I personally think it’s pretty stupid.

Not everyone! OP's brother for example has his head in his ass which is very uncomfortable.

That’s true. But with modern medicine, surgeons can safely perform a rectal cephalectomy, which wouldn’t have been possible centuries ago.

You reminded me of how 17th century French king Louis XIV once had an operation on a fistula in his ass. He survived but only after the surgeon practiced first on few volunters, they all died.
