    Yes. People have a very disturbed picture of hygiene of their body in general. The genitals are one of the cleanest things on your body, by far - after a good scrubbing under the shower they get put into a (idealy) freshly washed piece of underwear, until the next shower. Your hands, hands, mouth, face, feet and legs touch so much stuff constantly. Phone screens are the dirtiest surface in your whole aplt, probably. Yet you’d rather lick that than eat a nice ass.

      The genitals are one of the cleanest things on your body, by far…

      I don’t know if I’d go that far. It’s not very open to the air (bacterial and fungal dream) and the anus is like right there. After a long sweaty day, shit migrates.

      But I don’t get the fear when using a towel immediately after a shower.

        Wool underwear my friend. No more bad smells, comfort for the whole day, leave em to hang and they’re good as new the next day.

      Asshole is not clean dude. You fart, if you’re smelling it that is literally poop particles you’re smelling. Your butthole is not clean. Everything else sure.

        Yes and no.

        What you are actually smelling are mercaptans, specifically methyl mercaptan (aka methanethiol), hydrogen sulfide, and a few other organic compounds.

        I think if the average person had fecal-vision they would either have a nervous breakdown at the amount of personal body fluids and materials that coat everything we see and touch, or they would have to get over squeamishness immediately in order to keep functioning.

        I promise your phone, right now, has bacteria that are produced in the bowels of a person. It’s also on every surface of your bathroom, on your keyboard, shoes and hands and probably everything else.

        Your body is constantly seeking equilibrium with your microbiome. You wouldn’t want to get rid of that bacteria or you would die.

        If you have good hygiene and don’t let shit dry in your ass cheeks, those areas are actually more likely to be in equilibrium than other parts of your body, because they don’t get sterilized or handle sources of foreign bacteria. Meaning there isn’t a harmful imbalance of one kind of bacteria versus another.

        It’s very easy to test. You take a swab of your ass, your hands and your mouth and let it grow. Can you guess what petri dish is more likely to look like the opening credits to The Last of Us?

      It’s obviously not gay to wipe your butt but every time you poop is excessive. Unless you have some kind of GI issues, once every ten poops is plenty. Anything more than that is just wasteful

        There is ALWAYS residue, you nasty little bugger, the amount just depends of how much your body absorbed the water from the poop before. Sometimes I have shits that require me to wipe a dozen times or more.

        There are 8 billion folks on the earth, and half are guys. I’m sure there are a few who have that thought, but it’s just like anything else: numbers make a mockery of all/none or even most/some claims.

        The part about it being gay is also just for trolling/stupid dunking purposes. I would bet that if you got the people you were asking the question of to read a few books and learn to express themselves, you’d find that most people don’t scrub their asshole because it’s generally seen as dirty and contaminated, so they limit themselves to using the toilet paper, thereby not contaminating their hand or wash cloth in the shower. Nothing to do with thoughts of it being gay or not.

      Because it’s gay to pull back your foreskin when pissing?

      source
      • toynbee@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Pulling back the foreskin makes it way more challenging and uncomfortable to piss. I don’t really discuss the status of my foreskin with anyone, so maybe I’m unexpectedly in the minority, but … What?

    My routine:

    1. Quick rinse of everything with just the hot shower water
    2. Hair shampoo and face wash
    3. Conditioner so that it can sit until final rinse
    4. Phase 1 pass of rear with body wash using just my bare hands, washing hands afterwards
    5. Loofa with body wash over everything aside from face and hair, this includes phase 2 of the rear. Really can go to town back there since phase 1 has been completed
    6. Final rinse

      Similar:

      1. Shampoo then conditioner (no rinse yet)
      2. Wash, in order: pits, crotch, feet
      3. Rinse conditioner

      Steps 1 and 3 are only needed every other day.

      1. Try to get the temperature just right, it’s still too hot when I get in.
      2. Stand under the water for a couple of minutes to get my bearings, and contemplate my life choices.
      3. Rub bar of soap vigorously between legs and under arms, hitting chest, arms, and back suggestively.
      4. Repeat step 2.
      5. Wash face, neck, and ears with wash cloth.
      6. Wash hair. If it’s short, use bar of soap. If it’s long, use shampoo.
      7. Shave, using bar of soap.
      8. Step 2, again.

      ~15 minutes to here, depending on how I’m feeling about myself.

      1. Get out and dry off with the towel that is only used for drying off after a shower, but hasn’t been washed in at least a month.
      2. Comb hair, brush teeth, swab ears, and put on antiperspirant.

    Certain parts like your feet can have fungus diseases, even if not visible. They do not simply wash off and you don’t want transferring those to your face or other parts.

    A single towel is fine if you just had a shower, just dry yourself top to bottom.

    But if you’re only washing your feet you don’t want to use the same towel that you will use to wipe your face.

    I use my towel in the opposite direction of what’s shown here. Although there shouldn’t be an issue if you’ve cleansed thoroughly (and I do), I personally cannot get past the thought of drying my ass and face with the same exact part of the towel. Luckily, I let my face air dry for skincare purposes.
