I am so far behind the times, I don’t think I can ever catch up. I haven’t even had my breasts augmented yet, for heaven’s sake! And my husband still has hair on his chest, if you can imagine it.
Bleach your anus? How do you get to know it needs bleaching? Where are people showing off their anuses that the colour of them becomes a concern? Are there “bend over and spread 'em” beaches? There is so much here I don’t understand.
I figure that once a suitor has occasion to linger on the state of one’s sphincterage, the deal’s not going to fall through unless you don’t clean properly.
There are areas on your body people are less likely to see than your asshole?!?
How awesome does the rest of your body have to be to make this the next item on your list? “Sure, I’m happy with my skin, hair, eyes, tits, face, nails…but come to think of it, my bunghole is a shade or two darker than I’d like it to be.”
The only person I know of who’s had this done is adult film star Tabitha Stevens, and the procedure was captured for posterior, er, posterity on an episode of Dr. 90210. Miss Stevens would, one presumes, be in a position to know the color of her asshole. In fact she’s probably been in that position quite often in the course of her career. Following the procedure Miss Stevens, who had previously acknowledged some issues with her extensive plastic surgery habits, pronounced herself “addicted” to anal bleaching. Tragically, the episode did not include the usual “before” and “after” photos and so it was left to the viewer to imagine the results.

We have a new second place!
Sig please?
I read somewhere that it started out for pornstars, and then, um, “spread” to the anal-conscious public.
What’s next? Cornrowed pubic hair, perhaps?
There was another porn lady, maybe her I don’t remember who also did a demonstration of having her anus bleached on the Howard Stern Show. But I didn’t think it was a common practice.
Of all threads in which to be number two…
Feel free.
Seen it.
Ditto. Granted, it was in a cartoon in Hustler, ca. 1980, but still.
Now, if we do with this near the prostrate gland… No! Down that path lies madness.
Yeah I could only assume that people would do this if they had parts of their body extremely well lit and then filmed. I mean it goes along with wearing full body makeup and having your personal waxer on a speed-dial number higher than your own parents. I don’t think its absurd for people in porn to do this. For the rest of us (I’m assuming no one here is in porn) I would think it would be a very unusual vain decision.
As far as I know, my butthole has not been filmed…yet.
Bleaching? How passe. I darken mine with lampblack.
I think one of the funniest things in this thread isn’t actually in the thread. See, if I’d posted this - even with the same title - I’d have stuck it in MPSIMS. But QtM, with a stroke of comedic genius, actually presented it here in IMHO as a genuine poll: well, is anal bleaching for you? A masterstroke of dry wit.
I think y’all got the wrong definition of detail workin’ here…
Yeah, my ass is in the shop gettin’ detailed. Had ta get it done before Bob and Sue’s big weddin’. 
So noone at SDMB wants to be able to feel like the sun shines out of their nether orifice?
I’d expect at least a few folks from my home state would want to try this. After all, one of our tourist mottos is “Wisconsin: Smell our dairy air!”
Manure desperate for the touristas, huh?
A little known fact: After it was discovered that a combination of the position required, and the harsh chemicals could cut off circulation to the area in question, rendering it cyanotic, the procedure was renamed “The Crystal Gayle Treatment”

Cuz don’t it turn my brown eye blue.
Ducks and Runs…
Thank you. Done.
Obeseus, I would think that would hurt. (Pulling, and all)
