Nama-stay-out-of-the-sun after reading this!
Josh Brolin took to Instagram last week to share a brave and very necessary post about his bad experience trying out the latest social media wellness fad known as “perineum sunning” — aka, exposing your booty hole to the sun.
The fad — and legs everywhere — started to spread last month after an IG healer named Metaphysical Meagan went viral for promoting the practice, which she said is derived from Taoism and promotes health.

According to Meta Meg’s post, perineum sunning “strengthens the organs,” “prevents against the leakage of chi or life force energy from the body,” “increases creativity and creative output,” “amplifies the auric field,” “promotes deeper sleep,” “grounds and connects you to the Earth,” and “aids in a healthy libido & balanced sexual energy.”
Basically, getting penetrated by sunlight is life changing in every way, the healer claims, and you only need “30 seconds of sunlight on the perineum” for it to work!

Sounds like a good deal, right? Brolin thought so, too: he decided to try sunning his own perineum, but apparently glossed over the part of Meg’s post that cautioned:
“The main advice I have that this practice is meant to be done in the time of 30 seconds to 5 minutes MAX in the sun.”
Unfortunately, the Deadpool 2 actor sunned himself a bit too long, resulting in what he described as a “crazy burned” “pucker hole.” (Sadz.)
He wrote on IG:
“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. I don’t know who the f*** thought of this stupid s**t but f*** you nonetheless. Seriously.”
Wow. He sounds charged up!
We guess it worked!?
Brolin’s burned pucker hole quickly became the laughing stock of Instagram. Ryan Reynolds commented a simple, “Bwahahahahahahha,” while Johnny Knoxville gave a punny response, writing:
“Taint’ that a shame!”
Amy Schumer laced her reply with a bit of social commentary, writing:
“This is what will finally get people to react to climate change including me”
Meanwhile, Dave Bautista confessed that he, too, tried — and failed — to sun his perineum, noting:
“Same. Gooch burns a mothaf**ka! ?”
It’s just like that old Greek myth goes: don’t spread your cheeks for too long in the sun, or something like that…
