About
Perineum Sunning, also known as Butthole Tanning or Sunning Your Hole refers to the practice of exposing one's anus to the sun for supposed health benefits. The practice has been attempted for several years, but went viral in 2019 following a post by Instagram user metaphysicalmeagan about the practice that attracted media attention.
Origin
The earliest known testimony of someone attempting "perineum sunning" was recorded by YouTuber Tonya Tko on August 13th, 2012 (shown below). In the description of the video, she testified that she felt "ah-may-zen" but that there was no "documentation of this practice's importance" that she could find.
Spread
The practice did not gain popularity online for several years. On May 6th, 2016, YouTube account Solar Anus Yoga posted a video about the practice (shown below, left). It was not until the autumn of 2019 that the practice began getting more online attention. On October 11th, 2019, Instagram health influencer certifiedhealthnut[1] posted a photo of himself doing it on Instagram (shown below, right).
The trend began going viral after Instagram user metaphysicalmeagan posted an image of herself doing it (shown below, left).[2] The picture was covered by Papermag,[3] Rolling Stone,[4] Men's Health,[5] and others. On November 30th, actor Josh Brolin responded that he had attempted the trend and did not recommend it, writing on Instagram,[6] "My pucker hole is crazy burned and I was going to spend the day shopping with my family and instead Iām icing and using aloe and burn creams because of the severity of the pain."
