Honestly probably the best written post I've seen on Lemmy.

I'm still not truly convinced it's not some kind of meme/ weird in-joke that I just don't get. Like, that just seems so obviously unsanitary and with no obvious appeal that I just cannot accept that it can be something that more than a extremely tiny fraction of people actually do

Kissing is similarly gross if you think about it.

I guess you eat a lot of shit?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any house with a toilet is covered in a micro layer of shit particles so most likely.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Do you press your mouth against the toilet and flap your tongue around on it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is your ass always covered in shit? Maybe wash more dude.

Again people do that to each other's mouths which have way more bacteria and decaying food in it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That is still another level than actual shit though. No one argues mouths are hygenic. But to compare it to your butthole, I mean, no. There is a reason stuff like handwashing or flushable toilets increased life expectancy quite a bit, people stopped getting sick from all the stuff that comes out of our shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hand washing stops stuff getting in your mouth and eyes. There's also way more bacteria in your mouth. Both are bad. You're more likely to catch something from kissing.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok dude, you do you.

Not all bacteria are bad and there are big differences between mouth flora and butthole flora. That handwashing stops getting stuff into your eyes and mouth is exactly what I say, so thanks for confirming that. By doing that you prevent anything (or most of it) that comes from your shit to get into your mouth. But you still got bacteria there, just not the shit-kind.

If you don't want to accept that, fine.

It's not something I do personally btw. But people massively blow how dangerous it is out of proportion. As long as you clean yourself it's really not very different to kissing.

Read the comment, it's talked about by the nurse

I dated a girl for a bit who really, really loved having her ass eaten and vice versa so... I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure my distaste for it was a factor in her calling things off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I feel the exact same way.

I don't know anyone who beats about it IRL, and I couldn't think of a bigger turnoff.

I'm sure it happens, but it's gotta be a very very small percentage of people.

It’s only unsanitary if you’re unsanitary though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The whole point of the linked post is that it’s always unsanitary. If you trust someone who claims to be a nurse on the Internet.

It's definitely not a meme. About half my partners have wanted it done to them, wanted to do it to me, or both. It's feels good.

...how common are worms in humans?

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, fuck, it's written like every second person has worms.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Sampling bias of being around literal assholes all the time, for one. Second, nearly every animal not being or under the care of a human has parasitic whatevers. Not a question of if they have them, but what kind.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

For them, they probably do. The nurse said that their job included it, and most healthcare people who are having to go hands-on with a patient for cleaning purposes aren't doing it for fun, but because the person needed it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You don't travel to third world countries to eat rural villager ass?

Glad you enjoyed my ass... writing

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Lmfao, just a nurse chiming in to say I appreciate the shit out of you. Pun intended

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have to ask- is eating pussy or licking balls really more sanitary? If buttcheeks are problematic for bacterial regrowth, surely an asshole (less likely to be freshly cleaned at that) an inch away from the thing you’re licking is also a source for that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Define sanitary.

No body to body contact is truly sanitary in the strictest sense.

And, you're absolutely right that the proximity of the anus to the genitalia means there will be at least occasional stray bacteria reaching said genitalia.

However, because the non-STD bacteria that are the biggest risk with eating ass aren't as well equipped to last on the balls or vulva, and the vagina itself is moderately acidic, the risk of e-coli getting into your mouth in enough quantity and being alive enough to get past your immune system is lower than with direct analingus/rimming.

The butt cheeks are also a much lower risk, but all of the area is a non-zero risk without serious efforts akin to surgical scrubbing. Even that is only temporary.

E-coli can indeed be found in the vagina, on the vulvae, and on the scrotum. That's one of the reasons that you should always use a barrier during sexual contact. Even if you know someone is STD free, you have to be prepared for the inevitable cross contamination. If you're with a partner long term, that's inevitable, so you might as well just get it over with, but for short term or single encounter partners? Dental dams and condoms are cheaper than antibiotics.

Eating ass is repulsive. Sucking on toes is where it's at.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Imo, both are repulsive. Also, kissing, sucking dick, and eating pussy are all repulsive. Vaginal and anal sex are pretty repulsive too when you think about it. Humans are disgusting animals. That being said, I love all of the above and will take as much as I possibly can until I'm physically unable to.

Did you know that (at least using the Boost app) you can add tags to people's names and it appears on every comment/post they make?

How I know

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Have sex with a hundred women, no one bats an eye. Fuck a goat once.. 😭

PS: I dare you to tag me Goat Fucker.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Do you have any idea how confusing this will be once I forget the context?

The context

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Hey it works with connect app as well. Cheers, goat fucker.

Link seems broken/incorrect, all I get when I click it is "Server error"

Comment was deleted. You should have screen shat it.

The assumption that you're not making any contact with fecal material if you're not eating ass is fallacious to begin with. There's a certain point where you just gotta realize you have an immune system for a reason.

Wow, that was one seriously risky click. Completely lost my appetite for lunch, and that was after skipping breakfast because I was rushed this morning.

Goddammit, I hope this hasn’t killed supper for me as well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where does it say anyone in this meme is a career nursing assistant? Did I miss that part or are we making shit up as usual?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's not in the meme. The link should take you to a specific comment that is by a career nursing assistant.

Edit: here's a Direct link

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ahh. I have .ml blocked/filtered from my feed. Thats why.
