There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:
Counterpoint to 1: Your microbiome is massive. You are constantly emitting bacteria. It surrounds you in a cloud like Pig Pen from the Peanuts comics. The reason you have different bacteria on your face and balls is not because they can’t get from one place to the other; it is because they can’t survive/compete there.
|why doesn’t my face smell like pussy yet?|
You aren’t eating enough pussy. Everyone should eat more pussy. Pussy is fucking delicious.
What about the bacteria in the towel?
If you are using certain sections of a towel specifically for certain body parts, you dont know what germ theory is.
Counterpoint to 2: I’m just paranoid
You never leave your shower?🥺
This is such an american question.
It’s after a shower. At that point your balls should be as clean as your face, or you’re doing it wrong.
You would be shocked how bad most people are at cleaning themselves. They think just being under running water is enough or only wash upper with soap and the “rest runs down and gets washed”
Been washing my balls n ass since junior high and guys would look at me like I’m insane when i mentioned i shampoo downstairs, is how i came to find out most of them don’t even do basic soap let alone scrub down there
Instead of showering I just roll around in garbage, it fortifies the skin against bees and keeps dangerous people away. It keeps all other kinds of people away too which is a nice bonus.
Yeah, I use shampoo on my balls, ass, front, armpits and hair. Back is a pain so I don’t and I pretend the arms and legs don’t exist cuz I can’t be bothered.
Exactly
Umh…I usually take showers to get clean. So, when I´m done showering (read: when I have successfully finished the task of cleaning my whole body), I use a towel to dry my now clean body. Since my whole body is clean now, I do not distinct between single body parts, because, as previously mentioned, they are all equally clean now.
Hey everybody! This guy touches his butt!
Butt toucher! Butt toucher!
This. And I use more soap on my ass and balls than about anywhere else on my body JUST TO BE EXTRA CLEAN.
But now your chest is less clean and you will end up re-dirtying the EXTRA CLEAN areas.
First it redirects me (301) to a similar url but at images.lemmy.zip
Then the second url gives an internal server error (500).
The other links work.
Perfect Dilbert reference, friend. Lol
The links certainly work.
I also wipe my asshole with that same towel. No particular order. I’m coming out of the shower clean so what does it matter.
I hope my balls are clean after I shower.
this, if anyone os worried about the hygiene of towels, that means they aren’t confident on their shower.
if you’re clean it doesn’t matter if your dry yer anus first.
Ok, but also no, because how many times are you going to use a “clean” towel to dry off? I usually use it twice then wash it.
I have always used the same towel for everything but I do realize now that I pick the towel off the rack and place it over my head the same way, making it so my head gets dried with the “top” of the towel legs with the bottom, and it gets put back on the rod the same direction. So it is possible the ball section of the towel never touches my face, that said… I wouldnt be worried about it anyways. I’m not exactly scared of balls, and they aren’t naturally acidic and even a vaginas acidity (~tomato) level, isn’t dangerous for our skin.
You just got out of a shower. If you washed well, what’s it matter?
I eat my fiancée’s ass like she’s hiding crack up there so I genuinely do not care.
I assume you do, in fact, encounter crack at that point.
Yes, I suppose you’re right.
Indeed, hiding crack in the crack of her crack
Touching your balls is gay.
I had a 9th grade student who didn’t believe that men washed their own asses because it was gay. Yes, he was retarded, but in that behavior classroom kind of way.
We, the students and I, could not convince him otherwise.
Hah, i worked for the military and had to supervise 60-70 guys from 20 to 40 years old. For some reasons bidets came up and the fact that i have one. They thought it was super weird. I said that i’d find it weird if you accidentally touched some poo, clean it off with a piece of paper and then call it a day until you take a shower.
The big takeaway was that no one washed their ass in the shower ever because that’s gay. Man, i too wonder why no one gives them blowjobs.
Washing your ass is also gay.
Just thinking about it is gay.
All day one of your balls is touching another one of your balls. If your balls are gay, you’re as gay as they come.
Oh Gawd, my balls are having gay sex all day!
