Way back in my early days of Tumblr I made a friend on here from Kuwait. He was lovely and chatty and we’ve been good buddies for years. Eventually he had a chance to visit and I was so excited to meet in person after years of texting.

I was living with Betty at the time and she and her boyfriend heard he was from the Middle East and started making jokes about whether he'd know what a toilet was. I was unamused and informed them that the Kuwaiti dinar had three times the weight of a US dollar which quickly silenced them.

Betty was further shocked when he arrived and asked why we didn't have a bidet. "Every room in my house has one, you guys just wipe with dry paper all the time? Doesn't it hurt?"

"I guess we get used to it," I replied.

"Is that why Americans have the phrase 'hard ass'? Because your assholes get so calloused?"

I absolutely lost it and didn't realize he wasn't making a joke. The question stuck with me for years causing aftershocks of laughter whenever it popped into my head.

But today I was delighted to inform him that my wife and I are finally civilized and have a bidet at home.

Beautifully painted trompe l'oeil swagged material and stonework cover the walls of this distinctive bathroom. The comparative warmth of the 'material' is offset by the deliberate cold, stone effect. The room itself was painted with artist's oil colour in two tones of buff, mixed with glaze and given a coat of polyurethane.

The kind you'd find at the second hand store...

Sometimes you're squattin' on the porcelain throne and a comic idea smacks you so hard that you gotta shit it out ASAP.

Some additional reasons I prefer handheld bidets over bowl styles:

There's far less cross-contamination of fecal matter to your urethra, because more often than not you're spraying from the front, NOT the back like those other ones do. I stopped getting so many UTIs once I switched.

But no, seriously, rinsing your junk whenever you want or need to??? Fantastic. Outstanding. Amazing. Love it. Great on a hot day or when I've been sitting at my desk for too long.

It's also perfect for rinsing off stuff after ✨activities✨. -They're SUPER easy to install and unobtrusive.

ty for coming to my bidet talk, the floor is now open to questions from the peanut gallery.
