There are lots of exciting ways to eat an apple. You can bake it in a pie, you can slice it up into small pieces, you can eat it whole, or, for some added flavor, you can do what this couple is doing and eat it straight from the loins of your lover.

A woman on Reddit recently posted about a new sex fetish she and her husband have been trying out, in which he asks her to place a food item ("like apples, pears, carrots, etc...") in her vagina all day, and then he eats it from her vagina later that evening. *Chef's kiss* MWAH, a true delicacy, because what could be better than vaginally fermented fruit?

This kink has been going on for about two months, she writes, and she posted her experience to Reddit because she has some concerns, like, "Can this make him or I sick?" She does clarify that the fruits and carrots are all organic, and she cleans them thoroughly before poppin' 'em up there. But still. Gotta stay woke when it comes to stocking your vagina like it's a Whole Foods.

Commenters on the post, which appears in r/sex, warn the original poster that this is certainly going to end in a yeast infection. "Organic or not, this is going to end with an infection of sorts," wrote calliecan. "Vegetables aren't meant to go inside of vaginas." Others have voiced similar concerns, but by far the most helpful comment comes from someone who claims to be a real medical doctor, and had paragraphs of insight to offer. The commenter claimed to be a family practitioner, not a gynecologist, and they did point out that this is all rudimentary advice, since this couple is "engaging in an activity that's never been studied by medical science."

The doctor commenter first points out that if the kink is just about leaving something in your vagina all day, try "toys designed for insertion" instead of fruit, and be sure to leave it in there for less than 12 hours to avoid toxic shock syndrome. Some other highlights from the doctor's advice, in case you and your partner want to try experimenting with organic produce foreplay:

"use barrier devices as such condoms or plastic wrap to avoid bacteria/yeast access to sugars in the fruits/vegetables"

"if you're not going to use condoms, choose fruits/vegetables with a especially waxy skins such as some apples or cucumber that function somewhat like a barrier"

So maybe like, try a kiwi, or an orange, or some other fruit that has skin you don't eat. Just my advice, I'm no expert here. Definitely best to steer clear of putting anything that's not a sex toy, tampon, Nuva ring, finger, or penis up there though.
