More serious than you'd think.
I just had a conversation where it was pointed out that people in cultures with no bidet just wipe their behinds with toilet paper after they've done their necessities, leaving the rest of the cleaning for when they shower/bathe, which can be latter in the day.
Is that true? :huh:
Or what is it exactly that you do in a bidet-less bathroom to properly clean up after you've done your necessities?

Yep. Though I do wash my hands afterwards.

Yes, depending on how substantive and sticky the residue is the toilet paper is folded the sufficient amount of times and a sufficient amount of force and repetition is used to wipe it clean. Now there is often a small residue. It does not follow, but cultures without bidets usually consider bidet equipped cultures to be unclean on the grounds that they are not known for daily showers and regular hand washing.
I hate you. Don't post threads like this no more.
Yes, it's true.
I've always wonder how a bidet works. How the hell do you not wet every inch of your butt, pants, underwear & the floor.
Keep wiping until the sheet comes back clear.

I always thought the Bidet was for womens issues.. that was until I went to japan and used the robotic toilet seat.

Let's see... I wipe my ass until it's clean.
what I want to know from bidet users. I've never seen bidets in public toilets south of the River Main Line, what do Bidet culture peoples do in public toilets where I have never seen bidets when they need to shit?

No, once you have done your business you press a button and a probe is extended into the center of the toilet bowl. This probe then shoots warm water up in a sweeping motion (creepy). Once this is finished hot air is blown up your ass to dry it (oddly nice).

Wow.
I mean, just doing that really sounds... dirty. We are told that toilet paper is just to remove the majority of it, then the proper cleaning has to be done in the bidet, with soap and water.

Unclean? We think the opposite. Most people do tend to shower (I prefer full immersion baths myself) daily. Hand washing should be quite regular, but I admit I saw quite a few people (all males) leaving the bathroom without washing their hands - I just thought of that as male sloppyness, and it boils down to individual preferences.

After the toilet, you move into the bidet and thouroughly wash your private parts and your butt with water and soap. Face towards the wall for the frontal bits, then turn and clean the rear. The skin is supposed to get wet.
To the side of the bidet there are special smaller towels to clean your privates and rear afther this exercise.
Usually adults have no problem avoiding major water spillage. It's hard to wet the pants - they are either fully removed for the exercise, or put to the side of a leg so as to not be on the way. Some water does go to the floor, but normal people soak it off with a sponge afterwards (I myself have absorbing floors in my bathrooms. Together with the internal exhaustors, any leaked water is gone in no time without any bother from me).

That's really not enough... there are bits of dirt that remain, even if any further scrubbing with the toilet paper does not yield any further results. Hence our use of bidets.

Indeed, public toilets very rarely have them. Which is why they are used as a last resort for anything other than peeing.
What does happen afterwards is that we feel quite dirty after using them (yes, after wiping the butt with toilet paper until it comes out clean) and then go straight to our bidets as soon as we are at home, in order to properly clean ourselves.
How is it that Europeans spend so much time cleaning their ass, but still smell so bad?
I wiped my ass 2 minutes ago.
I'm wiping my ass as you're reading this.
i, too, am wiping my ass. eee pad ftw. :homestar:
I'd like a bidet. But it wouldn't be too useful, since I try to time my shits so I take a shower directly afterward. Since it's only about once every three or four days, this isn't very difficult to properly schedule. (Actually, there was a five day period recently and I was getting a little worried. : / )
My discipline is legendary. I've used a public toilet for defecation thee times in the past decade.
I don't ordinarily wash my hands after urinating, because I don't touch anything other than my dick, which is clean, using my feet to flush, and so forth. However, I will pretend to if there are other people in a public restroom. But conversely to their assumptions, I assume they just whiz all over their hands and have no control.

Although lately, God knows what difference it would make.
I smell bullshit.
As someone coming from a non-bidet culture I think it is a great idea. I hate toilet setups where you cannot lock yourself in a room with a sink for this very reason.
Btw carrying moist wipes in your man-bag works wonders. :)
I dont have the phobia about public toilets either.

Marty's not a criminal lawyer. At least not usually.
The thought of bidets makes me shudder. I`ve never used that function on my loo yet.
I ate a bunch of my Cracklin' Oat Bran at your suggestion, Beeb, and now my stomach hurts. Fiber is good for you? Yeah, right.
Though we're a European nation of the non-bidet variety I feel unclean with loo roll alone. I have moist toilet wipes at home and will go to elaborate lengths to moisten some bog paper for the final sweep when out.
I thought the title read, "Asswhipping". My bad.
