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

              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.

                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.

                  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.

                    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.

              Here’s the beautiful part: you don’t need to. Shit particles go everywhere.

              If you leave the toilet lid up when flushing and keep the toothbrush out you’re not far from it!

          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.

            In that second comment they talk about the normal stuff that comes with oral/vaginal and how it’s not like what’s in/around the butt. STIs are called out as an exception, they aren’t what the comment is really about.

            The jist is that you can get some temporary inconvenience with a new partner, but it’s unlikely to be anything serious.

      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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

      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

            That’s a real shame mate. Maybe see if they can give you a heads up or something. At least can try and get out of the splash zone then.

            I know several people that would fucking love that. But if it’s not your thing can’t be helped.

              It’s possible they were inconsiderate. But I’ve had a partner that didn’t warn me because she only ever squirted with penetration so it didn’t occur to her she even needed to.
