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. )
Is that what they’re calling it nowadays.
I’m reminded of an occasion that took place my freshman year in high school. I was in the boys’ room and one of the school’s cooler guys was about to leave the restroom without washing his hands, and one of the school’s would-be cool guys chastised him for it. The conversation went like this:
“My mother taught me to always wash my hands after I pee.”
“My mother taught me not to pee on my hands.”
Bobcat Goldthwait did this on the Arsenio Hall show once lol.
Roll your eyes all you want, but handwashing after urination is a basic life skill that society expects well formed adults to have. Hand washing is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, and the Canadian Health Network as one of the most important actions people can take to promote public health.
I am implementing a water and sanitation program in the tsunami affected parts of Indonesia. We are trying to provide access to proper sanitation and clean drinking water to communities. We reinforce one message over and over: the best sanitation infrastructure in the world is worthless if it isn’t supported with proper sanitary behaviour by community members. Unfortunately, it only takes a few people ignorant of the risks their unsanitary behavior to undermine not just their own health, but also the health of others.
I’m pretty sure that’s what youtube is for.
I don’t think anyone here has said anything about penises being “indescribably filthy” or used the word “sterilize,” so you might want to put that straw down. The point of the matter is, I don’t want to touch your ball sweat. Is that really very unreasonable of me?
Did any of you consider that the process of urination might create airborn particulars when the stream hits the urinal?
Why yes, it is! It’s my CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to rub my ball sweat all over you! The Second Amendment says so!
Oh, like anyone can figure out exactly what that gramattically troublesome law says.
EDIT: Oh, and disclaimer, the joke is in reference to the confusing wording of the 2nd Amendment, and not on the related debate </hijack averted>)
On the subject of noses and sterilizing your hands… well, why not? When I was going through Basic Training, Wilford Hall (hospital at Lackland AFB) had signs up all over the place reminding everyone to sterilize their hands to help prevent the spread of colds, these signs usually accompanied by a Purell wall-dispenser. Similarly, we had hand sanitizer dispensers (well, soap dispensers, much to my amusement, but I assume anti-bacterial soap kills germs equally well with or without water) at the entrances to the dining facilities that all of the trainees were required to use before getting food.
Plus, if you get the citrus scented stuff, hand sanitizer smells pretty good.
You want to know when I wash my hands? When I shit on them!
And that happens maybe, two to three times a week. Tops!

Indeed! And nevermind the consequences if one should CROSS THE STREAMS!
If you have farted since the last time you washed your penis, you really should wash your hands after touching it.
You don’t wash your hands because you’re using the facilities, you wash your hands because you can.
The number one easiest way to promote your own health is to wash your hands. You’re in there, the sinks are there, wash your hands.
Certainly, if you get nasty stuff on your hands you should wash them. The problem is that you are constantly getting nasty stuff on your hands, not just in the bathroom. That’s why you should wash them when you can.
Yeah, like the shitbags who flush toilets with their shoes. Thanks buddy, glad your obsessively sanitized hands are clean. Hope you and your under-developed immune system suffer a horrible case of dysentery.
Santitation is a good thing. Washing your hands is a good thing. But there is nothing especially filthy about your penis or urination that makes handwashing a must-do. (After you* defecate,* certainly.) And, if you read your own cites, you’ll see nothing that sez anything to differ with what I have said. In fact CHN sez "*Where do germs hide?
If you had to pick the place in your house with the most disease-causing germs, what would you choose? Many of us automatically think of the bathroom toilet seat or bathroom floor. But Dr. Blondel-Hill says the kitchen is the biggest hot-zone for disease-causing germs. Top prize goes to the kitchen sink, followed by the dishrag or sponge.
Germs can live for a surprisingly long time on hard surfaces like desks, doorknobs and tables. Most people get sick when they touch something that is contaminated with germs and then touch their eyes, nose or mouth. The easiest way to reduce your chance of getting sick is to wash your hands often with regular soap and water and avoid touching your face."*
Now sure, since handwashing is good, and since you’re already right there (often) with a sink and all, it’s likely a good idea to go ahead and wash since you don’t have to make a special trip, like Danalan sez. But neither your penis nor urine is an especial source of filth or germs (in most dudes). Feces is, of course- but other people, public doorhandles, and especially that nasty kitchen sponge are all much more serious sources of infection.
I know, I know. Your (s in the generic you, not you especially madmonk) Mommy said “That’s filthy, it’s nasty.” :rolleyes: But it isn’t, really.
** Mommy was wrong, grow up dudes.
ShadowFacts**, So? I am not all that happy with having to touch your hand sweat.
Let’s look at it another way. In the morning, I assume that just about all us dudes wash their genitals. We then encase them in two layers of clothing, pretty safe from outside germs of any sort. Meanwhile, your hands are touching doorhandles, other hands, railings, counters, money, handles on toilets, that filthy kitchen sponge and many other germ laden things. Meanwhile, your penis stays safely in your nice clean underwear. So- what’s cleaner- your penis or your hands?
Here’s where we have to take into account the variable of how often one’s hands come in contact with his penis.
I think you are misunderstanding me. I don’t think penises are particularly dirty or germ-laden and I am aware that germs are everywhere. Nevertheless, I don’t want to touch your penis (or anyone else’s). You may think that I’m old-fashioned or prudish or whatever, but I just think it’s couteous to wash your hands after you touch your love wand.
What I want to know is-what do you have against washing your hands? Laziness, or being too much in a hurry to do so?
