TMI, but hemmoroids and a bidet make streaks a thing of the past.

I suffer the cold water, as it takes much too long for the warm water to arrive from the boiler.

Put on of those inline water heaters used for kitchen faucets.  
Assuming they can be taught not to scald…

I just looked a faucets for bidets - even Home Depot wants at least $300 for the faucet.  
The Kohler site had prices of 900-2500. For two valves and a spout.

I guess the demographic for real bidets is rather limited.

I have seen exactly 1 bidet installed in a home. The house was about 3x what my budget could handle.

I had a real bidet installed when our house was built. I love it. Warm water on your butt is very nice. My brother in law has one of the toilet add on units. Only cold water and not for me. Some add one have warm water but require an electrical connection.

A few years ago, I met a husband and wife sadist team who were into electrically shocking men’s balls. I wonder what they would be able to do with a bidet with an electrical connection?
