Am I the only one who washes their hands after using the Bathroom??

Do you wash your hands after using the Bathroom?

A little immune challenge is good for you in the long run. Too clean and it'll turn on you instead. I wash, but not compulsively about every detail and step being clean. Those door handles everyone is avoiding? Do you paper towel the other handles in the building too? Those are just as dirty. The buttons on the vending machine? Dirty.

Don't wipe and then change your contacts without washing, but other than that, don't worry.
 
Always always always wash. Anything else is simply gross. I hate using the bathroom in any case and I avoid public restrooms as much as I can (learned to hold it for an entire day if I can't get home in time).

And as for all of the people who don't use soap or (eew) nothing at all:

washing your hands is essential. People are disgusting.

But, what makes me madder than anything is having to tip toe around the urinal cos a guy has a small *bleep* and he drips all over the floor.

IF YOU CAN'T GET IT ALL IN THE URINAL, SIT LIKE A LITTLE GIRL! :mad:
 
If I'm home, I'm probably not far away from cooking something so I wash every time. Same with when I'm out. The only times I can think of that I go and don't immediately wash is when I'm already filthy from yardwork or something so I'm already not touching my mouth/eyes etc. and I'm going in to take a shower afterwards. And even that doesn't happen often.

Plus I wash my hands at least a few times throughout the day anyway. I handle a lot of papers and other things that can get dirty.
 
Of course you wash your hands... The question if I soap or not depends ultimately whether the marginal effect of using the soap available is positive or not. Some public restrooms are in a state as if they have been subjected to a some diabolic biological warfare agent. You just feel a need to set yourself on fire when you enter...
 
I wash my hands after using the bathroom, and I've recently started washing them anytime I touch the boy's locker room doors. There have been diseases going around...

How can you not? Although I'm amazed by how many who don't when you hear a toilet flush and then the door open with no sound of water running at the sink.

However, I do sometimes leave public toilets without washing my hands if there's either no soap in the dispensers or no way to dry them. But in those cases, I pull my travel 'wet wipes' out of my bag and use them to wash my hands - which also saves the hassle of trying to get out the bathroom door without being 'bugged' again.

Has less to do with a small *bleep* and more to do with pressure and gravity. Consider for example when you shut off the water to a garden hose. :cool:
 
I wash with soap after I use the BR, and so do my wife and kids. But, few years ago, my youngest one started to have problems. After he learned in school that door handles carry germs, I found him trying to open EVERY door he needed to go through with his feet. Now, it has stopped, but was it ALL over? He's going to 6th grade. He never sleeps in his room, when he does he brings me or Sheila or his overweight black pug (since he's too scared to be in his room alone), sleeps in bed with us, has to have someone go with him if he needs something from like a car in the dark, and I think has OCD. I am not making fun of him, that would be cruel of me sine I am his father, but I am wanting advice from this thread, even though it kinda has nothing to do with it lol :rolleyes: . But, yes to answer your question, my family washes their hands after using the bathroom, or so they tell me...

I was scared of the dark too. It gradually went away as I grew older. Around adolescence I was all gone. I wouldn't worry if I were you. Just give him time.
 
I always wash with soap.

If I'm taking a piss at my house and I don't get any pee on my hands, I sometimes don't wash. :eek:

I almost always wash, but sometimes I only rinse, for different reasons, but usually because there's no soap left. *swears at the cleaning people at work who don't do their job*

Yeah, I generally try to avoid pissing on any part of my body. And perhaps that's part of the reason men will decide not to wash after #1.

After all, if I can't touch it without washing, why would my wife, as an example, want to, um, touch it?

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that I wash every time I go.

Ok, about washing before you go? I would recommend this if you just handled jalapeno peppers? Burns like hell.

I've often thought about this too.

Most people shower first thing in the morning. Okay, so everything's clean. Then you go around all morning touching door handles, shaking hands, and getting your hands all filthy. So then, for guys at least, you go to the bathroom, and put your dirty hands all over your nice clean "buddy". If anything, you should be washing your hands before you go, or washing your "buddy" afterwards. :eek: :cool:
 
I love it whenever I hear people say that their cock is "clean", so they don't need to wash their hands. You won't mind if, instead of shaking hands, I just put my hand in my pants, grab my cock for a few seconds, and then wipe my hand on your face? Because, I keep mine "clean" too...
