Biting your nails, swallowing sick, picking your nose, licking blood and sex are all as close to cannibalism as we can legally get, sex especially, technically you can devour yourself, eat your own flesh but that's lonely, true cannibalism requires a pair, and kissing and sex allow you to swallow parts of another person more than anything else - breastfeeding is similar too but not socially acceptable for people over a certain age, much like picking your nose, biting your fingers, and licking blood are socially unacceptable. I think everyone should be in awe of everything their body makes, even shit, piss, and vomit. Our bodies can break things down and turn them into something completely different, milk and pepsi and vodka all get turned into the same thing - Pizza and ice cream do too, there are only a few things that go through our digestive systems unchanged, even then, that undigested piece of food still gets to touch the deepest parts of our digestive system that almost no humans get to touch. We are organisms and we have DNA and mucus and cells and we should share all of those things. We are constantly making mucus and I think that is so amazing, so much of the water we drink makes our spit and discharge and piss and our bodies are just constantly trying to get wet. And we can have an effect on one another's bodies and we can spread infections and sores that never leave and we can make new life, and even when we can't we are brought together by all the things our bodies make.
