Comment on why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?

  I have never heard that and it deeply disturbs me because this does seem like it’d be an American thing…

    It’s a joke. The phrase is “better dead than red” and is an anti-communist phrase.

    “better red than dead” is a joke - that’s usually a play on political parties or football teams. But what isn’t a joke, something that I’ve heard from american women, is that they’ve dated some american men who:

    • don’t masturbate because touching a penis is gay
    • don’t wash their penis with soap and water, just water, letting the water run down the penis, but not touch it, because you’d be holding a man’s dick in your hands.
    • if they do masturbate, they might just leave their mess on the floor, even if it’s carpet, for years and never clean it. Stains under a computer desk should be treated with a hazmat suit. This is different from the american men who save their mess in jars… I have no comment for that.
    • don’t touch their penis when they pee. that’s what the zipper in the front is for. I mean, doing this in public would mean other men see you with a man’s cock in your hand. That’s … uh you know…
    • don’t get prostate exams (this one may be more self-explainitory, doesn’t make it right though).

    And then they wonder why american men have a mental health crisis. Well, buddy, part of it is you.

      What part of any of that makes it partly because of me? This seem more like an off-topic rant.

      I am an American and the only two I’ve heard is:

      “don’t masturbate because touching a penis is gay”

      Every time has been religion driven homophobia related.

      don’t get prostate exams (this one may be more self-explainitory, doesn’t make it right though).

      Goes back to the last one as well.

      Probably why religion has been on a decline.

        Sorry, not you you… I was refering to the men who do the things I outlined.

        I think that by “you” he means American men. “Damn, we’re having a mental health crisis.” “Part of that is on you.”

        Am I making sense? Sorry if I’m not.
