Wait, you guys don’t dip your balls in isopropyl?

I mean they’re clean AND dry afterwards…

[–] TheTiltster@feddit.org 17 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Umh...I usually take showers to get clean. So, when I´m done showering (read: when I have successfully finished the task of cleaning my whole body), I use a towel to dry my now clean body. Since my whole body is clean now, I do not distinct between single body parts, because, as previously mentioned, they are all equally clean now.

Towel has two sides & two ends. Check mate.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 17 points 15 hours ago

You just got out of a shower. If you washed well, what's it matter?

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 6 hours ago

Shampoo’s not for body hair. You’re better off with body wash or regular soap.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Gigasser@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

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 shower fucking properly so that it doesn't matter wtf

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 28 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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.

There are two camps on this one, both have valid points:

  1. 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
  2. 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
[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

|why doesn’t my face smell like pussy yet?|

You aren't eating enough pussy. Everyone should eat more pussy. Pussy is fucking delicious.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Um, there is no pussy eating on grindr.

Get yourself a nice trans boy.

These threads are always such a fascinating voyage of discovery

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Any time I think I'm mentally fucked up, and for sure I am, I see stuff that at least makes me feel better about myself.

[–] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I eat my fiancée's ass like she's hiding crack up there so I genuinely do not care.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I assume you do, in fact, encounter crack at that point.

Yes, I suppose you're right.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 day ago

Yeah I'm not using a different towel. I've just come out of a shower where I've scrubbed myself clean.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 20 hours ago

Of course not! I lick it clean first!

[–] BunScientist@lemmy.zip 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I find this question a little weird, the same thing can apply to women

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Do women dry their balls first or last?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 8 points 20 hours ago

They always dry their ovaries first.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Hmm... Two towels? One for body, one for head (hair and face).

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Touching your balls is gay.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I had a 9th grade student who didn't believe that men washed their own asses because it was gay. Yes, he was retarded, but in that behavior classroom kind of way.

We, the students and I, could not convince him otherwise.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 5 points 22 hours ago

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.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Washing your ass is also gay.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

Just thinking about it is gay.
