Board 8 > So there really are guys out there who don't wash their hands after a piss...

(+) Yeah! (+)

If you're a non-washer and ok with making it known, I'd really appreciate your take. It just seems gross and inconsiderate to me.
---

Do you wash before taking a piss?
---

have you seen the shape of water?
---

I'll do it in public places, but at home who the heck cares.
---

Even among those that do wash their hands, most people spend less than 10 seconds washing them. People are gross.

I do, but then again, how is it any different than grabbing your dick throughout the day? Is it just because you imagine pee splashing on your hand?
---

I for one find it repulsive people are willing to leave home without sterilized protective bubbles
---

apparently TomNook just sticks his hands straight down his pants no matter where he is
---

I don't pee on my hands and see no particular reason to believe that the outside of my dick is any dirtier than any other part of my body.

Just after, though it's probably good practice to do it before and after using the bathroom.

Watching it now, and remembered seeing a poll a while back where a good percentage of men admitted to not washing all the time.

...do you grab your dick throughout the day?

Dick skin is usually the same as the rest of your skin, and I don't piss on my hands. Pee is sterile anyway. I do wash in public.
---

A lot of people do this. Like most.
There are many who don't even wash after a poo.

I am the opposite of that.
---

I wash hands in public restrooms because touching everything in there is so much worse than touching my own skin.

But at home, yeah, whatever.

Sterile enough so that microscopic particles that might splash on them are not a big deal

Thinking about those bells.

I wash always but don't use soap usually just for pissing

This. I give my hands a quick rinse but dont care about soap unless Im about to eat

Two things I always bring up

When else do you wash your hands if not then?
You're touching a dirty door to go in and out.

1. After I do something that might make them "dirty"

2. If you're touching the door to go out anyway, then the fact that you just washed your hands was pointless, as you just re-exposed them to the germs of the door

1. Still after peeing sometimes, just not every time. I drink way too much water for that.
2. Literally everything can be considered dirty.

In a public restroom I usually use my elbow to open the door after I wash my hands

I wash at work to fit in. I don't want to be "that guy"

at home I don't give a fuck

Guys grab their dick throughout the day without washing their hands? >_> gross.

Sweat breeds bacteria
Hair breeds bacteria
Urine breeds bacteria
Bacteria thrives in dark and moist places

Saying "My dick skin is the same as any of my other skin" is just a liiiittle bit off the mark
---

Also, urine being sterile is literally something that's been disproved for awhile
---

I take great pride in my cleanly dick
---

Maybe when you're doing peeing you should wash your dick instead.

The amount of bacteria in urine is still super low on it's own in a healthy person, and most of that isn't really bad for you like most of the bacteria in your body. It doesn't stay that way because it's not really an antiseptic, but in an emergency fresh urine is still a much better option for cleaning out a wound than water.
---

While your dick obviously isn't as dirty as your taint, that whole area of your body gets quite sweaty and odorous during the day. It's just common courtesy to wash your hands after you touch it if you're out in the world (as said earlier, you never wanna be that guy). If you're bumming it at home, that's on you, but it still seems gross imo.
---

Are you guys never at home by yourself, and grab your dick to adjust it or whatever? Surely you don't rush to the sink after that...

Dicks need stretching to keep healthy blood flow. That's the biological reason for morning wood. Doing it throughout the day is normal, and I see other guys do it too. In the presence of others, most guys don't stick their hand down the boxers, but in private or when no one is looking, yeah.

I don't, but I wash after every time I'm in the bathroom. There's no dirty doorknob or handle for me to grab afterward as well (the sink is outside the toilet room), so I know my hands are basically as clean as they can get when I'm done. I just went to pee right now actually - hands are feeling "Mediterranean Blue Waters" clean!

It's not, though, because urine also instantly picks up any bacteria from your skin as it passes. And there hasn't really been any studies to know the effects of the bacteria found in your bladder on other things to suggest it'd be good for cleaning out a wound. If you have clean water, it's absolutely better than urine.

Urine being good for cleaning a wound is an urban myth that faded as studies were actually done.

Frankly, the only situation you should ever resort to peeing on a wound is if you have no clean water available and the wound is already dirty and/or much too large for the natural flow of blood to clean it out. It's definitely a last resort.

I have a confession to make. I pissed today in a public restroom, went to wash my hands, and someone was using the sink that was adjacent to the soap dispenser. I was in a hurry, so I washed my hands without soap and left.

Do you wash your hands after using a mouse and keyboard?

Those are probably way dirtier and never get washed

I mean, for all the people saying they randomly grab their dick throughout the day, that's probably why!

Unless you just boiled it, water isn't really going to be that "clean" as far as bacteria is concerned, hate to break it to you. (But don't flush a wound out with boiling water either for obvious reasons.)

It's going to be cleaner than urine! If you've got something like a water bottle, it's much better to use than peeing on it. Obviously, water isn't ideal, either, but in an emergency situation, urine should be your absolute last choice.

Literally has more bacteria than tap water in many cases.

I do most of the time just because, but there are definitely moments where it's not necessary

If you are one of those people who have constant swamp-ass, yes, you should wash every time

I feel like you're focusing on the wrong part of the argument, which is "You shouldn't use urine on wounds"

Water is an "emergency situation" thing

Urine is a "Literally nothing else and even then probably shouldn't do it" thing
---

Shape of Water was pretty good.
---

ehh...

soap and water is obviously the better choice but if you lack soap, using just water is fine.
it's far better than urine though. reminds me of the jellyfish myth.

Tons of people poop or pee then don't wash their hands. If you ever touch a public door handle, railing, or button, you are touching some random person's poop

I wash my hands because that's what normal people do but I don't fool myself into thinking that it makes that much of a difference

Do you have sex after touching your junk with utterly filthy hands all day?

I havent seen Shape of Water is there nudity in it
