**LoadedDog** , I can almost imagine the curlicules and pointing-finger bullets around each line of the ad. Thank you and thank Dr. \*\*QtM \*\* for bringing this important issue to our attention. And as for the question, maybe if they made a Whitening-Formula Preparation H , more people would be inclined. As it is most of us are just thankful beyond measure to our Greater Power of choice that the orifice in question merely \*functions \* with a semblance of reliability. ---

I can’t have this procedure because I have anal glaucoma. In other words, I just can’t see myself getting my bunghole bleached. ---

It’s gotta be marketed hygiene AND aesthetics. Make people believe that everyone can smell them all the time–then they’ll be shamed into buying it. It freshens and whitens. Daily medicated moist wipes. Country-fresh, spring rain, mint bubblegum, etc. ---

Fuck anal bleaching, that’s so yesterday. I’m getting my asshole tattooed a nice fuschia or maybe even periwinkle. While you guys are going back to the sphincter spa for a touch up, my bunghole will be permanently pink or purple. ---

I watched one of the HBO “real sex” episodes over the weekend. One part was about anal sex and bleaching was never mentioned at all! ---

Urgh! Actually I thought the vulval cosmetic work was more disturbing… I’m not entirely sure how having your labia trimmed and part of your clitoral hood removed because you don’t think you’ll get a partner without some cosmetic work on your vulva is different from having your labia trimmed and your clitoral hood removed because your culture think women with intact genitals are unmarriable. One is a “Toronto trim” and legally available to anyone willing to pay, the other is FGM and illegal in most western countries. Just saying… ---

A few things come to mind with this thread: 1. I just read an article in Spin about this convergence of hair metal bands in “Rocklahoma” (yes, that’s what they called it). One of the new bands there was Dirty Penny, who were pleased with themselves because that name is apparently slang for a girl’s anus. So there’s gotta be some link between anal bleaching and taking your dirty penny and making it all shiny! 2. With all this discussion of bleaching to look more attractive, there’s gotta be a “blondes have more fun” line in here somewhere… And finally… 1. What would Dorothy Parker say about this topic? Maybe “Men don’t make passes at women with dark asses?” ::d & r:: ---
