You shower fucking properly so that it doesn't matter wtf
post
There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:
- 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
- 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
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.
Um, there is no pussy eating on grindr.
Clearly everyone should also suck more dick. Or at least increase the amount of oral sex they engage in.
What about the bacteria in the towel?
If you are using certain sections of a towel specifically for certain body parts, you dont know what germ theory is.
Counterpoint to 2: I'm just paranoid
I hope my balls are clean after I shower.
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.
Ok, but also no, because how many times are you going to use a "clean" towel to dry off? I usually use it twice then wash it.
I have always used the same towel for everything but I do realize now that I pick the towel off the rack and place it over my head the same way, making it so my head gets dried with the "top" of the towel legs with the bottom, and it gets put back on the rod the same direction. So it is possible the ball section of the towel never touches my face, that said... I wouldnt be worried about it anyways. I'm not exactly scared of balls, and they aren't naturally acidic and even a vaginas acidity (~tomato) level, isn't dangerous for our skin.
I find this question a little weird, the same thing can apply to women
I eat my fiancée's ass like she's hiding crack up there so I genuinely do not care.
Yeah I'm not using a different towel. I've just come out of a shower where I've scrubbed myself clean.
These threads are always such a fascinating voyage of discovery
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.

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.
So, what is so holly with the female genitalia that they have to ask this question?
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.
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
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.
Yeah, I use shampoo on my balls, ass, front, armpits and hair. Back is a pain so I don't and I pretend the arms and legs don't exist cuz I can't be bothered.
Shampoo is specialized detergent in solution, you can just use regular soap if you don't care about damaging the hairs. Also, hot take, most shampoos aren't worth it in the first place over bar soap if you have short hair.
Now if you do want your pubes and ass hairs conditioned that's another thing but you also need to be using conditioner for curly hair the structure of the follicles is different.
It's generally recommended not to clean your hair too often with shampoo anyways I think. Some people substitute the shampoo, with only conditioner sometimes.
Interesting, didn't know those details, I'll try it out with just a bar of soap, but I did find that I enjoy e.g. the feeling of my hair when I use my current shampoo (Head & Shoulders) instead of some others, and I feel like it'd be significantly easier to spread with a liquid shampoo rather than a bar of soap.
You should get one of those Japanese exfoliating washcloths. They’re long enough to get your back easily.
Touching your balls is gay.
Hah, i worked for the military and had to supervise 60-70 guys from 20 to 40 years old. For some reasons bidets came up and the fact that i have one. They thought it was super weird. I said that i'd find it weird if you accidentally touched some poo, clean it off with a piece of paper and then call it a day until you take a shower.
The big takeaway was that no one washed their ass in the shower ever because that's gay. Man, i too wonder why no one gives them blowjobs.
Washing your ass is also gay.
All day one of your balls is touching another one of your balls. If your balls are gay, you're as gay as they come.
Oh Gawd, my balls are having gay sex all day!
More like gay foreplay I think. You must be so randy!
It's my balls! They're the ones that are gay randy, not me.
Hey, Gay Randy sounds like a fun cabaret act. Or maybe like a reverse drag queen act, like a women dressing as a man? Would that be funny? Not as funny as a drag queen, probably.
MAGAs might still hate it, and that's always funny.
Last night I noticed my thighs rubbing the side of my balls gently as I went back upstairs to go to bed. Silly gay thighs flirting with the randy gay balls.
I've lost 90 pounds (thank you, thank you), and noticed the other day that my thighs weren't rubbing together for the first time in many years. It seems that losing weight has made my groinal region less gay.
Wait, you guys don’t dip your balls in isopropyl?
I mean they’re clean AND dry afterwards…
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.
Tag side = balls
Non tag side = face
It's not that hard lol
The butt is the dirtiest part of the body so I usually just remove yesterdays towel from my ass and then insert today's towel right up there while shaking like a dog to air dry
I'm in the 'new towel every day" club.
Towel has two sides & two ends. Check mate.
Also four sides and four corners. Use this information with wisdom and not foolishness.
The corners are used for cleaning ears
Drying ears, you mean?
Otherwise I fear for the purpose you're going to put those edges to.
Every towel I have ever used has a tag on it, that's the crotch end, dry your face with the other end.
No, cause I wash the fucking towel like a civilized human being.
You use a fresh towel every day?
Yes, because I'm not a fucking animal.
I mean, when you use a towel to dry off your clean body, does it dirty the towel that much?
and you leave it hanging in the bathroom until next time you use it, ever done research on how much shit.. both literal and metaphorical, gets launched into the air every time you flush?
a closed lid reduces, but does not entirely prevent it, either.
Ehhh all of my clean towels hang too because my bathroom is so small the sink is in the hallway, and I don't have space for another dresser in my bedroom. Something something old house problems. I can worry about cleanliness of towels in the next house in 1-10 years
- No clothes remain hanging in the bathroom.
- Towels have a separate hanging place in an airy place (at least I wish they did. I just make do with the gymnastics bars)
- Toothbrushes are taken out after use and air dried (or momentum dried?) before returning them to their compartment, which is also outside the bathroom
- The only things that remain in the bathroom are shampoos and soaps
That's kinda of wasteful isn't it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.
If the body was cleaned correctly, you could just air dry and use it like 2 to 3 times.
I use two towels per week, and they never smell bad before I put them for washing.
That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.
i'm doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.
Do you shower once a week?
I see, if you are using the same amount of water regardless, I think that's reasonable
The trick is to put on your bathrobe, do other things, and when you're dry, manually dry the parts that weren't covered by the bathrobe. Maybe in the meantime I can do something else, which is more efficient.
Luxury is drying your folds with a blow dryer in winter.

If this isn’t enough to be clean, then I don’t know what is besides magma. Lol
