  • COLORS 82 - SHIT a Survival Guide
    COLORS 82 - SHIT A survival guide Treviso, November 2011. Feces. Excrement. Stool. Poo. Caca. Its name changes but not most people’s reaction to it. Poo is something we ignore or treat with disdain. It repels us. It’s kept behind closed doors and never mentioned in polite company. But in its new issue, Shit. A survival guide, COLORS looks straight down the pan, exploring the truths behind the taboo, and the reasons why we should start to take shit seriously. Today some two-thirds of the world’s population have no toilet or latrine. They relieve themselves at the roadside or in fields, contaminating water sources and food. Over 90% of diarrhea is caused by the contamination of food, water, or fingers with shit, and although diarrhea is just a banal intestinal virus for those with a toilet, every year it kills more people than AIDS, malaria and TB combined. Feces is a weapon of mass destruction and a nightmare of biological pollution, but it is also a fuel and a fertiliser. It can heat, feed, cure. It’s the world’s most underrated resource, and it can save lives. In Butare prison in Rwanda, the inmates’ shit is treated and turned into biogas, which is then used to cook their meals. In New York, the fecal transplants carried out in Dr Brandt's clinic may seem like torture, but they have a 91% success rate in treating Clostridium difficile, an infection that kills 100,000 people a year in the US and Europe alone. So how do you persuade people to start taking shit seriously? How do you encourage them to build a toilet, or dig a pit latrine? Like an ordinary tourist, Virginia Chumacero asks the inhabitants of Aramasi, Bolivia, to give her a tour of their village.

    DR MATLEY & PARTNERS Surgeons 101 Constantiaberg Tel 797 1755 Harfield House, Kingsbury Tel 683 3893 135 Vincent Pallotti Tel 531 0097 ANAL IRRITATION These notes should help you understand how it happens and how to deal with it. What causes anal irritation? The most common cause of anal irritation is inappropriate anal hygiene by the patient. Many documents will blame seepage of faeces and moisture and anal hair. While these may contribute in some patients, they are not, in fact, the primary cause in the majority. Other conditions may contribute, but they are all rare. They include allergies, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, worms, eczema and psoriasis and fungal infections. Other causes include fleshy anal skin tags, anal fissure and prolapsing haemorrhoids, however the most common cause is assiduous, over-cleansing of the anus. What is the management? The doctor needs to take an extremely thorough history, especially about the exact details of how you clean your anus. The doctor needs to exclude the less common conditions mentioned above and he would probably need to examine the rectum and possibly the colon with a scope. Once the doctor is satisfied that there is no disease or predisposing abnormality causing your symptoms, then he needs to advise the patient how to treat themselves. “THE ANUS THRIVES ON NEGLECT” This slightly amusing mantra is absolutely correct. Modern behaviour has resulted in over-zealous attempts to avoid infection in our society. This ranges from the extreme hygiene of food we buy, the decline in exposure to pets and other old fashioned sources of community acquired infections.

  • Guide to Vaginal / Anal Play
    Guide To Anal and Vaginal Play for Women and Men Most of the following techniques apply to both vaginal and anal play for women and men. *Bowel Movements – It’s best to have a bowel movement just before or 1-2 hours before, then anal douche with warm water using a 1 cup bulb syringe or enema bag before anal play. Make sure you’re completely evacuated and clean. Learn your cycle, everyone is different but it usually takes 6-8 hours from the time you eat to the time you have a bowel movement and you normally have a bowel movement for each meal you eat. If you eat before anal play make sure it’s a light meal. *Toys – Use only toys made from silicone. Never use toys made from other rubber materials as they leach out harsh chemicals that may cause allergic reactions. Clean your toys with soap and hot water and store them in a clean dry place between use. Never store toys in plastic or air tight containers as this will promote bacteria growth. A cloth bag or pillow case is perfect, then store them in a clean laundry drawer. Heating your toys by soaking them in hot water before use will enhance your experience. *Lube – Use plenty of thick, water based lube, the more the better. We recommend Cinnalube due to it’s hypoallergenic properties, thick consistency, and slipperiness. Use lube both internally and externally, squirt some thick lube, about 5-10cc, into your anal canal using a nozzle tipped syringe prior to anal play.
