No. The sphincter's job is to prevent seepage in both directions.
Doesn't mean it can't happen, but it typically does not.

Not any more than poop juice seeps out when you're not.
So only after Taco Bell, got it. Thanks for clearing that up.
Getting the runs from the border!
What if you bathed in Taco Bell sauce?
Ummmmmm.....
Water doesn’t seep into my butt when I ultra super-soaker powerblast my anus directly using my bidet
So uhhhh no
There are experiences awaiting you in life.
Bruh the best part of the bidet is the super-soaker power blast douche. Never feel cleaner.
OP doesn't even know
Not my ass because I keep it highly pressurized with the help of a handy bicycle tire pump.
A guy died from that india. ( snake voice) His bruh totally pra'hancked hhh'yyem
That seems more like sexual assault than a prank, Idk how you'd covertly get the pump tip up his ass without assuslting him.
...He looked like an honest face
Have you never taken a bath?
Of course, i guess i just never thought of autofingerblasting to confirm Hypothesis B :(
Wow, that's the first thing I think about in the bath
We know
What are you, my mom?
Why did you spell "climax" like that?
I want to know too.
I don't know how it works for most folks, but as soon as my butt is fully immersed water starts shooting out of my ears just like those peeing angel statues, so yes, there's necessary seepage. That's why I just take showers.
You have nothing to worry about, water does not fuck your ass when fully submerged.
This might sound weird but this is an honest to god scientific diy test.
Go to your shower, switch the head to high pressure mode, spread your cheeks and see what happens.
The short answer is that the sphincter (asshole closing muscle) is really good at it's job, which makes sense when you consider that even pretty loose poop can be held back for hours while gravity does it's best to pull it out. So your sphincter is pretty strong and can handle some significant pressure, much more than your lips, so if you can keep the water from entering your mouth, your butt is fine.
How immersed?
Tye sphincter can and will resist pressure, but only so much. You won't run into that kind of pressure freediving, or even anywhere you could use a wet suit afaik, but you get deep enough and it would become an issue.
Or, if you're immersed somewhere with water moving heavily, you could get breaches in your breeches I suppose.
but you get deep enough and it would become an issue
Really? Since your whole body is submerged there's little to no difference in pressure. Our body is not a hardshell.
I've been over 100 ft under water. The water pressure is at about 45 PSI at that depth. I don't come up to the surface squirting poo water. There are people who have went deeper than that and never heard of it happening.
Ya but you probably didnt do any naughty stuff. I updated the post description
Between your cheeks but it does not go inside you.
I had a disagreement once about whether or not "between the cheeks" counts as "inside." The final verdict was it depends on the context.
The crack is external, although I do wonder what different skin its made of. Like your lips
Also tell us more, @meatbridge
Humans are just a complicated donut.
Or all asshole(s)
The inside rosy part is called the epithelium, for anyone wondering and wants to look it up. "Epithelium vs epidermis" gives a rough idea with plenty of diagrams.
This has to be copypasta
Only when you're gaping.
thats why pools are nasty.
