    in Italy, there is literally a law obligating houses to have a bidet. the separated from the toilet kind.

      That would never fly in the US. They complain about water usage so much that they regulate shower heads so that they barely drip water, and toilets so that they don’t have enough water to flush solid waste. The bidet would just blow the regulators’ heads with all the water usage.

        well… it is time to explain to an internet stranger how we clean our bum.

        • you shit on the toilet
        • you wipe with tp one or two times
        • get up, sit on the bidet
        • water, soap on the hand, and you scrub your ass with your hand, no this is not gay
        • go again with water and soap until you feel your ass is clean
        • dry with a small towel

        the towel is generally personal, and we change it every couple of days.

              Well I mean I do that in the shower, and I don’t wash my hands again after the shower, so I have no idea what the mentality is.

          What part of cleaning your ass could be misconstrued as gay? Feels like an unnecessary aside, haha. Thanks for the step by step though, that makes sense!

            i legit have no idea, but on every tread talking about bitets, there is always someone that discards it because is gay to touch your own ass
