How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn't poo go everywhere?

It just seems so weird.

Can you explain washing your hands? It seems so weird. Doesn’t the water just drip back on the sink? Do you dry your hands with paper after?

What seems weirder is using paper alone to wipe away feces from your body and doing nothing else during a bowel movement to clean yourself. I cannot understand my own countrymen’s aversion to using them. Squirting your asshole with water does’t make you gay.

    Why are you making out like OP is stupid for asking questions about something they clearly just don't know much about? You could have just answered the questions.

    Or, quite possibly, reading others' answers to a question doesn't require another response from the questioner no matter how delicate your sensibilities may be. Or maybe OP just is less terminally online than you and hasn't been back to lemmy since posting this yesterday at 20:03, which is what, 12 whole hr ago during the holiday season?

    Squirting your asshole with water does’t make you gay.

    Are you sure though? I’m scared to test this theory.

    If you’re scared of being gay you might actually just be gay.

    In all seriousness though, everyone should get a hand bidet installed on their toilets ASAP. Once you squirt your asshole with water to clean the poop off you will immediately realize how disgusting you’ve been up until that moment in your life using only flimsy ass ass paper to wipe shit off your body.

    I swear, Puritanism really did a number on North America.

    In the US only the rich have bidets. Do you have an electrical outlet right near your toilet? I don’t want cold water spraying my ass and getting an outlet installed near the toilet in an apartment I don’t own is very expensive.

    1. Your anus can’t feel temperature that much so cold water hitting it really isn’t that big of a deal.
    2. Warm water bidets don’t use electricity, they use a hot water tap from the near by (and generally easily accessible) bathroom sink. Sure you might need to drill a hole in a cabinet but it’s not outrageously inaccessible or expensive to setup. You just need to watch like 2 plumbing youtube videos.
    3. I live in the US. I am not rich. I have a bidet—it is a hand nozzle attached to my toilet’s water tap that cost $30.

    As someone who has one of the non electric bidets installed and was afraid of having a puckered asshole the first time I used it, it's not that cold. And it's so worth it. I can't go back and will have a bidet everywhere I live in the future.
