Subject: BS: Safety Advice From London From: JohnInKansas Date: 13 Oct 13 - 02:48 AM A recent news article, somewhat too long to post, indicates that London Firefighters have shown a commendable concern for the well being of the populace, with a campaign to encourage the avoidance of certain risky behaviours. The disparity between the attempts of London emergency crews is appropriately contrasted with the manner in which corresponding US agents/agencies appear to completely ignore the problem. As described in the news: London firefighters have launched a public shaming campaign to stem the rise of locals summoning urgent help to remove foreign objects stuck on — or inside — their bodies, but the kinky topic is so taboo in America some top U.S. emergency workers won't discuss the behavior. Except in Los Angeles. L.A. Fire Department medical director Dr. Marc Eckstein acknowledges that 911 operators do receive a small number of sexually bizarre rescue pleas and do dispatch ambulances, including instances in which they must assist men with … When contacted for comment, officials at other emergency agencies struggled to answer if — as in London — they have marked an uptick in the rate of 911 calls or ER visits from Americans with … A spokeswoman for the (US) National Association of EMS Physicians simply responded to the query with: "I'm just not sure where to go with this." But in London, fire officials aren't holding their tongues about how they must perform tasks like freeing a man's penis from a vacuum cleaner. The London Fire Brigade has launched a public campaign dubbed "Fifty Shades of Red," theorizing that an increase in such randy rescue calls in that city is perhaps propelled by the popularity of the erotic romance novel "Fifty Shades of Grey." The campaign simply urges people in London — especially guys — to exercise more common sense before inserting their manhood into gadgets made for cooking or cleaning. The brigade reports that it responded to 416 stuck-body-part calls in 2010-11, another 441 in 2011-12 and 453 in 2012-13. Among those emergency requests for assistance, 79 people were wearing handcuffs they could not remove. CBS late night talk show host David Letterman heard about the issue and decided Wednesday to dedicate a top 10 list to "Thoughts Going Through The Mind Of The Guy Who Had Sex With A Toaster." "Boy, I mean I can think of maybe a dozen things around the house I'd pick before the toaster, just off the top of my head," Letterman said. "But that's just me. I mean, everybody has different tastes."

Subject: RE: BS: Safety Advice From London From: JohnInKansas Date: 13 Oct 13 - 04:45 AM The article suggests that "the problems" are mostly encountered by males, however one young lady of my acquaintance once offered her opinion that Ben Wa balls should be made of magnetic material to make them easier to "pull out." She apparently had experienced minor difficulties, although I don't believe professional assistance was required. (She never followed up on my offer to assist should it happen again.) Not all such cases involve "sexual implications," as many jewelers report cutting off (finger) rings and occasionally even bracelets when the wearer "grew into them" and couldn't get them off. Having once frequented a tavern that was a favorite hangout for about a dozen nureses and a couple of ER doctors, I can attest to general awareness of "the problems" locally - at least some years ago - although professional ethics mostly prevented full disclosure of "all the details" that might have been hilarious.

Subject: RE: BS: Safety Advice From London From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 13 Oct 13 - 01:31 PM Willies seem to get everywhere don't they? On a cleaner note, I've heard of cases of a toe stuck up the tap in the bath. Firemen have freed several of these. BUT, as it seems to be mostly women who do this, could it be a bathtime fantasy made real by a quick 999 call? Firemen can be very attractive in their uniforms. |

Subject: RE: BS: Safety Advice From London From: Rapparee Date: 13 Oct 13 - 10:40 PM I have a book called, I believe, "The Placebo Chronicles", with reproductions of real-life x-rays of real-life "situations" involving various articles used in a manner their manufacturer did not intend. |

Subject: RE: BS: Safety Advice From London From: JohnInKansas Date: 14 Oct 13 - 03:32 AM cases of a toe stuck up the tap in the bath ... Masters & Johnson (in one of their less popular books) suggested that "playing a stream of water on it" was a fairly popular method of female arousal. It's really tough to get it all under the spout, so some might try to use a toe to "squirt a stream" to a more convenient place. It's unlikely there have been as many cases as suggested by popular ideas, but at least a few have been reported reasonably credibly. I don't know of any further discussion or study, beyond suggesting the "method;" but maybe it's at least partly responsible for the popularity of the hand-held "nozzles on a hose" in more "modern" plumbing. (???) Someone should do a more complete study. (?) (Someone certainly will if/when they figure out that it could boost sales of "bathroom modernizations.") John |
