Health benefits accrue from exchanging bodily fluids....and solid matter

[Sporting]

This is the second piece I read about how our prejudice against and paranoia about bugs and bacteria is costing us unnecessary illnesses. There is research going on at UBC as well in the same vein as this article, re strengthening immunity. I just read this article and again feel ok about my occasional desire to lick anus and even plunge my tongue inwards, mainly for the squeals of delight it can elicit. The caveat being the health of the recipient of course, but it can promote good health and robust resistance to killer bugs.

Watched this on Dr. Oz about 6 months ago and to get the benefits if you have c.diff/ibs/ibd is not thru the mouth but thru the colon.
So all the analingus you are performing isn't helping you and what if the donor (SP/girlfriend/wife) has a bad fecal bacterial flora?
Could make your gut even worse.

 

[UhOh]

Sometimes science is so gross.

Dr Oz is a nut and it is scary that he is allowed to practise medicine.

This is a guy who devoted an episode to curing homosexuals. After it was aired real live scientists and psychologists called him on his bullshit and he flip flopped. He said he was just proposing an idea blah blah blah...

Fucking asshole.

Its true that our extra sanitation these days is causing a backlash, a lot of people really take advantage of the cleaning products & services today, and their homes are a bit too clean, and also the showering everyday sometimes twice a day too. That's why people always get sick so easily, I'm kind of a slob so I never get sick, the last time I actually got any kind of cold or flu was probably 4 years ago and that was after 5 years when I suddenly stopped giving a crap about my appearances and keeping everything spic-and-span. My family and room-mates who I've lived with on the other hand, their spaces were extra clean always and they were almost always sick!

um.. the whole idea of rimming is that the butt is clean... not that it is beneficial to ingest poo. Ever heard of Hep A?

And the whole issue with C. Difficile is to restore the balance by irrigating the colon with healthy bacteria. But it's done through the colon, ingesting anal bacteria orally is never good.

A rimmable butt has to be squeaky clean.

There is a place in Richmond were rimming is common and sucking and kissing right after is practiced. I stopped going there long ago because any visit there resulted in a course of antibiotics within a few days. Was it my own bugs or the culmination of the previous visitors that caused infections? No, these infections didn't rate as sti's but they were sore and uncomfortable. Not appreciated. And medical help a necessity! There a lots of nasty bacteria that we can live with in one part of the body but using a tongue to move them around is dumb. I like the feeling as much as anyone but not happening again.
