Wash your hands - before AND after

---

AHHHHHHHHHH

LOL

seven wants ten you disgust me, as do many other men that simply walk out after taking a piss. I think that's a neanderthal attitude.

Do you piss on your hands? The only thing I touch is my dick...is there something wrong with your dick? As for the door handle, I don't plan on opening the door with my feet.

Do you always wash your hands aftewr taking a dump?

If I use them to wipe

Grrrrrrr

Hi sdp!! :smile:

You said, "If you are germophobic then yeah you would want to do that but otherwise it's harmless." [in reference to washing your hands before you pee] First off - I don't appreciate the implication that someone would have to have an unreasonable fear of germs to even consider washing their hands before they pee. Imagine that - not wanting to touch your penis with dirty hands. What a radical idea!!. And your assumption that it is harmless NOT to wash before - is based on what - exactly? Certainly not logic. [at least how I see it] Unless you wear gloves all day long - your hands are coming into contact with countless numbers of germs and viruses. [not to mention good old fashioned dirt]

Will a person die if they don't wash their hands before they pee? No. Will they become sick? Probably not. Is it possible that their penis might develop some sort of infection because the hand that touched it was not clean? Possibly. The chances are slim - sure - but why not make the chances NONE? If you have to raise a toilet seat [with your hands] before you pee - would you avoid scratching your ear afterwards OR rubbing your eyes? [before washing your hands] If so - why? Is it because you think that something MIGHT be on your hands? If that's the case - then why are you ok with putting whatever might be on your hands - ON your penis?

Practically since time began - people have been taught that their private parts are 'dirty'. They wash their hands after they pee because they believe [as they have been taught] that the penis has made the HAND dirty. [keep in mind - we're talking about peeing - not having a bowel movement] Unless a guy actually gets pee on his hand - the hand will be fine even after he goes to the bathroom. Truth be told - it would be more sanitary to wash your hands before you pee - than after you pee. [although I believe we should do both]

That said... humour me. Take note of what your hand comes in contact with the next time you're out. Take note of all of the objects you touch and then come back here and tell me that you're not taking ANY chances [whatsoever] by touching your penis with your unwashed hand.

Do I wash MY hands before I pee? Yes - I do. I didn't always - and I still don't - if I'm home. But I think it's a good idea. I don't scrub up like a surgeon - just a quick wash under the tap. It only takes a few seconds.

GREAT BIG HUG
Craig!! :smile:

You admit yourself that the chances of anything bad happening to you as a result of touching your penis with unwashed hands is very slim. The chances of something happening to you if you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands is much higher. Why? Becasue the germs/bacteria enter a sensitive area of the body, multiply and you get sick. If you touch your penis, well... not much is going to happen. I guess if your are going to rub the urinary meatus with you unwashed hands then.... I guess you can get some UTI. Although even that is unlikely since the urine will pretty much flush the urethra. I mean the penis is pretty much an appendage like a finger. So the fears of "contracting" something is, in my book, unreasonable. Thus, if if someone has an unreasonable fear of germs.....germophobic. I'm probably stretching it with the classification but I'm not probably not far from it.

I think I've exhausted this topic. Thanks for the opinions. GREAT BIG HUGCraig!!

I think that's a good idea Craig. For example, just last week I got a fungal infection between the underside of my cock and my scrotum, where my cock rests against my scrotum (always a warm, moist area). I had jacked off at night before going to bed, and didn't clean up that well leaving the residual cum on my cock and balls. The next day, I broke out in this red itchy blotchy and swollen rash on the underside of my penis and scrotum skin. It got scaley and just really weird looking. Couldn't figure out what it was, then realized based on the scaley look and itchyness, that it was a fungal skin infection. Starting wiping the area with alcohol daily, and applying Neosporin ointment, and its gradually going away now. I never had this before, but I realized the fungal spores probably got there from whatever I had touched with my hands earlier that night before I jacked off, and got transferred to my penis when I jacked off. And since I left my cum on my cock shaft, it was a perfect moist breeding ground for the fungus to grow. If I had washed my hands before I jacked off, or had cleaned up my cum better afterwards, I probably wouldn't have gotten the infection.

seven_w_t you cracked me up! Now, answer me this: Would you approach a stranger and touch his cock?

No, but not because it's "dirty"

and your arse isn't?

I don't shit on my hands...do you??

I don't piss or shit on my hands but I do wash every damn time afterwards regardless.

Normally I just aim for the toilet. But you people have the most interesting things to talk about. I do think that washing before and after is a little excessive, but then when you think about the point that Craig made, its good.However, I have made quite some progress through life and havenet contracted zip, so, yes, I do wash my hands after, not some de-sterilization job, casual, and then I'm on my way.

I think you need to worry more about touching the restroom door handle when you leave, after you've already washed your hands, since so many people don't wash their hands after using the restroom.

Yeah 7-10!

Oh no, I'm out of toilet paper! Remember not to shake my hand for a few days
