Question: The Good Old Bidet - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Miaplacidus · 17th Nov 2008, 09:34 AM

I've always wondered about something kind of nasty...

Bidets are uncommon in most countries (Uruguay being an exception, a bathroom without a bidet is basically impossible to find). Then, in countries such as the USA, how do people, well, wash themselves after "number 2"? I can't think of a way other than taking showers every time...

(For those who don't know, like Helen, bidets are for washing one's genitalia and butt, not feet)

Um-you don't. Unless you take a shower, we just use toilet paper.
I don't really see how it's necessary unless your butt smells really
bad or something.

I feel like such an idiot now XD

I was always told they were for feet......*looks away shamefully*

Most of us don't bother because we are all so severely overweight that the effort to clean our bodies afterwards is just too great. All this talk about toilet paper is nonsense. Don't believe it. We also tend to watch television and play video games in our washroom/bathroom/toiletcarrying area. Therefore, we forget about the business at hand and watch as Angelina adopts yet another child. And then of course, we hold onto our guns for dear life. Just imagine putting down our firearms! Pfft.

This is what North American non-bidet-ing life is like.

There also a good way of soaking socks. But if you are really looking for a bum-wash, I would strongly recommend the Japanese toilets: they have a little mechanical thing that comes out and squirts (warm) water with a slight rocking movement, then blow dries you. It is very very pleasant, even if you don't need to go!

Ew. I'm not having sex with you... :S

(This was meant as a serious thread by the way)

Toilet paper is about all we have here... although I personally will shower after using the bathroom if I plan on fornicating later.

I'd like to have a bidet someday.

I do clean up before sex, obviously.

But thanks.

SCIENCE MODE

Actually washing after excremennting isnt as hygenic as it sounds. You also wash off alot of enzymes and natural anti-bacterial compounds that help keep you clean and prevent diseases. Toilet paper - previded you have normal dietry functions is sufficient to clean the excriment without getting rid of the enzymes.

NORMAL MODE

lol sorry im a science geek

lol

I DO wash when it's necesary, just not every time I go to the bathroom.

Having been a cultural interchange student to Brazil in 1998-1999, upon returning home to the civilized USA (LOL), I have often wondered why we don't pleasure our backsides and keep them sparklingly clean with such wonderful devices.

I think we're backwards...
