Oh, the thong covers the anus proper, but despite the name, the bleaching is actually for the darkened _near_ anus. I’ve never looked back! Not during the procedure, anyway. Stings the eyes, you know. ---

> [@G0sp3l](#): > > WTF?!!? I’m seriously starting to think those “The End is Nigh” signs are right. Isn’t it more accurate top say, “The End is White?” Whatever you do, never commit a crime naked after dark. Your tail light will give you away as you attempt your escape. (But, at least a cop won’t stop you claiming you have a burned out tail light …) ---

No one? Wow. I have to admit I know some folks (mostly men) who HAVE had this done to them (from the after hours bull sessions I’d guess the one’s who have wish they hadn’t), but for my own part this is about the last bit of cosmetic surgery I’d envision. Right after having my scrotum ‘tucked’ I suppose (and yeah, know someone who has had that done too)… -XT ---

Anal bleaching? No need! I brush mine thrice daily as well as flossing before bed. And that ain’t easy! ---

What was evolution thinking anyway?? Hm, as these homo buttsnifficus primates are leaving the trees, running around and losing their fur, I shall have to devise a way for potential mates to more easily discern the age of their mate. I know! I’ll make their buttholes darken the older they get! ---
