- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it
(I wash my hands so much they bleed)
I had a friend like this. He offered to go to Thailand with me and my daughter for two weeks and it broke him. (Of at least this fixation.)
There is no way to keep up the habit, everything is dirty and it ends up being fine. By the time he got home the impulse just wasn't there.
Amateur. Try translating that to butt wiping my guy.
My butthole is also effected by my compulsions
:(
I've never understood that. I have 2 friends that do that (self reported/needing baby wipes when camping).
Toilet paper is pretty gross, to be fair. A travel bidet and some sphagnum moss will leave the cheeks squeaky clean.
Travel bidet? Omg, I looked it up. They exist, but look to be repurposed enemas.
I have a usbc rechargeable one that I can attach a 1L bottle to when traveling. Don't leave home without it. Only downside is Tsa loves to pull it out and ask about it. I'm getting used to it.

It's like a high pressure watergun with a hook. It doesn't have to go in the out door if you don't want it to.
I do the same. I told an ex nurse friend that and he said it might be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquagenic_urticaria
That appears to be one of the rarest medical conditions on Earth.
I hope you'll get better.
I shall earnestly avoid water in the future in an effort to do so.
Not to make light of your situation, but it reads like an OCD version of Slipknot's Wait and Bleed:
I've felt the hate rise up in me
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves
I wander out where you can't see
I wash my hands so much they bleed
All good, no worries
sometime i wash my hands so hard my hands would end up being rough and dry, so i had to put moisturizer (ie: bag balm or cetaphil) to make them NOT dry. seriously!
Same
