    I’ll preface my comment with the fact that I never saw a bidet until I was in my 30s, so I was never properly “bidet trained”, but I can tell you that at a glance the prospect of having a damp ass after every shit does not appeal to me. Particularly in humid regions where damp bodily areas leads chafing and rashes. It also looks like a lot more effort than just wiping and moving on with minimal difference in results.

    That said, if you prefer bidets and have access to them, more power to you.

      This is exactly it.

      I used a bidet in Europe in my thirties, and then my ass was all wet. I could dry it with toilet paper and leave bits of toilet paper in my ass hair, or I could dry it with a dedicated ass towel, which is clearly less sanitary than just wiping.

      It’s wet and uncomfortable, and it’s not any better than just wiping. Running a bit of water over something doesn’t really clean it anyway.
