Jap students are putting their health at danger in a new-fangled eyeball-licking trend called “worming.”
The latest trend, also known as “oculolinctus” is allegedly an expression of fondness amid young lovers.
It is said:
The bizarre fetish has led to a surge in cases of eye infections and can even cause blindness, doctors have warned.
It seems that, eyeball licking is considered to be the new “second base” for Japanese kids. Teachers first started noticing an uptick in students wearing eye patches. They initially blamed it on a fashion trend, only to find out it was actually a rush in conjunctivitis, or pink eye.
In one classroom of 12-year-olds, one third of the students confessed to “worming” or being “wormed.”
Eyeball licking is apparently the new type of French kissing in Japan. The strange cult, can also lead to the spread of chlamydia.
A local teacher described his incident catching two students in the middle of the act:
After class one day, I went into the equipment store in the gymnasium to tidy up. The door had been left open, and, when I looked inside, a male pupil and a female pupil had their faces close together and were kind of fumbling around. Could it be bullying? I wondered, but when I had a good look, the boy was licking the girl’s eye! Surprised, I shouted, ‘What are you doing? Stop it at once!’ And the two of them were so shocked they jumped apart. The girl burst into tears, and the boy just went bright red and was shaken up. At any rate, to try to calm them down I took them to the janitor’s room and listened to their story.
The students told Mr. Y that they were licking each other’s eyeballs — it was the subsequent step after kissing.
The student went on to say,
It’s not just us two anyway. Everyone’s doing it.
The student was correct.
Another local Japanese teacher described how the performance has been well-liked between students since the start of the school year.
From the beginning of this year, styes were practically epidemic in my class. At first, the staff didn’t pay much attention to it, but when there were five kids or 10 kids in a single class who all had eye patches, it really caught the attention of the adults.
Eyeball licking isn’t limited to Japan.
Elektrika Energias, 29, from the U.S. Virgin said:
My boyfriend started licking my eyeballs years ago, and I just loved it, I’m not with him anymore, but I still like to ask guys to lick my eyeballs. I just love it, because it turns me on, like sucking on my toes.
San Diego ophthalmologist Dr. David Granet said:
Nothing good can come of this. There are ridges on the tongue that can cause a corneal abrasion. And if a person hasn’t washed out their mouth, they might put acid from citrus products or spices into the eye.
Energias said she wasn’t resistant to the setbacks of her eyeball-licking obsession.
She said;
I got some weird offshoot of TB in my eye once. I ended up with corneal ulcers, and I spent like a month in the hospital. I’m just safer now, I guess. Live and learn. I mean. they don’t really make tongue rubbers, but maybe they should.
