Health Fad Of The Week

Proverbially, it is an area where the sun doesn’t shine but a fad that has had its moment in the sun recently, I missed it first time round when I was away catching some rays, is perineum sunning.

One enthusiast, Meagan from California (natch) is so enamoured with it that she claims she exposes her perineum (look it up!) to the sun for five minutes every day, usually between 7 and 9 am. It gives her so much energy, she claims, that she has been able to ditch coffee. I have may have missed something, but I never really associated coffee with energy but there we are.

Just thirty seconds of exposing your anus, she enthuses, is the equivalent to “a full day of sunlight with your clothes on”.

There are some pitfalls with the practice, though. Josh Brolin, an actor, shared his experiences with a grateful world. “Tried this perineum sunning that I’ve been hearing about and my suggestion is DO NOT do it as long as I did. My pucker hole is crazy burned and I was going to spend the day shopping with my family and instead I’m icing and using aloe and burn creams because of the severity of the pain. I don’t know who the f*** thought of this stupid s*** but f*** you nonetheless. Seriously.

Moderation in everything is my motto.
