Hello, Archer. Don't think I've commented, but your insight on such topics is something I greatly appreciate. quote:
The direction of the hook makes some but not all the difference. I did not claim it makes all the difference, just that it makes a difference. quote:
The open whle and the next movement of te bowel concerns me as much if not more than the direction of the hooking which if you're going to do it they chose the lesser of the infection potentials, but it still has not gotten anywhere near the level of safety I need for my own ethics to be met. My ethics are related to informed consent, which involves risk awareness and the capacity to decide. One can consent to medical experiments, DNR orders, and so forth, after all. But I would not do this with my nephandi; I perceive the risk as too high. Which is not to say that I may not find a time, place and person for it. My preference is for professional level medical care, though. That aside, a defecant, two rounds, followed by an enema, should limit the initial infection. Adding something like an oral opioid agonist, an NARI, or maybe an oral anticholinergic, will pretty completely halt peristalsis, i.e. no bowel movements. This is probably unhealthy for extended periods of time, and will complicate nutrition during it. But it should significantly simplify the process of healing the wound. Add something like azithromycin, and possibly a topical antiseptic, and I think you're getting to the point where it fits in the regular RACK, although entirely "advanced level". (Pardon the pun.) That's just a sketch, of course. An idea. The GI tract and infections are not my field. quote:
The draw back trough issue could be avoided by simply pushhing the hook all the way through since the hook is S shaped. Excellent advice, including the bit about needles. Thank you. I'll remember that for other things. quote:
However additional items of concern for me are the fact that the hook appears to be galvanized. Zinc is not an approved of material for hooks used in piercing which are generally stainless steel. The picture did not seem to be a model of how these things are generally done, if such a word can be applied. Also, note the labia resection and (I think) clitoridectomy, both of which appear done outside a hospital, which is damn risky if done with anything but a cautery tool, as far as I know. Compared to that, and the puncture, galvanizing seems a minor concern in comparison. quote:
I'll still hold to my thought that nearly professional medical level awareness of infection would be required for ths specific hooking in order to meet RACK standards. Awareness means informed awareness not casual awareness. ~nod~ Though, I'd say an informed awareness of the risks of casual awareness might qualify, YMMV.
