No, Johnny Knoxville's Love Of 'Butthole Sunbathing' Is Not A 'Jackass' Episode

Stick it where the sun does shine?

Just when we thought we’d recovered from Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘vagina steaming’ and Shailene Woodley’s ‘vaginal sunbathing,’ Jackass jokester Johnny Knoxville reveals all the ‘benefits’ of ‘butthole sunbathing.’

Yes, you read that right. Butthole sunbathing. 

Knoxville recently took to Instagram to share a video of ‘Human Teacher/Student’ and ‘Bringer of DAWN’ Ra Of Earth practicing the art of butthole sunbathing.

He starts the video by telling followers that apparently, “in a mere 30 seconds of sunlight on your butthole, you will receive more energy from *this* electric moon than you would from an entire day of being outside with your clothes on.” 

He then pans to three men, lying on their backs, spread-eaglin’ their nether regions out for the sun to sizzle. 

Spare a thought for the hikers who might’ve stumbled across this view from the other side. Wow. 

Knoxville captioned the video, “Thanks to @rickkosick for turning me on to this game changing life hack that allows me to get my fill of vitamin D,” making it extremely unclear as to whether he’s dead serious about butthole sunbathing, or it’s one huge stitch-up.

It looks like a joke, but apparently, giving your toosh a serving of vitamin D is a common practice. Just take self-described ‘pied piper of human liberation’ Troy Casey AKA @certifiedhealthnut. Just four days ago, the Instagrammer shared a photo of himself grabbing his ankles and giving his full moon a bit of sun. 

It doesn’t look like any doctors or healthcare professionals have weighed in on butthole sunning yet, but I’m going to take a wild punt and assume they wouldn’t be down with it. Considering our buttholes don’t always see the light of day, wouldn’t they get seriously burned by exposing the delicate skin to the sun? 

Suddenly, the ‘stick it where the sun don’t shine’ insult bears very little meaning. What a weird and wonderful world we live in.
