Dear Just Jill,
So, I think I am fairly with it. I like to keep up with the times, but I have to say, this one threw me for a loop!!
Has anybody heard of perineum sunning? Yes, you heard it right.… basically basking your bum hole in the sun!!
Have any Sole Sisters heard of this or tried it? Is it a fad, or are the benefits real? I have read that it can lead to better sleep, increased libido, boost your mood, cleanse your genitals, and enhance longevity and stamina. All sounds too good to be true.
For argument's sake, let's say it is true, and this practice has incredible benefits. This leads to my next question: the logistics of sticking my naked derriere in the air to get the sun. How does this even work? And what about suntan lotion? I certainly don't want to get burnt there!!
What's a gal to do?
Sincerely,
Bum Sunning Brenda
SOLE SISTER ADVICE
- I googled this and read that there is no scientific evidence that these supposed health benefits are real. In fact, your concern about sunburn is valid, and the article suggests that it would be terrible to have a burn down there. Just say no!
- This is when we draw on Jane Fonda's interview in the Wiser than Me podcast and remember that one of the beautiful things about being our age is remembering that NO is a complete sentence.
- There is no scientific evidence because they could not find trial volunteers.
- Dr. Karan, a surgeon in the UK who does YouTube education videos, recently busted this practice, which is trending on the internet and TikTok. He said there's a reason for all the sayings about 'places where the sun don't shine' and that those places should remain out of sunlight. According to Dr. Karan, there is NO benefit to exposing one's nether regions (his expression!) to sunlight, as only bad things can happen. I can't believe this has become such a talked about trend, but then I was shocked about the number of people who thought ivermectin or bleach were curing COVID-19 also.
- This trend is up there with eating Tide Pods.
- Okay, I must be out of it. I had never heard about it until I read this post. I am happy to hear it has no medically supported value. I do not like the idea of many bums hanging out of car windows for medical reasons.
- Ummm...why?
- I think a bunch of frat boys dreamed this up as a prank.
- Just another reason to get naked!
- I heard about this last year when someone did a spoof video. You can't see the results. You don't hang it all out so others can see how lovely the results are . . . too funny.
- Fad. Don't do it. Your lady bits have no need for UV radiation.
