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
Any house with a toilet is covered in a micro layer of shit particles so most likely.
They only really covered STIs. But there’s a huge range of things in your mouth. Colds and flus are big ones obviously. But also things like mono etc.
Any exchange of fluids is a risk. Just have to be as clean as possible and choose your partners well.
I’m curious to see how it feels, but have zero interest in performing it on someone else. I have enough trouble going down on my partner that squirts.
Ya. I like this person a lot but I gagged last time I went down on them when it happened.
Honestly, they didn’t warn me the first time I did which maybe I should have set as a boundary. Idk
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.
The one thing I noticed missing is the time it takes for bacteria to reach harmful levels. I am by no means a nurse, or have any knowledge on that subject. I would only imagine that removing 99% with soaps, cleaning, and being quick about eating ass reduces your chance of sickness by a lot.
…how common are worms in humans?
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works thanks for the incredible write up!
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.
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.
This is exactly what I would expect to read from a normy who never had their ass eaten.
My sweet sweet summer child. I hope you one day find the most beautiful partner and you both go crazy on each other in unspeakable ways - throw all that “clear thinking” out the window and live in the moment at least once
