Talk about a bummer. Nearly 4,000 people are hospitalized with sexual objects in their rectum each year, according to a new study published in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine. The study—said to be the first “nationally representative data” on rectal foreign bodies in the US—found 38,948 emergency department visits based on 885 cases in a 10-year time period.
Of these reported cases, the average age of the patient visiting the emergency room was 43 years old, nearly 78% of the patients were male, and 40% of these patients required hospitalization. Over half of the foreign bodies were sexual objects, which could be items like vibrators, anal beads, or other toys. Last year, a French senior citizen left doctors shell-shocked when he arrived with a World War I artillery shell lodged in his rectum—it caused the hospital to be partially evacuated over bomb scare concerns.
