If it was the anus, it would the hella curvy, and many people actually can pull that off. One side effect may be that going deep with thicker things, you will get megacolon, which in turn can give you the worst kind of constipation for the rest of your life.

Megacolon sounds a lot cooler than it really is.

Yeah, could enable you to not poop for weeks, at the cost of abdominal pain.

Oh wow! But are there any downsides?

Thanks for that link! I appreciate it so much that I'm not even gonna open it. So that it retains more value, of course!
