    Maybe coconut water or aloe vera gel, I imagine it’d feel weird but probably not regrettable.

    I guess we’ve got to beat Cleopatra as our baseline with her bath of asp milk.

    Marmite would probably veer into the regrettable category, and I’m saying that as a marmite enjoyer

      You’ve got two Cleopatra stories mixed up there.

      She was said to bathe in ass’s (donkey’s) milk.

      She killed herself by holding an asp (snake) to her breast.

      coconut water

      in a heartbeat

      aloe vera

      I can imagine this feeling really tingly after a while, though not sure why.

      asp milk

      what is this? I googled and found nothing

      marmite

      I too partake joyfully in that hellish sludge, and have wondered what depths of depravity I would willingly go to to satisfy that dark craving

        Ah I got my history slightly wrong, she bathed in donkey milk and just liked asps (a kind of snake)

          The asses’ milk would moisturize skin. I assume a water rinse though, because old milk stinks and could cause a yeast infection.

          The asp was legendarily her choice to commit suicide, though it was probably an Egyptian Cobra, if it was a snake at all. (Asp bite death is slower and much more painful than cobra bite death.) I have a theory that the asp legend depends partly on the fact it’s easier to rhyme “asp” than Egyptian Cobra. As for snakebite in general, I note that male artists have universally portrayed the snake biting her on her bare booby. That’s not actually a good way to get the venom quickly to the heart/brain/lungs, because boobies are mostly fat, but it makes good pornArt.
