cbenghauser, Don't feel bad that some ignorant people are nay-saying your post, I agreed with it. Psychology would say that after all that hard work of sticking something into such a small place and all the pain involved as well as the cleanup afterwards, that anyone who puts forth that much effort into something is going to think it is a good thing and nothing is wrong with it. Nobody wants to believe that something that they did themselves willingly caused their illness.
Of course there could be other causes besides "you know what", such as chronic constipation since there could be damage to the intestines that way as well. I hope the negativity doesn't detour you from posting here anymore. :)
