AIBU to be turned off by unwashed hands and a small package?

I've recently been dating again after a bad experience and long break. I have known this person years and we have chatted quite often so the familiarity is there. 2 things: he has a very small package and the whole thing was just very awkward and it didn't really work. And after a random conversation it turns out that he doesn't wash his hands after going to the toilet (both a wee and poo). I'm really fussy with cleanliness and to me that is very basic hygiene.

AIBU to do a 180 turn on the whole thing? He is trying to make plans to see me this weekend as we speak. My friend says give it another meet up and see as sex is always very awkward at first but it's the hand washing thing aswell.

Break up. You have too many questions.
Tell him why. Tell him straight that you could never entertain a long term relationship with a person who does not WANT to wash their hands after visiting the toilet.

Maybe he'll clean up his act for his next girlfriend.

I could work with a small package.

Not washing hands though, there’s no excuse really is there? Vile.

Oh dear, the hygiene is a big no for me, but if you want to remain friens without brnging his package into it, I'd be inclined to just say that you felt really awkward re the sex, and having been friends for a while it felt a bit like shagging your brother. You've thought about it a lot and are better off as friends (of course) - as long as he doesn't hand you anything! Grimsville!

I had a similar realisation on the hygiene front with a very dear friend lately, and I've now told him that I'm funny about people handling my food in particuar. I just made a bit of a joke of it but it was a bit easier because I wouldn't go there anyway, he has bad teeth, no idea about his package - LOL. Truly lovely guy, that I've recently reconnected with after many years. I bought him some nice handwash at Christmas :D

Op didn't feel awkward about the sex...... She felt nothing at all because it's small!!
Dh knows his package was part of the reason we got into a relationship..
I'm not too proud to say it mattered a lot.

If he doesn’t wash his hands then he will be a grot bag in all areas of life. Run.

Less than 5" long 3" round

Edited to add. A person at the minimum for me would have to be really really good in bed also.

Prefer 6-7" and a 4/5" girth

Somerwerovertherainbow · 22/01/2026 10:13

I feel 4-5 inches girth is huge!! 😂

So is this usual and it’s me who’s just been with slimmer packaged men? Lol

SirOrangePeel · 22/01/2026 12:26

Sorry are those the dimensions for a penis or have we moved on to discussing supermarket cucumbers?

I do too, that would make a penis as big as a Swiss roll!

To be fair, I’d rather have a Swiss roll these days.

Glad it’s not just me!

And you know what, I have no desire for a Swiss roll sized penis 😂 each to their own though!

Just want to reassure you that when I'm out with DH and his mates (all blokey blokes), they name and shame the blokes that don't wash their hands after using the urinals. Not washing your hands after a shit is fucking disgusting and you don't even need to give a reason for dumping him.
