10 Quirks Of Evolution That Are Ruining Your Life

9. The Proximity Of Your Urethra To Your Rectum

The absurdity of putting "a playground next to a sewage system" has been well rolled over in the realms of comedy, but it doesn't make it any less true, or any less annoying.

On the sexy side of things, having these two crucial yet different parts of your anatomy in the same neighbourhood opens you up to a world of "wrong hole" possibilities. Not to mention the fact that a topsy turvy move such as the 69 (or whatever you kids are calling it these days) could well result in one or both parties ending up with a butthole perched delicately on the tip of their nose. Although, depending on what you're into, this could be a good or bad thing.

On the unsexy side of things, your pee-pee and your poophole being such best buds puts you at high risk of infection because, incase you didn't know, butts are dirty.

The bacteria from your rectum can be easily transferred to your urethra by incorrect wiping technique (front-to-back, ladies), poor hygiene, careless sex or just general bad luck. This coupled with short urethrae can lead to UTIs and bladder infections which, as anyone who has had one will tell you, are literally the worst.

All this said, it's kinda difficult to think where else it could go. An anus in the palm of your hand is probably not going to be any more pleasant.
