with a banana peel: “It’s the closest thing to a blowjob.”

However, in an interview with the U.K. Sun, Dr. Diana Gill of online doctor site Doctor-4-U doesn’t recommend the fruity deed as it could lead to “a rash and sores on the penis which can be painful and might lead to infection.”

And things could get worse if you have an allergy to the yellow-skinned fruit.

“A person with a banana allergy is more likely to be allergic to other substances such as latex or other fruits and vegetables,” said Gill. “So if you’re allergic to latex condoms you may also be allergic to banana skins.”
