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

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 90 points 1 month ago (4 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 1 month 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?

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

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

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Um, there is no pussy eating on grindr.

Get yourself a nice trans boy.

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 16 points 1 month 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 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Hey everybody! This guy touches his butt!

Butt toucher! Butt toucher!

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month 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.

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.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I hope my balls are clean after I shower.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

this, if anyone os worried about the hygiene of towels, that means they aren't confident on their shower.

if you're clean it doesn't matter if your dry yer anus first.

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

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I assume you do, in fact, encounter crack at that point.

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 1 month ago (11 children)

Touching your balls is gay.

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

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

Do women dry their balls first or last?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

They always dry their ovaries first.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm not using a different towel. I've just come out of a shower where I've scrubbed myself clean.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Both are clean so what's the problem?

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm in the 'new towel every day" club.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

More people would upvote this but theyre still doing laundry

These threads are always such a fascinating voyage of discovery

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Any time I think I'm mentally fucked up, and for sure I am, I see stuff that at least makes me feel better about myself.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month 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.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

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.

[–] savutano@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Towel has two sides & two ends. Check mate.

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

You use a fresh towel every day?

Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that's the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.
