Crack hair.
Wellp, there’s my ear-worm for the week.
I’m so glad it’s Sunday.
I remember watching some comedy show in college with the dorm-mates (including several football players) and they had some goofy fake commercial for men’s underwear with a brown stripe down the back to mask skid marks, and lots of the guys were laughing, saying “aw man, I need those!” and stuff. And I was thinking, wait, is it considered somehow normal for dudes to get shit stains in your underwear? Isn’t that what wiping your butt is meant to prevent?
I’m pretty sure that a whole lot of guys are terrified that touching your anus in any way, even to clean it, will trigger some latent homosexuality, like it’s a magic gay button back there.
Sorry - my bad for using the super scientific word of “thing”.
If just a handful of nuts do it - it obviously exists, it just isn’t a real problem in society.
The article title makes it sound like a societal problem based on ‘septic masculinity’ and ‘homophobia’. But if this isn’t a problem for more than a few weirdos, then its a personal issue thing, not a societal thing.
And these are probably the same guys that never bother getting a colonoscopy because the prostate is the biggest, magicalest gay button of all.
God, my gender is full of idiots.
According to the nurse who gave me mine (while fully conscious), that’s why many guys who get them prefer to be sedated. They want zero knowledge or awareness that anything is going into their butt. They would prefer to be knocked out cold and wake up hours later & spend the better part of a day in a hospital rather than be conscious and aware while a camera goes up there.
I think some places just routinely sedate people. I haven’t had a colonoscopy, but my wife has. And she was sedated.
Who potty trained these people? Pretty sure whiping ones butt is taught at a very early age. WTF doesn’t quite cover it.
The assholes have truly won.
I had a little chat with the nurses about that. In America, you’re routinely sedated entirely after the age of 60. Before that age, the default is to give everyone Propofol, which doesn’t put you under, but is a short-term amnesiac; you’ll have little to no memory of the procedure. Some facilities automatically sedate everyone, no matter what your age. I opted out of any medication whatsoever, and the nurses were quite happy to not deal with anesthesia or meds. I had little to no pain and could just walk out afterwards (as opposed to the mandatory 2 hr wait after meds and then needing a ride home).
While I am decidedly hetero at least in the sense mens bodies don’t make me go heeeeyyyy like womens do, I have no problems with things going where the sun don’t shine. Heck I want to see the live video feed when I get my turn at it.
When it comes time for your colonoscopy (and every dude should get one, or is supposed to), I highly recommend this. It was kind of amazing watching the live feed of a camera exploring all the way down my colon and the doctor pointing out “hey, there’s your small intestine, see the cilia wiggling around?” or the pucker where my appendix starts, and watching them snip off biopsy samples with teeny scissors here and there. The doc even said, and I quote, “this is my idea of a video game, putting cameras up your butt!”
I guess I was using “sedation” loosely. They gave her something.
My most recent was full sedation, but my 1st in the late 80’s was awake with IV Valium and Demerol, hands down the best high I ever had.
So…you agree then?
I fully endorse any trolley-posting that might convince alt-right reddit morons that not wiping their butts would make them extra manly and patriotic. I would love it if white supremacists nationwide started smelling like poopy butt.
I elected to skip the heavy sedation (Versed, the amnesiac commonly used for dental IV sedation) and just do the light opioid, which was still way too much drug for someone who was running a caloric deficit in the low to mid thousands. I came away with the opinion that prevalent homophobia is indeed the reason for the massive sedation they normally use.
But then again, that scope wasn’t the first overpriced gadget I’d ever taken, and I had my wife write “You call that foreplay?” on my left ass cheek before the procedure. Which turned out to be a big hit with the entire staff. Apparently that’s not as common a joke as I’d assumed.
What does a colonoscopy have to do with the prostate?
If sedation is an option I’d take it because it sounds very uncomfortable. I live in enough discomfort.
Not live but I’d see it afterwards.
In my opinion, the days of “prep” beforehand were far worse than the procedure. The scope was no big deal and my doc was very good at guiding it around; virtually no discomfort or pain. Caveat: I am gay, so, yeah.
Sedation (with an amnesiac) is the norm and the default in America. I’m led to understand in the UK it’s on request.
