The latest health trend is just as embarrassing as it is ridiculous.
Remember last week when we told you about butthole-sunbathing?
Yes, it's a real thing - and now a famous Hollywood actor has been seriously injured for participating in the activity.
Actor Josh Brolin tried out the "perineum sunning" craze, which touts the alleged benefits of tanning the thin area of skin between the anus and the vagina or penis. The practice has recently gained steam after a video posted by holistic influencer Ra of Earth suggested such "sunning," claiming that it provides one with “more energy from” the sun in 30 seconds “than you would in an entire day being outside with your clothes on.”
Another influencer, who goes by MetaphysicalMeagan, also made headlines for her similar claims of "perineum sunning" for the benefit of health or energy.
However, what Ra of Earth apparently failed to mention was to not overdo it with vitamin D — a lesson Brolin learned the hard way.
“Tried this perineum sunning that I’ve been hearing about and my suggestion is DO NOT do it as long as I did. My pucker hole is crazy burned and I was going to spend the day shopping with my family and instead I’m icing and using aloe and burn creams because of the severity of the pain,” Brolin shared on Instagram, along with a string of curse words calling out the “stupid” trend that may in fact be detrimental to one’s health.
