Advice from the doctors
Doctors said many young people have a tendency to seek extreme sensations using sex toys. On the other hand, some end up using live animals in the process.
“Eels can survive in anaerobic conditions for a long time and have the ability to bite through the gastrointestinal tract," warnedNhat Huy.
"Therefore, people should never insert live animals through the anus to seek intense sensations due to the unforeseeable consequences,” the doctor warned.
