  This is actually a survival technique if you have water than may not be quite potable to drink, you can essentially drink through your ass and not get sick

    Ass chugging for health sounds sus but I don’t know enough about butt hydration to dispute it

      It sounds logical to me that you wouldn’t get sick, after all your poop isn’t exactly sterile and so your colon is already shielding you from absorbing the bad stuff from it. What I question is how much hydration you’ll really gain, you definitely absorb some since some folks can get drunk by dipping a tampon in vodka and putting it up there but I dunno about water…

        In a different thread someone said that it’s the opposite, you better drink the water because that would at least pose a chance of killing some threats, whereas if you butt-drink it it will be guaranteed to deliver everything as is

        Colon is really good at dehydrating. That’s why you get constipation if you hold it too long.

        As we all know, our intestinal trackt is (mainly) divided into 3 sections: colon, small intestine and the colon. The stomach mainly breaks down the food physically and chemically. The small intestine absorbs nutrients (and breaks down the food even more) and the colon dehydrates the poop, to not waste water and to get a bit more suitable consistency. It also saves space if you dont have to store all the water.

        So you can absolutely drink water through your colon. I wouldn’t really recommend it, since theres the danger of you accidentally pushing back your stool which isn’t that good, but you can do it.

    I only know that from Bear Grylls and I think that guy is just a fetishist pretending to be a survivalist.

      Ah, I learned it from Les Stroud aka Survivorman, who is the real deal, seems like Bear got it right for once.

      (Should be noted it’s not a good method and still has hazards, but could save your life if you don’t have another option- similar to how how Les will advocate for simply drinking from a mountain stream if you can’t purify- more than likely you won’t get giardia- even if you do, better than dying of dehydration after 3 days of no water)

    It should be the opposite. Saliva enzymes, stomach acid, and bile takes care of most pathogens, whereas anal lining is basically a direct route to your bloodstream.

    This is why anal is considered the riskiest option for sex or drugs.
