    Yes. People have a very disturbed picture of hygiene of their body in general. The genitals are one of the cleanest things on your body, by far - after a good scrubbing under the shower they get put into a (idealy) freshly washed piece of underwear, until the next shower. Your hands, hands, mouth, face, feet and legs touch so much stuff constantly. Phone screens are the dirtiest surface in your whole aplt, probably. Yet you’d rather lick that than eat a nice ass.

      I don’t know if I’d go that far. It’s not very open to the air (bacterial and fungal dream) and the anus is like right there. After a long sweaty day, shit migrates.

      But I don’t get the fear when using a towel immediately after a shower.

      Let me know when my phone starts generating shit, so I can promptly light it on fire. Until then, I’ll be over here making out with it. Come here baby, give me some of that nasty 5G wavelengths. Oh yeah, that always gets me going~ a little tongue in the USB port and 💦

      Asshole is not clean dude. You fart, if you’re smelling it that is literally poop particles you’re smelling. Your butthole is not clean. Everything else sure.

        I think if the average person had fecal-vision they would either have a nervous breakdown at the amount of personal body fluids and materials that coat everything we see and touch, or they would have to get over squeamishness immediately in order to keep functioning.

        I promise your phone, right now, has bacteria that are produced in the bowels of a person. It’s also on every surface of your bathroom, on your keyboard, shoes and hands and probably everything else.

        Your body is constantly seeking equilibrium with your microbiome. You wouldn’t want to get rid of that bacteria or you would die.

        If you have good hygiene and don’t let shit dry in your ass cheeks, those areas are actually more likely to be in equilibrium than other parts of your body, because they don’t get sterilized or handle sources of foreign bacteria. Meaning there isn’t a harmful imbalance of one kind of bacteria versus another.

        It’s very easy to test. You take a swab of your ass, your hands and your mouth and let it grow. Can you guess what petri dish is more likely to look like the opening credits to The Last of Us?

          They are particles that came out of your ass. It’s not like you just magically smell fart when someone rips without something traveling from their butthole to your nose.

          Edit: How in the world am I being downvoted for something that is unequivocally true. Mercaptans are particles. They come out of your ass.

            Organic molecules aren’t dangerous or infectious in any way. They might have smells but they are chemically identical to other sources of the same particles.

            If particles bother you, you are gonna have a hard time.

            You’re getting downvoted because you’re trying to make a somewhat scientific argument about a thing that is completely a subjective feeling of disgust. It’s totally valid and honest to say you have that feeling, we all have irrational feelings about things. But many of our problems in the world come from people trying to write stories to explain their irrational feelings rather than shrugging and saying “It’s just how I feel, I know it doesn’t make sense.”
