Couple suffer third-degree burns after trying to spice things up in the bedroom

A daring couple has revealed that they ended up in hospital after trying to spice things up in the bedroom with food.

Josi and Michael - who have been a couple for three years - recently explained that they were quite adventurous in their sex life, but things once went horribly wrong.

Speaking on an episode of TLC’s Sex Sent Me to the ER, the couple recalled an awkward incident that involved melting a giant gummy bear into a liquid.

The couple had played with candle wax in the past and so they were excited to bring hot food into the bedroom. Michael then revealed that he poured the molten sugar on his partner's chest.

“It was hot, in my head I’m comparing it to things like candle wax and I’m like it’s going to instantly start cooling down," Josi said.

She then added: “My chest was on fire.”

Unfortunately for the couple, the boiling hot gummy sweet was not cooling down and in an attempt to ease the situation, Michael tried to lick the substance off.

However, Michal was left reeling in agony and horror after Josi's skin began to peel off and he burned his mouth.

The horrified couple rushed to A&E where they later discovered that Josi had suffered third-degree burns because of their kinky furore.

While they were in the medical room, a doctor explained to the couple how dangerous it was to use scolding hot sugar and explained that it is very difficult to remove from skin because it continues to burn.

“Burns are relatively common in the ER, they’re relatively uncommon self-inflicted like this," doctor Jordon Moskoff said.

“I’ve never seen someone purposefully burn themselves with molten gummy candy.”

Following the nasty incident, it took several months before Josi's wound healed over and turned into a scar.

Reflecting upon the mortifying experience, the couple pointed out that what they took from the situation is a new awareness to research the things they bring into the bedroom.

“For both of us it really was humbling to say the least," Michael added.

“We do make sure to do a bit more thorough research into our endeavours.”

Josi and Michael are not the only couple to have had an unfortunate incident in the bedroom. Elsewhere in the shocking series, one unlucky lover got a particular body part stuck in a door while another lady accidentally got an electric shock.
