Both are clean so what's the problem?

[–] TheTiltster@feddit.org 51 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (7 children)

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!

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This. And I use more soap on my ass and balls than about anywhere else on my body JUST TO BE EXTRA CLEAN.

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

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

So, what is so holly with the female genitalia that they have to ask this question?

[–] harambe69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Their junk is a bigger hazard if anything. My penis ain't leaking blood or mucus most of the time.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Ladies, do you have a special towel to dry your ass crack?

Comparative illustration of women drying themselves versus men. The woman uses separate towels for bum, hair, and face, whereas the man comically uses one for everything, starting with his bum to genitals, to face.

Additional advantage: using separate towels makes each one less wet, therefore they dry faster. In terms of hygiene I bet mold is significantly worse than using only one towel.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

One side face and hair, other side body and crotch.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 140 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You shower fucking properly so that it doesn't matter wtf

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, cause I wash the fucking towel like a civilized human being.

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (12 children)

You use a fresh towel every day?

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.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (7 children)

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shampoo’s not for body hair. You’re better off with body wash or regular soap.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Idk it works pretty great on my pubic hair, makes it much softer. I'm not over here using it on like my arms legs etc but my bush appreciates it

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

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.

You just got out of a shower. If you washed well, what's it matter?

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 90 points 3 days ago (3 children)

There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:

  1. different bacteria live on different parts of the body, makes sense to use different towels for different parts of the body that don't come into contact much
  2. if when you leave the shower you feel that you can't use one towel for the whole body you should go back to the shower
[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 56 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

If you’re still hung up about your own towel, have you ever considered the implications of oral sex? How is it too whatever to intermingle your own bacteria upon yourself, but it’s perfectly acceptable to subject your partner to an even more invasive bacterial exchange. And if even that extent of biome crossover was sufficiently meaningful, why doesn’t my face smell like pussy yet?

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (5 children)

|why doesn’t my face smell like pussy yet?|

You aren't eating enough pussy. Everyone should eat more pussy. Pussy is fucking delicious.

I hope my balls are clean after I shower.

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.

[–] savutano@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Towel has two sides & two ends. Check mate.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Also four sides and four corners. Use this information with wisdom and not foolishness.

Wait, you guys don’t dip your balls in isopropyl?

I mean they’re clean AND dry afterwards…

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I eat my fiancée's ass like she's hiding crack up there so I genuinely do not care.

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.

[–] BunScientist@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I find this question a little weird, the same thing can apply to women

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do women dry their balls first or last?
