Back to front = from anus in the direction of genitals
Front to back = from anus in the direction of back
Sitting = Sitting on toilet
I think I remember reading a similar thread before I joined. Clearly, this is the height of classy discussion at IMHO.
At any rate, I go front-to-back while sitting. I’d wonder about those who wipe the other way, but the truth is, if you use baby wipes (as we all should!), it doesn’t matter much. Your butt will be sparkling 
Standing? 
Can’t tell if serious.
Yes. Some of us stand. That’s the only way I’ve ever done it. I was surprised to find out that sitting is more typical. I’m not even entirely sure how one does it while sitting.
And you made this a public poll because…?
Seriously, WTF. I’m sure as hell not going to be one of your data points.
TMI, but, the first wipe is back to front, to clear away the most obvious material. Subsequent swipes are front to back.
And I’m a folder, not a wadder. And I use three squares of tissue per wipe.
And the roll feeds over the top of the roll, not from underneath.
And I’ve never used a bidet, but am willing to give it a shot some day.
And I have to scrub the toilet bowl after every poopage.
And… Hey, wait, there’s more! Lots more! Where’s everybody going?
Front to back and back to front make little sense to me: how does your asshole have a “front” or “back”?? It’s all on the same side! Bottom to top/top to bottom would be more understandable…
Three squares? Can’t tell if serious.
I can see it now… This thread will cost someone a job/home loan/marriage/something down the road.
Fucking internet!
Am I to understand from this that you people are cleaning your own posteriors?
I must tell Simpkins, he will be most amused.
Heh. OK, not earth-shattering. But I’m just sort of gobsmacked over why the OP made the conscious choice to choose the “this is a public poll” option when posting a poll about how people wipe piss and shit off of their bums. Is all.
Is this that shitthreading I keep hearing so much about?
Can we get a clarification of what “standing” means in this context? Are we talking standing all the way up with knees unbent? Or lifted off the seat but knees still quite bent? Or something else?
Dang it I thought I made it private. :smack:
Mods can you please make the poll private?
Can you spare a square?
For the purposes of this poll -
standing = Buttocks are over an inch above the toilet seat.
“Hovering” over the toilet with your buttocks less than an inch away from the seat counts as sitting.
FYI - The inch standard was arbitrarily decided my me, before anyone asks.
Well, as for me, I properly stand. Bent over a bit, yes, but standing, not just a couple inches off the seat.
Where’s the option for “Front to back, back to front, and sideways, using as a starting point the hemorrhoids”?
I would think that standing would make things messier. Then again, I have developed a back to front wipe, but I don’t think it makes the most sense.
It’s worth noting that in front to back, women actually start rather further forward than the anus. Which is why women are taught to wipe front to back, lest we get infections in various places.
