Susannah just sent me a clipping from Weekly World New about “Sphincterine,” an “asstringent” for your anus. Thinking perhaps Sphincterine was akin to Bat Boy, I did a little web research…
And what do you know! At well-chosen domain minty-ass.com, you can read all about this new product. A testimonial describes it as “Like Altoids for your Ass!”
Who knew!

I ordered it for my ex-boyfriend for holiday/belated birthday, thanks Ariel/Suz! He is the perfect perfect person for this. Whatever you can glean from that, be my guest.

OK, I’ve now tried this stuff as I got a free bottle with my purchase for the ex and aside from being silly because it’s not our norm, it’s great, and clean and so what if it’s…anal. Europeans have bidets, what’s weird about wanting a clean ass? It’s weird not to want one as far as I’m concerned. It would certainly take the anxiety out of certain sexual positions to have a minty ass. So, my point is, it’s only “insane” beacuse we’re not used to it, not because it doesn’t serve a very good purpose.
