I suctioned air out my bum. [update: don't do it]

[raisedfist]

I'd rather just eat a can of beans than stick something up my rear...

The scientist in me had a funny idea to combat aerophagia. Attach a syringe to the end of an enema tube and stick it you-know-where.

the scientist in you should realize the proper name is anus. it's a real word. no euphemisms required.

I think you are giving this guy a bum rap!!!

All right, THAT one made me laugh and groan at the same time.

and THIS is the appropriate response to every good pun.

for the most excellent puns, one must hold ones nose and run screaming from the room.

it's a fact!!

I prefer the gif gifs, instead of the jpg gifs.

I don't mind all the jokes. I was well open to concluding this is a bad idea. But no idea is too stupid to discuss, and rather than jokes, I would have better appreciated efforts to quantitatively describe risks.

The risks? Perforation? Indeed, risk from enemas of perforation and serious complication such as death is very high:

This makes me think that any form of enema is categorically bad news except if you need it to save your life.

I am abandoning.

Hopefully, all your problems are behind you now.

He may or may not be joking, but there are some difficult subjects that need to be broached on the cpap board. Please refrain from directly shaming. I was willing to accept the jokes as fun, but to me this kind of post is just overboard. People need to talk about sexual dysfunction, farts, bowel discomfort, all sorts of things, and shaming responses are not needed nor wanted.

If the OP is serious, then it is dangerous.

The risk of perforation or prolapse because of forces applied with a vacuum from a 300ML syringe can be serious.

Why are you defending posts encouraging people perform dangerous procedures on themselves?

I'm not, you didn't say anything about the danger. that's pretty much my whole point.... Thanks for making it for me. IE I'm defending his right to post and not just be directly ridiculed. If you know something negative about the subject that's much more constructive then "your post is crap" I for one did not know about the perforation dangers (not that I was going to try it).

It wasn't worth distinguishing.

And I await your accusations of being a danger to humanity.

Not at all. You are a danger only to yourself.

Unless he breeds, highly unlikely, I think the scientist he thought in him came out with the gas. Jim

Some things should not be given a platform.

Just as Intelligent Design has no place in science class, and Anti-vaxxing has no place in Biology; sticking a tube up your hoop and applying suction has no place in a serious aerophagia discussion amongst lay people.

Zonker sees what you did there.
