Why YSK: It’s cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper
Imagine you get your hands covered in sticky filth. Do you wash them at a sink or just wipe them off with some paper and call it good?
Why do any different for your ass?
Because your ass does literally nothing else all day, but your hands touch things like food etc. I’d say it was more like getting shit on your leg. Do you wipe it off or just wait until you next have a shower?
That said I love the idea of bidets, I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant.
My favorite pro-bidet argument from chainsawsuit.com
I’m from the US. While I have travelled to locales where they are commonplace, I never actually tried one. When lockdown and the tp crisis started, however, I purchased one online. I now hate having to use any lavatory that doesn’t have a bidet.
Q - Doesn’t it feel weird? A - No. Some people are worried that it may feel sexual. It doesn’t. It’s just a localized shower on your ass, which is something you hopefully do regularly.
Q - Won’t it just push detritus away from the epicenter and make a mess? A - It can, if the bidet has narrow spray. Mine does this. Just do a quick shimmy that makes the jet draw a decreasing radius spiral.
Q - Doesn’t everything get wet? A - Some bidets have air dryers, but in the absence of, yes. Keep tp in the lav to address this. The quick wipe to address this still saves a ton of tp.
Some people are worried that it may feel sexual.
I… did not know this was a concern? lol
I should clarify that I live in a remote area where a lot of people are homophobes. Anything directed towards one’s ass is, as the kids would say, sus af to these folks.
The I don’t wipe or wash my ass because that’s gay crowd. What a special bunch.
The “let me be hyperfocused on sexualizing other men’s anuses to show how straight and manly I am” crowd.
These people have serious issues. So, cleaning your butt makes you gay? Is toothbrushing OK, though?
