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?

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

[–] Lmaydev@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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 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?

[–] suodrazah@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] sincle354@kbin.social 13 points 2 years 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.

[–] PopMyCop@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 2 years 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.

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

@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works thanks for the incredible write up!

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Glad you enjoyed my ass... writing

[–] jak@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (3 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.

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.

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years 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?

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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