    I'm something of a germaphobe, actually.

    I'm the opposite. I think bathing too often and taking too many showers is not only bad for the skin (as medical research supports), but that too much avoidance of the world and it's germs leads to a weak immune system. I seldom get sick, shower every other day unless need be (say, I've been working in the garden, and am all muddy), but as for germs, I seldom worry about them. I'm allergic to 99.9% of deodorants, and will use a scented talc instead, generally Caswell-Massey #6, though sparingly.

    They shouldn't cleanse themselves after because they think that we're dirty...

    They should cleanse themselves after because WE make THEM feel dirty after being in our presence. :grin:

    I'm tempted to go out to a bar and touch every guy's shoulder now - supplementing it with a flirtatious comment, of course, to make sure they know what hit 'em. :lol:

    But hey, not all straight men, right? We mustn't treat them badly.

    Fine. If they are that paranoid, let them shower after shaking my hand, using 3 different types of germ killing soap...

    I suppose this is not quite helpful, but if the straight man is good enough looking, I'll be happy to supervise and make sure he scrubs thoroughly. :lol:

    Wasteful!

    Then again, the showers I do take tend to be longer and more of an "all-in-one" experience, so...

    Rather than comment on EC peep posts, I think this is interesting in that it shows some people won't be changing their minds about sexuality that is different from theirs anytime soon. Their views are deeply ingrained. So, they sampled in the UK, Portugal, and Poland. Well, in this mix, there's religiosity, machismo, tradition, and an unhealthy level of concern ... on the part of the worrier. Maybe even paranoia or self doubting.

    i do that after i touch a guy because i always see guys placing their hands in their pants and then i have to shake if he is someone i know ewwwwwwww
    i never do that especially in public >.<
    they have no right to wash from us though i myself can say i clean the house more than my mother does and i always take showers and i brush my teeth everyday and i cant stand having my hands dirty for more than 5 minutes unless its something important
    and btw i wash my hands for no reason sometimes ^^

    Sweet, I can make straight guys uncomfortable not only by crossing my legs and not giving two shits about acting like a regular guy when l don't care to, but also by scientifically-backed proof of lowering their hygiene-related self-worth! Yeeuh!

    Kind of ironic, b/c stereotypically speaking, aren't gay men neater, more fastidious then straight men? Must be the cooties.

    Exactly! One can never underestimate the power of cooties.

    This is one reason I'm gay, because it's a well known fact that all girls have cooties. I think I learned this on the playground in first grade, and am happy not to have caught them =p

    Damn, I knew it. Dem cooties must have gotten to me, infected my brain and turned me gay. So now I am afraid of any contact with the opposite sex :lol: I knew that was to be true. =p

    The article doesn't actually say straight guys; it says straight people. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
