If you happened to touch shit with literally any part of your body other than your asshole, would you be happy with just wiping it with a piece of dry paper, or would you immediately go wash it?

I have no more questions...

Btw, don't even get me started if you have a hairy butt.

It's like trying to wipe peanut butter out of a shag carpet.

Does your asshole touch a lot of surfaces?

Mine mostly just touch my underwear...

[-] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

So you're OK with your asshole having some shit remaining on it because it only touches your underwear?

I feel for your SO.

Ok, this is fascinating.

This thread was about wiping with paper after going to the toilet, this was not a thread about general cleanliness.

I shower every day, this obviously includes wasing my asshole.

So now, I want an answer to this question.

What in this entire thread gave you the impression that I never wash my asshole?

I stand by what I wrote, wiping after using the toilet is fine, it obviously is a temporary solution until the next proper shower, but that is fine.

I think the main takeaway here is that you recognize washing is the appropriate thing to do, but are OK with a temporary wipe until your next shower. People are saying with a bidet you don't have to wait, you use wash each time.

I agree it's gone off the rails and I'm partly to blame. I just don't understand peoples reluctance to use bidets.

frankly once you go water you simply cannot go back
