And NETs complain that they don't get any tail from Korean women.


What the hell is that supposed to mean? Ear blockage, eeeww!

Dating a Korean woman with blocked ears is heaven.

Had a gf once who's uncle was studying to be a naturopath. He "candled" my ears. They have a specially wrapped candle, stick it in your ear, then light it! The burning draws the wax out, and you can even hear it gurgling.
It was dangerous, exciting, mad, and moderately successful. You have to tell him when it gets too hot, so on the second ear I chickened out early. lol
I couldn't imagine letting a Korean try this on me. :shock:

Ear Candling Risks

Ear candling is not just ineffective; it can be dangerous if the burning wax drips into the ear canal.

"I just saw my third case of ear candling fallout this past week in a 33-year-old woman who burned both eardrums and was in chronic pain for days," Richard Carmen, AuD, an audiologist in Sedona, Ariz., tells WebMD. "Damage can be permanent or require reconstructive surgery. What is perceived by consumers as earwax coming out of the cone is actually melting wax from the candle. If consumers are hurt by this product, I encourage them to contact their attorney general."

That's in a Douglas Coupland book...or a friggin - who's the American psycho guy..? anyway, I was desperate a couple of years ago. Tried the old ear candle gag. Didn't work out. I prefer the syringing.
