holy fucking shit
And also it's not gay
Cocaine! riff from layla
Imagining a scenario where a patient is kept conscious because they have a steady supply of oxygen via their butt but can not breathe with their lungs sounds fucking awful. Better than dying perhaps, but the perpetual feeling of wanting to breathe but being unable to is horrendous.
If you're putting oxygen into the body, you're also still going to use that and produce carbon dioxide. Where is that going to go if you have respiratory failure?
That's a great question. Digging into it a bit more it appears that the liquid absorbs CO2 through the capillary walls into the liquid, in addition to delivering oxygen? So CO2 in the blood does appear to be removed but I'd need to read up on this a little more.
Maybe injecting fluids in your ass will be less invasive and less painful than a breathing tube for temporary medical situations like surgeries. As a long-term thing, not great.

Would we still feel that desire to "breathe" via our lungs if we're otherwise getting oxygen though?

Maybe the same channel? It did appear to be an enema of some sort, so the evacuation route might be the same. Farting contests might be about to get really intense.
If they filled your lungs with nitrogen so there was no co2 you probably wouldn't notice any sensation of needing to breathe, aside from habit? If this is real?
Combine this with an artificial heart with no beat to really feel like the living dead
thats amazing actually wow!

The butt being able to absorb the oxygen doesn't really also mean that there's a mechanism for the butt to expel the carbon dioxide though. We do that through our lungs by exhaling and we clearly don't expel enough carbon dioxide through non-exhaling methods to keep up with the amount we need to exhale.
The co2 is farded out
That does raise a good point. I don't know human biology well enough to give an educated answer though. If oxygen can be absorbed rectally via this fluid, perhaps the fluid can exchange CO2 the same way though? Or maybe via a different fluid? Bit rough on the ass but any port in a storm I suppose.
I would bet that you would have something equivalent to a phantom limb syndrome but for the diaphragm. I can't imagine something so hardwired and subconscious goes away just because the basic chemical need is satisfied.
Absolutely. Again, way better than suffocating to death but discomfort would be inevitable, at least for a while.
It does and I think this can't work without breathing or some sort of lung life support. This butt oxygen sounds like something that could be a method of adding oxygen for situations where a person can't keep up their spo2 via the lungs, but lungs still need to operate. The co2 heavy blood enters the lung circulation spesifically to expell the carbon dioxide and if that doesn't happen I think we would end up acidic pretty fast.
Dystopian Future novel where the climate is toxic to breathe in so everyone hooks up O2 tanks up their butts
The Authors Not At All Concealed Fetish by Zephyr Boof.
Yeah can you imagine walking around with something up your butt all the time? That sounds... um, terrible...
Scientists should've figured out that this was possible sooner, given how many people talk out of theirs.
good to know, I'll save my lungs for my vape and breathe boring air through my ass instead
and you all laughed at me for breathing through my butt
You weren't just breathing, you were literally talking shit.
The future for those inflation fetish guys is looking bright!
i was thinking really long oral sessions without breaking contact
New endurance sport meta is breathing with your nose, mouth, and ass at the same time
This feels like foreshadowing for the day our overlords start to hook us up to the Matrix to provide energy for their data centers.
This is the future for zoomers who excessively vape. Boomers who smoke cigarettes will die before it's available.
At first I thought this was The Onion and then I realized oh this is a potentially life saving procedure for people with respiratory failure
There's been theorized oxygenated liquid to fill pilots/astronauts' lungs so they can do high G maneuvers without their lungs collapsing, it would be very funny if this is the only way that technology ever actually becomes real. 'Captain, the Martians are gaining on us- red alert! insert the enemas!'
So "blow it out your ass" is simply a call to try a new method of breathing?
Rewatching The Expanse and every time they hit the high G juice button, they're just getting enemas.
Demon slayer 5th form... Butt breathimg
I'm so glad im not in the medical field. Can you imagine having to change someones breathing tube in their butt?
wait, how else have you all been breathing? am i the only one that does this?
On a slightly less dystopian vision, I wonder if this can allow deep(er) sea diving.
