A disturbing so-called “trend” among younger Japanese school children has become one of the most popular recent threads on internet compilation site Naver Matome.
The post below, which has already been retweeted over 10,000 times, gathered information from the Japanese internet about eyeball-licking in an grade 6 elementary school class (usually aged around 12 years old), claiming that for the students of the school it is apparently part of normal dating practice among their peers.
But netizens were truly shocked by the post with many unable to understand why on earth eyeball licking might have become so popular. But like all such Internet stories, the so-called “eye-ball licking” trend should be taken with a pinch, or maybe a lick, of salt.
From Naver Matome:
Eye Patches Trend in Class?
“Eye Patch Now” (Indie Music Information)
Reference: bandup.in
“From the beginning of this year, styes were practically epidemic in my class. At first the staff didn’t pay much attention to it, but when there were five kids or ten kids in a single class who all had eye patches, it really caught the attention of the adults. Even when homeroom teachers, who thought it strange, would question the students, all they’d say was that they didn’t know anything about it. We held an emergency staff meeting about this strange occurence, but the cause of it remained unclear.”

Is Eyeball-Licking The Reason For The Eye Patches?
“After class one day, I went into the equipment store in the gymnasium to tidy up. The door had been left open, and when I looked inside, a male pupil and a female pupil had their faces close together and were kind of fumbling around. Could it be bullying? I wondered, but when I had a good look, the boy was licking the girl’s eye! Surprised, a shouted “What are you doing? Stop it at once!” and the two of them were so shocked they jumped apart. The girl burst into tears, and the boy just went bright red and was shaken up. At any rate, to try to calm them down I took them to the janitor’s room and listened to their story.” (Aforementioned Mr. Y)

After having persuaded the two of them, who were as quiet as mice, he tried to ask them about what had happened. They told him bit by bit. The two of them had moved up to year 6 this year and were going out together. As an extension of acts like kissing and touching each other’s bodies, they were licking each other’s eyeballs. When Mr. Y asked them why they were doing such a thing, the male pupil said, “Because it’s popular in our class. It’s not just us two anyway. Everyone’s doing it…”
Mr. Y immediately told the school staff the story. A classroom assembly for the year 6 students was held, and when each homeroom teacher questioned the students, it was revealed that a surprising one third of the kids had done “eyeball licking”, or had had their eyeballs licked.

Does It Feel Good To Have Your Eyeballs Licked?
I’ve never done it, but the eyeballs are mucosal membranes, so I think that is a factor which means the eyeball could well be an erogenous zone. But to lick such a place…I think that the sense of corruption that comes from doing that probably also increases sexual tension.

The Dangers Of Eyeball Licking
The eyeball can be prone to bacterial conjunctivitis caused by a bacteria called trachoma, which if left untreated can damage eyesight irreversably. By the way, trachoma is the same bacteria as the bacteria that causes chlamidiya. If you have sexual contact with someone, including eyeball licking, without realising that you are infected with trachoma, there is the possibility that you could also be infected with chlamidiya. A friend of mine got infected with chlamidiya from someone with trachoma without knowing, and almost died from a ruptured fallopian tube during an ectopic pregnancy. It appears that young people today will engage in eyeball licking as though it’s completely normal, but I think that they’d be better off if they stopped.

WTF?

Scary!
Giichi_KADAKUTE:
Look, the thing with eyeballs is that no matter how much you lick them or get them licked, it won’t turn you on — this makes even less sense to me than scatology. It’s just stupid, there’s excitement. Just an unpleasant sensation.
