Yeah, I can't see how rectal would possibly be any faster/better than letting the blotter sit under your tongue. Both wet membranes with lots of capillaries, I cannot conceive ANY explanation that would result in faster absorption. Makes ZERO sense to try. Those who say "it's twice as strong that way" I say: PLACEBO EFFECT. Yes, some people just like sticking things up their ass. No that is NOT an anti-gay or excessively "macho" critique... that's just something some people like, it is what it is.
