Surgeons remove 18 inch yucca root from man's bottom 'after he uses it as sex aid'

He said food play was a sitophilia whereby individuals can be aroused by situations that involve edible matter. The Costa Rica Star said emergency rooms had admitted patients whose sitophilia sessions compromised their health due to lack of precautions or clouded judgments.
