I lived in West Africa where there was no TP at all. People used pieces of millet stalks to scrape the big bits, then wash anything else away with your left hand and water. It actually does a good job.
TP is objectively weird and inherently the least good job of any way other than doing nothing at all. You just grew up like that and don’t know what the alternatives are and how many of them are much better.

I-is Japan okay… simultaneously being grossed out by toilet paper and it’s a coin-flip whether they use the bidet T_T

Brother eww.
Also, why would I wash it before? What purpose does that even have when I’m shitting all over it literally 2 seconds later?

You’re calling it “washing before”, some of us call it “warm water pre evacuation lubrication”. We are not the same.

I have one of the sprayer handle bidets, and I will often rinse off my balls and taint first. That way they can dry while I take a shit.

I actually never figured out how to use those.

…That’s worse, gimme a country where everyone wipes with toilet paper, rather than a country where roughly half the population are walking around with shit in their trousers.
