Apologies to the mods beforehand.
I’ll re-wear socks and/or underwear for another day if I’ve got absolutely no clean ones left.
I absolutely looooove going to the bathroom. I’ll easily sit there for an hour and read or play with my cell phone if left undisturbed.
I abuse myself when I get home from work and before I go to bed. It helps me wind down and relax.
Whew, glad I got that off my chest.

I haven’t worn underwear regularly since I left for college.
I like the smell of my own farts.
I’ve done some things that shall never be shared, even on teh interwebs.
I don’t have sheets on my bed.

I kiss my cats on the nose or mouth, and let them eat out of my plate at meals.
(Actually I don’t let them eat out of my plate right now because my husband would shit, but I did before I married him, and would again).

\*Duuuuude! \* I only question this because I have firsthand knowledge of how rank your farts are. You can’t possibly like that! It’s inhuman. INHUMAN I tell you! 😛
Oh and I have a rather nasty belly button infection right now. It is even fouler smelling than Santo’s farts.

If I wear any underwear at all (which is rare), I wear women’s underwear. (I’m a guy.)
As Homer says, “It’s a comfort thing.”

Honest question- in what way are they more comfortable than men’s underwear? If it’s the material, can’t you find men’s underwear in that material?

…And I have to change my pants upwards of three times a day. 😃
For me:
I have seriously enormous testicles. I have to hold them when sitting on the loo so as to not dunk the boys in the water.

I shave my ass (I’m a guy). It just nice, and I think it’s more hygienic. I’m not naturally very hairy back there, but it still feels nice to remove what’s there. Toilet paper is alot more effective too then it is with even just a little hair back there.
At first it was itchy and and burned when I scratched it, but after awhile my butt got used to it.
The only other parts of my body I shave is my arm pits and my face. I have a different razor for my face.
The only downside is the occasional nick. OW.
Btw how does that stuff melts hair off work on your ass? Been thinking of trying that.

I’m actually going to spoilerbox this one, regarding my toilet habits:When I have a particularly sticky clayey bowel movement that leaves my sphincter filled with a plug of feces and which no amount of wiping will remove, I resort to plumbing myself out with a finger until I"m clean.

How’s this: Never should the words “melt” and “your ass” ever be considered together. You _do not_ want a chemical burn on your balloon knot.

For everyone who has responded before me, :eek: :eek: :eek:
All I can think of is I drink milk straight from the jug.

My nipples are such a light pink color that it is difficult to tell where the skin on my breasts stops and my nipples begin.

Yeah, me too with the milk thing.
I don’t use the bar soap in the shower, I’m kind of a girly-man, and use shower gel, or body wash. But I will not hesitate to grab the bar and bare hand it to clean out the bunghole. Yes, I rinse it thoroughly before the wife uses it next, god - even I couldn’t leave her Irish Spring with poo spots.
And so on.

If I eat particularly greasy food, I get flatulence that can be classified as a biological weapon.
(Legumes and other traditionally ‘gassy’ foods…I get the gas, low level on the foulness scale - all toot, no stink…grease is what makes it deadly…)

I prefer to sleep fully clothed, including shoes, with no blankets and a light on.

Aww, why not.
[spoiler]I once let a girl pee in my mouth. In front of my girlfriend. She was not impressed.
I once had to stop having sex because I needed to poop. I ended up clogging her toilet, and she didn’t have a plunger. I had to break one of her hangers. She was not impressed.
Both of these stories happened within the last six months.[/spoiler]

But do you _like_ the way your belly button infection smells? 🆒

Not to thread shit or hijack, but the title of this thread is TMI. I case you don’t know, that stands for “Too Much Information.” The title of this thread is not, in fact NEI, or “Not Enough Information”.
