Beginning in October 2018, social media users regaled one another with what appeared to be a news article reporting the death of a New York City man who supposedly contracted an E. coli infection by performing analingus (oral-to-anal sex) on his girlfriend. The story they were sharing originated on a disreputable website called Huzlers, who published the article on 5 October. The headline read (grammatical errors in the original): Man Eats Girlfriends Booty for the First Time Dies from E. Coli. The text of the poorly written article reported that: Like everything else on Huzlers, however, it was a complete work of fiction. A blurb beneath the article described the site, which was founded in 2013, as the most infamous fauxtire & satire entertainment website in the world. Huzlers' original catchline was Because you love being lied to, its founder said in a 2015 interview. The line was eventually revised to explicitly state that the site's content was satirical to avoid liability. Despite its fictional narrative, the basic premise of the article may well be worth heeding. Medical experts confirm that E. coli bacteria (and other pathogens) can be transmitted via oral-to-anal contact. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend using a dental dam for oral sex that involves either vaginal or anal contact.
