Why don't people wash their butt after pooping?

[Anonymous]

I always wondered? In my culture we grew up washing out asses and then drying it with toilet paper. We use like a watering can or a sprayer to clean our ass then use the toilet paper to dry that area (by the time were done the toilet paper we wipe our ass on becomes clear).
So why is it that people don't clean their ass like that? I mean, imagine if you got mud or nutella on your hand and instead of washing it off you wipe it with a toilet paper. Is it clean?
I'm kinda worried that if I were to have sex the guys dick might taste like pee or his ass hole have shit on it or smell like shit lol. I'm just so paranoid!

I have been with an Egyptian Muslim whom I Married out in Egypt 4 years ago. They do Not use toilet tissue but Soap and water Instead and this was Fine by me.
It's strange but even before I met him and flew out to be with him and we got married, I Always used Toilet paper First and then After Everything, I Grabbed the soap and water and have never Faltered from my Daily routine.
I have found that Muslims are the Cleanest sort of guys. Being a wife, my husband always made sure that after we made love, I ran right to the showers.
Of course in Dating Others who were Not Muslim, with not even having had to have sex with them, they always smelled like shower soap and cologne which told me they were Fresh as a daisy and Not lazy in hygiene at all.
Believe me here, dear, you will know what you are in for when you both Get... Close enough before the Magic Moment.
Good luck. xx

Do you still use soap and water instead of toilet paper? This is hard to imagine doing as a woman. I mean, we drip and make a mess even when we urinate. It makes me think of what might get on to our clothes around our ankles or on the bathroom floor. It just seems like a messy way to go to forgo it altogether.

Where exactly are Muslims doing this washing up?--over the toilet or right in to the bathtub?

When I am in my own wc (bath) I Normally First just put a little sweet smelling spray on some toilet paper. When I stand up, I go to the sink and dab a Drop of water and a Drop of soap to myself and no Mess at all. I am Not taking a bath in the sink, don't forget. lol
When In Egypt, they have the sprayer in the toilet that they turn on and do this and it is the way they clean themselves. xx

"I mean, imagine if you got mud or nutella on your hand and instead of washing it off you wipe it with a toilet paper. Is it clean?"

Way to make me think. :/

Personally, I have wipes in the bathroom for times like this. I'd be mortified if I left the washroom only to know that I could be receiving some oral sex shortly afterward and things just wouldn't taste right for him. I too, prefer him to shower up before I go down on him also.

But aside from all of that, who needs the stains on the underwear?

Anyway, I'm with you. Great reminder that everyone should wash up properly after pooping. I think a lot of people don't in many cultures because there are no bidets and people don't think to buy wipes, and most of all, the think if the toilet paper came out with no more marks, then that should be good enough. :/

Why are you paranoid? you eat shit everyday? its called bio-solids and its on organic or non organic produce. It is the very best way to control human waste.

do not believe me?

Because western culture has some oddities, mostly that despite creating the internet, our toilets still don't allow basic hygiene. I would normally wipe with toilet paper, THEN use a shower and soap to wash my butt, and THEN dry it with a towel. That is what I do at home.

It's weird that you literally cannot do that or anything similar in a work environment, where all you have is a single cubicle with no taps.

Oh, and your paranoia is totally valid, many guys think using toilet paper after peeing is "too feminine", so their dicks possibly taste like pee. All over. Yum.

May i ask where you are from or your cultures? And well honestly there are cleaning wipes for that. usually you wipe enough that their is no poop and surely piss wouldn't be on someones junk. Im sure people wash off anyway the see fit and its all taken care of.

In Japan they have the perfect toilets. You can even control some Japanese toilets from your smart phone I think.

These toilets are practical, you can't shower every time you poo. I mean what if you are a person that poos 3 times a day you can't have 3 showers, just not practical.

"I'm kinda worried that if I were to have sex the guys dick might taste like pee or his ass hole have shit on it or smell like shit lol."

That's a level of sex preparedness that's way above the call lol

honestly i think its just our brain washed society that thinks that TP is the only way to go... if you think about it, before toilets, toilet paper wasn't even necessary! we created a solution for a problem that didn't really exist (squatting to take a shit), so now we can sell you toilet paper for the rest of your life! i really think its something to make money! the way you describe it, would be much less lucrative for 'the man' lol

It is truly astounding that people still "hail toilet paper" as being a modern hygienic approach to cleaning up at the toilet. For most it has not changed for years and years despite so many advances in other areas. The modern solution should be to clean with water and the best way to do that is with a Hand Bidet Sprayer. 10X better than smearing with wads of toilet paper and it's healthier too, not to mention all the money it saves you. See www. bathroomsprayers. com.

I generally take a shower after I crap if I'm at home. If not, I just take one when I get home.

[Asker]

That's good to know. Why not use a water bottle though?

[Zigzagz]

That seems more difficult, plus I like to use soap.

[TripleAce]

Because you can wet toilet wipes that are flushables

Feels like a quick shower every time

[Bandit74]

I generally only go once a day and I time it so I go before I take a shower

[Krushhbrownies]

Same in my culture. We wash it thoroughly with soap and since that's the case I shower because it's convenient.

[bubbletrouble]

Nobody has time for that only some Asian cultures do that

I have a bidet at home. It's an anglo-American thing. Quite barbaric in my opinion.

[planetnumb]