You lost, Reddit boy?
I find this question a little weird, the same thing can apply to women
Do women dry their balls first or last?
They always dry their ovaries first.
I’m in the 'new towel every day" club.
More people would upvote this but theyre still doing laundry
Both are clean so what’s the problem?
You dry your balls first, then your ass. Then, you get in the shower. After the shower, you use the same towel again to re-apply your musk. Women love it.
Yeah I’m not using a different towel. I’ve just come out of a shower where I’ve scrubbed myself clean.
These threads are always such a fascinating voyage of discovery
Any time I think I’m mentally fucked up, and for sure I am, I see stuff that at least makes me feel better about myself.
Additional advantage: using separate towels makes each one less wet, therefore they dry faster.
No, cause I wash the fucking towel like a civilized human being.
You use a fresh towel every day?
Yes, because I’m not a fucking animal.
Towel has two sides & two ends. Check mate.
Also four sides and four corners. Use this information with wisdom and not foolishness.
The corners are used for cleaning ears
So, what is so holly with the female genitalia that they have to ask this question?
Their junk is a bigger hazard if anything. My penis ain’t leaking blood or mucus most of the time.
Ladies, do you have a special towel to dry your ass crack?
I guess it’s the whole internal vs. external thing
Tag side = balls Non tag side = face
It’s not that hard lol
I always put the tag in the top left corner holding it up. Otherwise the same.
Do you use one towel or a fresh towel everyday.
I have a fresh towel everyday. My current partner thinks I am absolutely insane for this. A 6 pack of basic decent bath towels is $35 shipped online. My partner came from a more affluent family than me and makes more money than me but I still think this is worth spending $35 on once every like 5-7 years until the towels wear out.
Their argument is that you come out of the shower clean but that’s not really true. You come out less dirty still with bacteria, skin mites, dead skin cells, fungi, etc that get transferred to that towel. It’s probably fine to reuse it for a few days assuming the towel dries in between uses (which it may not, given the humid environment of a bathroom, especially if shared), that you don’t have weird situations going on (athletes foot, bacterial acne, etc), and that you’re not sharing it. But why bother when again a weeks worth of towels is like $40 and slightly more laundry. Yuck
I think you have a humidity problem if your bathroom is humid all the time.
You’re forgetting the cost of an extra laundry load for those towels each week.
Fresh towel already has bacteria and fungi on it before you dry yourself with it.
Do you change your sheets every day? It’s your own bacteria anyway. As long as you’re not sharing the towel it’s fine for multiple days. A fresh one is just wasting time and water on laundry.
You need to air out your bathroom more or get a dehumidifier if yours is constantly humid. If your towels dont dry I wonder how you dont have mold growing on the walls.
Do you use a fresh dishcloth/kitchen sponge every time you wash up?
re: mythbusters ep 135.
They didn't test towel unfortunately unless there was a follow up that i cant remember.
I cycle the kitchen towel every few days (sooner if there’s a spill). I replace the sponge twice a month because I haven’t found a sponge at any price that doesn’t completely fail apart and look gross after doing dishes for two weeks or so.
I’m raising a child, so it’s probably a little more intense for me.
Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that’s the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.
Wait, you guys don’t dip your balls in isopropyl?
I mean they’re clean AND dry afterwards…
Of course not! I lick it clean first!
The butt is the dirtiest part of the body so I usually just remove yesterdays towel from my ass and then insert today’s towel right up there while shaking like a dog to air dry
One side face and hair, other side body and crotch.
To avoid using the same are for my butthole before my face, I always use the left side of the towel on my upper body and the right side on my lower body. I always keep the left side on the left so I can keep track.
The trick is to put on your bathrobe, do other things, and when you’re dry, manually dry the parts that weren’t covered by the bathrobe. Maybe in the meantime I can do something else, which is more efficient.
I use 4 towels. Hair, face, body, and genitals. And for those saying you should be clean, that’s all fine for yourself, but would you let your mother kiss your face when you know you wiped it after your ass? Yeah, no thanks.
Hmm… Two towels? One for body, one for head (hair and face).
