Technically, the human body is a giant tube … if you follow the surface area of the outer skin, it follows a continuous membrane through your body. The surface area of your lips, all through your digestive system follows the same surface membrane as your anus. The actual human part of us is housed behind the membrane. And anything we put in our mouth eventually exits the rear (and it some extreme instances, ejects out both ends).

We are just a giant walking tube

We genuinely kind of are. Biology even has a name for this: all animals that are tubes are called chordates

  Don’t forget that there are also two divisions of chordates: one where the mouth develops first, and one where the anus develops first*.

  Side note, ‘develop’ may have different meaning here (it’s like a dimple forming)

  That’s the default, tell me about the non chordal ones.

    Jellyfish, starfish, sea urchins, sponges, coral, etc … along with quite a lot of microscopic organisms.

Large portions are absorbed through the membrane, and cleverly placed sphincters make time for chemical processes to permanent alter many of the things we eat. The things that go in (other than corn kernel shells) aren’t the same anymore when they leave.

Yes, but by the time it gets to the rear, it won’t be ‘cum’ anymore.

Sperm ain’t gonna make that whole journey in one piece.

  what about those with those …filling… fetishes.
  or those with large amounts of ejaculate.
  
  surely there are cases of shitting ( probably dead )sperm. ?
  
  i dunno. I’ve already thought too much about this today.

    Have you ever eaten so much that you ended up shitting out undigested food? Probably not. Normally, you’d puke long before that happened.

    When you said our next sexual experiment would involve corn on the cob, this is not what I envisioned.
