    Hi gang! Doctor here, trained at and still work at the local “Rectal Foreign Body Center of Excellence”, so I feel somewhat qualified to give my professional opinion.

    Yes, nothing without a flared base should be used in this fashion. BUT, there’s pretty much no risk for harm here. Mechanical obstruction is unlikely because, as OP says, it’ll get mushy and get pooped out. Bananas aren’t much of an irritant like a citrus fruit, so not much risk for chemical damage. Someone else said there might be a risk of potassium overdose, but not really. The rectum does absorb, but not as much as the stomach. So while some potassium will be absorbed, this is at worst equivalent to eating the same number of bananas. Which won’t harm you.

    So not a big risk here. That being said, flared bases, everyone!

      Any microbial risk? I know there’s already poop in there, but they’re inserting a new food source into their body.

        Yeah, some microbial risk. But the post says they’re freshly peeled bananas, so probably less microbial risk than a lot of things people put up there…

        Real talk, if you want to get into butt stuffing, get a squishy plug like a square peg egg plug or a topped toys gape keeper. Stuff that’s designed for butt use is infinitely better than improvised things, let me tell you.

      Question for the doctor, especially due to your location of work. Have you ever been approached for shadowing? How would you prefer to be asked?

        Yes, have been approached many times. Very open to shadowing and have had multiple people shadow me.

        How would you prefer to be asked?

        I’m not sure exactly what that question means? I guess I would prefer someone say “I am interested in medicine, can I shadow you to see if it’s something I truly want to do?” Or “I’m applying to medical school and need shadowing hours. Your profession sounds like fun, can I shadow you?”. Problem is you gotta know someone. Or know someone who knows someone. Can’t just walk in off the street and say “I want to shadow”, I’ll likely say no. Most institutions do have a program to facilitate shadowing, which can help with access to willing docs.

        Does that answer your question?

          I like how you are taking these questions at face value. Time for an interview with Philomena Cunk.

          “Isn’t it weird that your job is basically staring into a hole all day? Like, did you lose a bet or something?”

          “Do you ever feel like your patients are secretly judging you while you’re judging their behinds?”

          “What was the first time you told someone, ‘I want to dedicate my life to bottoms,’ and how did they respond?”

          “If you think about it, the rectum is like the backdoor of the body. Do you ever knock, or is it more of a barging-in situation?”

          “Would you say the rectum is the most underappreciated organ, or is it just happy to be left alone?”

          (Only answer if this is fun. I don’t want to waste your time)

            “Isn’t it weird that your job is basically staring into a hole all day? Like, did you lose a bet or something?”

            I have a very broad scope of practice, so I stare into other holes as well! But no, didn’t know how much of my profession would involve starting into holes.

            “Do you ever feel like your patients are secretly judging you while you’re judging their behinds?”

            Eh, not really? Most people tend to be quite self conscious and so are wrapped up in their own judgement to judge me.

            “What was the first time you told someone, ‘I want to dedicate my life to bottoms,’ and how did they respond?”

            I think it was my parents? Pretty much their response was “seems like a good way to pay the bills”.

            “If you think about it, the rectum is like the backdoor of the body. Do you ever knock, or is it more of a barging-in situation?”

            I like to take the door by surprise. If you give them notice by knocking, they clean up the place a bit. Gotta catch them by surprise to know what’s really going on.

            “Would you say the rectum is the most underappreciated organ, or is it just happy to be left alone?”

            Underappreciated for sure. Ever seen that meme about which organ is the most important? Anus shuts up and everyone dies.

          I’m not the person to whole you are talking but I also have a question. There was a meme or something about Cuban medical practices, and they mentioned people from the neighborhood coming along to watch the proceedings and give suggestions. While I don’t think a layperson’s suggestions are terribly likely to be useful, I do see benefits in making the process of medicine less magical and obscure.

          Would you allow someone to tag along quietly even if they weren’t seeking a career in medicine?

            That’s a tough question. Given how much people are wanting to shadow and how little free time I have at work, I’m unlikely to allow some non-medical people to shadow. That’s probably the American medicine training speaking there, though.

        I mean, it takes a long time until a banana isn’t good for eating anymore. It should be shit out long before that.

        In areas where bananas are native people often eat them when they’re more or less liquid.

      But how much radiation will it cause? A banana gives you like 0.1 μSv when eaten, but can it be more/less when it’s up there?

    Doesn’t the colon absorb vitamins better or something? Could you overdose with anal bananas?

      I suppose it’s possible. The amount of absorption is going to depend on what specifically is ‘in there.’ Most vitamins (for example) have been separated from their pre-eaten location/environment by the physical mastication, churning, and compression; and by chemical means by chelation agents, acid/enzyme digestion, or other molecules that break apart lipid blobs and such; and even more importantly, are done in areas designed for absorption with lots of villi to give a million times the surface area. Alcohol, the oft-given example of a substance absorbed by the rear part of your gastric tube, is a fairly ‘ready to be absorbed’ compound. Suppositories are also similarly in a state that makes their active agents easily absorbed.

      A whole bananal probably is going to be absorbed like a rock through a 5mm sieve. The bacteria in the rectum might start the process, breaking down the cells and matrix of the banana into readily absorbed compounds, but if you’ve ever seen an organic object like an apple or banana rot outside somewhere, it is a very slow process. You’ll be much more likely to suffer some form of infection/sepsis from the bloom of bacteria (or the smaller chance of a fungal infection) long before enough of the banana is absorbed.

      All of this is even more true if the OP was shoving them still in their skins in. The bananal skin will definitely be a very slow degradation, and absorb like an intelligent thought into the president elect.

      IIRC the large intestine and colon is more about water resorption than nutrient absorption, and while potassium is a very dangerous electrolyte, I’m doubtful that much of it will get absorbed at all, even if 1 banana could do any damage to the average person with working kidneys.

        You munch it up… Swallow the mush banana… Gets an acid bath and turns into vomit… Continues to sail down into the small intestine and gets absorbed and dissolved further… Then the large intestine and maybe absorbed further and/or added to by other things such as a banana being inserted from the exit.
