-- Posted by Jon1138 at 11:21 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Ok this is a legitimate post, and I figure it has to do with hygiene, but I am really curious here because I just don't "get it." So this girl says she wipes her butt when she's still sitting down, and I have never heard of anyone doing this. I thought she was joking. You stand up, you start wiping, and you throw it in the bowl after each wipe. This way, your hand motion is already going towards the bowl, if there's still more brown, you keep wiping. But if you were sitting down, what the heck? You wipe between your legs somehow? Reach down between your legs into the toilet bowl, wipe, bring it up to your face, check for brown, throw it back down into the bowl? Is this for real? I cannot believe anyone wipes their butt that way. Not only is it a lot of work but it sounds stupid. You'd think by the time you were like 5 you'd have figured out the best way to wipe your butt. Is this seriously common?! I'm just wondering if anyone else actually does this. I've never heard of that. -- Posted by tyler3120695 at 11:23 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 im sure someone out there does it that way lolz. -- Posted by MR UNKNOWN at 11:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 as absurd as this sounds I agree with you fully I always wondered the same thing -- Posted by Vicodin at 11:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 .. I obviously fail at wiping my own ass. -- Posted by Total Destruction at 11:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from tyler3120695 at 11:23 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 im sure someone out there does it that way lolz. ^ this -- Posted by peter110788 at 11:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 yh i do, u dont look thts gross, u feel when its clean, nd its cleaner cos ur more (open) so u can get more of ya -- Posted by Jon1138 at 11:29 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 How the hell do you wipe from the back side, especially if you were fat for instance? That would be very hard -- you could scoot forward on the toilet seat but that's not exactly easy either, seems like a lot of work just to be lazy and sit down. And you can't FEEL if it's clean, you have to look. How the heck would you know if there were no more crap unless you saw there was no more? That makes no sense. -- Posted by Jon1138 at 11:31 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Thinking about it more, I mean the standard toilet seat is NOT that big, I'm a pretty small guy, but if I scooted forward on the toilet seat to wipe from behind, my dick would be hanging right on the toilet seat, not to be crude but I don't know how else to put that. I mean it would be uncomfortable to say the least. Maybe it would be easier for a girl to wipe this way. -- Posted by Jon1138 at 11:41 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Haha, I am not sure if this is a guy / girl thing but asking some other guy friends, one said, "You wipe standing up -- it's like one of those unwritten laws." It just never even occurred to me that anyone would wipe while sitting down, it seems so silly and counterintuitive I never gave it any thought. It would be like if someone told me they hold a fork with two hands. I would just be like what?! Really...? -- Posted by Dark Butterfly at 11:53 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 If the ass gets wiped and cleaned what does it matter which way it happened? -- Posted by Jon1138 at 11:56 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from Dark Butterfly at 11:53 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 If the ass gets wiped and cleaned what does it matter which way it happened? I just think it's an hilarious idea, sitting down while wiping, it's like the most simple, obvious activity, and some people can't wipe their butt properly. It's twice as much work to do it that way, and makes no sense. I'm just bothered that if people who can't wipe their butts properly are out there driving, voting, etc., it's concerning. Why should they get to decide the next president of the United States or any other important matters if they still haven't figured out how to wipe properly?! haha, j/k -- Posted by Dark Butterfly at 12:06 am on Dec. 4, 2008 Quote: from Jon1138 at 11:56 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from Dark Butterfly at 11:53 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 If the ass gets wiped and cleaned what does it matter which way it happened?

It's totally illogical and way more work to try to wipe while sitting down. It just doesn't make any logical sense. It's a pretty easy proof. Your hand moves to the toilet paper roll, you wipe, and the tp goes into the toilet, so you can inspect on the way whether you need to wipe again. Sitting down, you would have to grab the toilet paper, wipe, then move your hand out of the bowl or move your head back to look BEHIND you to see if there was still crap on the tp, then put it back into the toilet bowl, then wipe again if necessary. Whatever way you do that process, it's an added step, it's just more work. It's provably more work, not just personal preference. There's no way you could do that without it being more work or less efficient. If you wiped, but didn't look to see, you would never know if your ass was still, well, unclean to put it nicely. If you look, you add a step. Standing, you have no added steps, it is the maximum in efficiency and logical process.
