Wiping cock on hand towel...

Title says it all really. DS is fascinated by watching DH pee so he follows him off to the bathroom and the door was left open. I walked by to see DH drying his penis on the hand towel. Apparently it's what he always does, news to me though.

This is rank, right? Or is it a universal thing?

This thread has totally made my day! Is anyone else going to be looking for people in public toilets carrying cup of water now? Grin

ViviPru · 14/09/2011 11:17

I'm struggling to imagine how any of this cup/teapot/lid fanny douche business actually plays out - gravity dictates surely that the water is pouring down from said receptacle, but the parts to be washed are up. Baffling, frankly.

Graciescotland · 14/09/2011 11:18

Maybe I should wash too Blush

I think it's a Muslim thing. They have these little pots with a spout in most islamic countries. In posh toilets there they have a jet inside the bowl, when you turn a tap it squirts water up at you!! I had one in my appartment when I went to Turkey on holiday recently.

In an Indian restaurant I went to last week there was an empty 2 pint milk container next to the loo in the ladies. I did wonder if this was a makeshift fanny teapot!

I wonder if there is a relative statistics for relevant infections "down there" due to one method of self-cleansing vs the other.

Maybe it has something to do with cultures in hot climates? After all these "pork is dirty" belief is most widespread in the hot climates too (pork goes off quickly and does not give a characteristic whiff, so poses more dangers to people further down South)... Just a guess.

HIL-arious thread.

All determined that a MAN who WASHES then DRIES is disgusting.

But when a woman does it, it's starting to make some of you question yourselves.

Bidet towels..... But a bidet is another discussion. In most some european countries hand towels, bath towels and bidet towels ...simple..

Skippyboo · 14/09/2011 11:22

BelfastBloke, as a basic rule of thumb, I tend to determine that ANYTHING a man does is disgusting.

It's a useful starting point Grin

tootiredtomakeupagoodname · 14/09/2011 11:23

Knitted do you take teapot into bathroom everytime, or does it just sit on the window ledge/shelf?

bemybebe · 14/09/2011 11:23

I actually think it is more hygienic not to pour questionable water (usually it is not drinking water in the public loos) from questionable containers onto sensitive bits. Urine itself is sterile. Daily showers (with or without full soap) are more than adequate for normal people... me thinks.

PeneloPeePitstop · 14/09/2011 11:24

Surely washing properly morning and evening is hygienic enough?

Skippyboo · 14/09/2011 11:25

Look, the way I see it is that I've never washed after a wee, but have always thoroughly washed my hands. I seem to have survived this method, am very healthy and haven't died from it yet.

Job's a good'n.

bemybebe · 14/09/2011 11:25

by "normal" I mean "healthy"
(quickly before someone accuses me of cultural insensitivities)

Graciescotland · 14/09/2011 11:27

Belfast it's not the washing and drying it's more of the use of the hand towel which is for hands surely?

I would have thought that splashing a bit of water from a cup! around is more likely just to spread the germs about.

If anyone's starting a study, I wipe after wees and poos although I often have a shower straight after the latter. I've never had a uti, thrush or any other sort of vaginal infection.

MrsBuntysStrangeCuldeSac · 14/09/2011 11:28

Logistically though it's easy to stick your cock under the tap for a quick rinse, which I'm assuming is how OP's DH does it. The whole fanny teapot thing sounds like hard work. Does he use the hot or cold tap, OP?

BelfastBloke · 14/09/2011 11:28

Hands, noses and penises.

Come on. Everyone knows this...

BellaneyMimphus · 14/09/2011 11:29

I bet it's quite nice sticking your cock under running water but you'd want the temperature to be just so, wouldn't you? Our sink has freezing or scalded-glans temperature, nothing in between.

MrsBuntysStrangeCuldeSac · 14/09/2011 11:31

You've lost me, Belfastbloke, is it a song?

Isn't the plural 'peni', anyway?

Graciescotland · 14/09/2011 11:32

It's a mixer tap, I suspect cold though as DH isn't patient enough to wait a minute for water to run hot. I think it's more head than whole Penis though tmi sorry

This talk of bidets reminded me that Beyonce called one of her albums B Day.

SnakeOnCrack · 14/09/2011 11:35

HAS HE HEARD OF TOILET PAPER?

Dirty dirty bastard. I feel sick.

MrsBuntysStrangeCuldeSac · 14/09/2011 11:37

Blush I suppose I did ask...

BelfastBloke · 14/09/2011 11:37

Lol at Gracie apologising for tmi at THIS point in the thread!

Hand towels are for hands, yes. But also for noses and penises, surely? And feet.
