Hi gang! Doctor here, trained at and still work at the local “Rectal Foreign Body Center of Excellence”, so I feel somewhat qualified to give my professional opinion.
Yes, nothing without a flared base should be used in this fashion. BUT, there’s pretty much no risk for harm here. Mechanical obstruction is unlikely because, as OP says, it’ll get mushy and get pooped out. Bananas aren’t much of an irritant like a citrus fruit, so not much risk for chemical damage. Someone else said there might be a risk of potassium overdose, but not really. The rectum does absorb, but not as much as the stomach. So while some potassium will be absorbed, this is at worst equivalent to eating the same number of bananas. Which won’t harm you.
So not a big risk here. That being said, flared bases, everyone!
I hope you remind friends, family, and colleagues about the importance of flared bases every holiday season. It’s the type of progressive service the people need but don’t realize yet. Stay #based and blesst y’all
I come from a heavily Roman Catholic background. Recognition of the existence of butt stuff to family doesn’t go over well. But friends and the family I’m raising get regular reminders!
Thank you, Dr Ass!
Any microbial risk? I know there’s already poop in there, but they’re inserting a new food source into their body.
Yeah, some microbial risk. But the post says they’re freshly peeled bananas, so probably less microbial risk than a lot of things people put up there…
less microbial risk than a lot of things people put up there…
What about if the mushy banana is rotting? How bad does it have to rot to start to do something to your asshole?
I’ve dug poop out of buttholes with my (fortunately not bare) hands that are rock solid. Even the most unripe banana will pass with a good drink of water and a bit of effort.
If there’s a problem simply shove a monkey up there. Problem rectified
Their body their choice.
My eyes though
I read the first sentence and immediately stopped reading.
I did not and I wish I had. Today was a bad day to Internet
Am I the only one who thought it funny?
You did the right thing.
Gives eating ass a new meaning. New kink drops,
Doesn’t the colon absorb vitamins better or something? Could you overdose with anal bananas?
IIRC the large intestine and colon is more about water resorption than nutrient absorption, and while potassium is a very dangerous electrolyte, I’m doubtful that much of it will get absorbed at all, even if 1 banana could do any damage to the average person with working kidneys.
This is funnier now that I see we are in the science sub lmao
This one goes out to people that work in healthcare, like my sister. The stories she has lmao.
Anyway…
I don’t want to know how…but I really want to know how at the same time.
