Bingo. It is unbelievable that men don’t wash their hands after handling their penises and then touch door handles, computer keyboards, light switches, etc. Those that don’t wash your hands, start today.

I don’t wash my hands after touching my nose, either. What do you think is so indescribably filthy about a penis that one must sterizle their hands after touching it?

(There’s likey worse germs coming from a nose than a penis, and your hands are just filthy, in fact you should wash your hands after touching your hands. :rolleyes: Or doorknobs. 😛 )
