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.

  1. I do not do tiny penises. I don't care if this makes me "shallow"
  2. Hand hygiene is only the beginning. Bet he doesn't wash other areas either 🤮

Summary: Sack him off. You can do better.

This!

We were talking about our typical type of partner we go for, I said mine and I added but one thing that majorly puts me off is people who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet. He then said that he doesn't, why he doesn't and why it isn't an issue 🤯

Oh to sit there and admit it too 😂
Wow.
You should be honest and just tell him, sorry I cant get past the handwashing thing.

You might do him a favour

No need to mention the 🍆 and 🥜 he will already know about that

Fauchon · 16/01/2026 18:31

A huge no on both counts.

Bonkers1966 · 16/01/2026 18:32

I had a guy like that. It just got worse and worse as more and more things started giving me the ick. Save yourself before this goes any further. Btw...the small dick won't quell his sense of entitlement to your body. He will become increasingly puzzled as to why you don't seem satisfied and constantly whine. Ugh

Perhaps if you were shallow you could do a tiny penis

If he doesn't wash his hands very often , then I would also worry about other body parts ! Yuk .

Friend of a good friend of mine, had a boyfriend who didn’t wash much…his knob went MOULDY, yes actual green mould . She told our mutual friend as she unsurprisingly didn’t madly want to sleep with him any more.

Yes I'm the same but have been called shallow for it. And no, hands and mouths don't make it up for it. It just doesn't work. The hand hygiene is just as big an issue. My friend think it's harsh of me to cut it off so quickly and also said maybe I'm asexual?!

You need better friends, or at least friends with higher standards.

Asexual? Your friend is weird.

Yes because I haven't dated/had sex in a very long time and when I do I didn't like it or want to do it again. Hmm I wonder why.

YANBU - no hand washing is foul. I briefly dated a guy who was similar. The journey from his flat to mine was a train, tube and bus. He once got to mine, immediately went to pee (door open, bearing in mind this was only date 3), flushed, and just walked out and said he didn’t need to wash his hands because his penis is clean. Then he ate pizza with hands that had been all over public transport and pee. Safe to say, that was the end of that.

Oh no I couldn't cope with this! The germs 🤢 it does make me wonder how many people actually are that unhygienic. From this post alone it doesn't bode well.

No hand washing is absolutely rotten 🤢

Not having decent bathroom habits are big icks for me, a man that wants to pee/poo behind a closed door, makes sure the toilet is clean and then washing hands is a must

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 16/01/2026 19:05

Yuck 🤮 dirty hands. I wash my when I've come inside you never know whose touched the door handle and how clean they are (after coming down with something really horrible after eating out years ago where I was bed ridden/head down the toilet/sat on the toilet for a week I'm even more paranoid)

Small penis is a turn off as well. I once had sex with someone with a small penis, he kept talking about how small it was before we even got to the sex bit, it was only the once.

Have you tried Amazon Prime? I had a very clean looking delivery driver with a massive package for me. Polite too, smile and called me love and closed the gate.

Was it a good delivery?

shuggles · 16/01/2026 19:10

@MissCooCooMcgoo I do not do tiny penises. I don't care if this makes me "shallow"

This response is always difficult to understand. Given the exhausting and extensive narrative around "dick pics," I thought it was safe to say that most women dislike looking at penises. So why would a man's penis be important in a relationship given that penises are generally considered disgusting?

Cherrytree86 · 16/01/2026 19:12

How small are we talking, OP? @Tink3rbell30

@shuggles

for sexual satisfaction. Is that not obvious?

I do too but the poo germ hands clouded my sympathy a bit. But yeah it is unfortunate for him.

l do wish posters would stop encouraging yet another poo troll.

OP has over 1000 posts going back nearly 2 years, about all manner of different topics. Why would they suddenly now turn into a poo troll?

I missed that comment! 😂 I wish this scenario wasn't true. I'd rather be on a date on a Friday night and having sex with a clean man with a decent size penis rather than asking opinions on a man with a small package and poo hands..

no hand washing nope imagine if he made a sandwich or even a mug of tea or coffee, mauling the mug around handing it to you bleeuukk
as for the other use a vibrator far better than an inadequate that leaves you frustrated
