NNNNUH MY DICK IS CLEANER THAN THE FAUCETS HNURRRR
And what makes this worse, with the perianal sweat and all, is that there exists a particularly insecure and vile subset of men who refuse to wipe or wash their asses because it’s gay or something. Some guys think “I just let some water run down there, it’s fine!” is adequate. And I am informed by dudes that this is not an uncommon view. So like, these guys are carrying a HEAVY load of fecal sweat on their undercarriages.
I have a THING about public spaces, especially bathrooms, and germs. I hate touching shopping cart handles, door pulls or knobs, the sink, flush handles, anything like that. Because they are indeed filthy. I get it.
But I still wash my motherfucking hands.
And like 9/10 of the time I manage to do it without touching anything with bare, clean skin.
Flush toilet/urinal. Go turn on the faucet, wash hands. Dry your hands by whatever means. Leave faucet on. Grab a paper towel, or a piece of toilet paper, or one of those paper seat things if you have to. Use that to turn off the faucet, then use it to open the bathroom door again. As you leave, put the trash into the trash can near the door. Your hands never touch the nasty stuff. Wash your hands again when you get home. VOILA. You have managed to acquire and spread fewer germs.
Do I have to improvise sometimes? Yeah, I do. Sometimes I have to use my shirt to open a door, or something. But I always manage to wash my fucking hands because I am not a septic piss-goblin.
Is it ANY FUCKING WONDER that getting UTIs from penetrative sex is super-common?
