Social media is a great thing. It introduces you to new friends, trends and lets you secretly keep tabs on all your exes (yes you’re hotter than his new chick, girl).
It also brings stupidity to the masses. If you thought we learned our lesson when Gwyneth’s goopy vag steaming was debunked or we had to remind people not to put toothpaste on their privates, let me introduce you to Meagan.
Meagan practices what she believes is the ancient Taoist practice of perineum sunning. Yes. You read that correctly.
“In Taoism, the perineum or Hui Yin is called the ‘Gate of Life and Death’. This is a gateway where energy enters and exits the body.” says Meagan.
Per Meagan, the benefits to this practice are increased energy, libido and creativity as well as grounding and connecting you to the earth and amplifying your auric field. She has given up coffee due to the apparent energy the sun on her arsehole has provided her with.
While she claims “the intention is not to tan your butthole”(gotta love the scientific terminology), she also claims that “just 30 seconds of sun shine on your bum hole is the equivalent of a full day of sunshine with your clothes on.”
Yeah, that’s not true. There is ZERO scientific truth to that. And if there was, you’d want to wear sunscreen because that much sun exposure can cause skin cancer.
Speaking of skin cancer I am assuming Meagan hasn’t heard of it. Because daily sun exposure to your perineum can lead to melanoma…on your labia.
While I am usually a believer in east meets west regarding health and wellness, I think it’s important to be sure the practices we follow have at least some scientific backing pointing to the potential for benefit and not a potential to harm. This particular practice does the opposite.
In conclusion, move along. Taint anything to see here, folks. Unless you’re Meagan’s neighbor.
