I think a lot of people share in this philosophy. I wash my hands because I like to keep my hands clean. I'm thinking of going to a fist bump instead of a handshake because of all the dudes I see walking out of the stall and right out of the door.
All righty then so here's my take.
The whole washing your hands thing i think would be moreso as SP suggested a question more of manners and etiquette than hygeine and cleanliness.
I say this because essentially there are two types of people in this world (and yes i realise this is a broad stereotype)
There are your germaphobes who are constantly worrying about how much piss there ingesting when they eat peanuts or who's bacteria there getting when they shake hands... all from an irrational fear that they will get sick from it.
The joke is on them though because there are just as many gross uncaring pigs like me and a few others here that really don't care about germs or what not and we go to the same food outlets the same gyms the same banks the same doctors the same toilets that you do.
What even more ironic is the us pigs... we hardly ever get sick and we laff at you while you spend hours in the doctors office or the hospitals or doping yourselves up with antibiotics because the truth is.... the things "germs" that make people sick are very specific and i think there's only one germ/ germ strain that can be transmitted through not washing your hands and that's staph and the main reason that has become a threat is because germaphobes helped it become resistant with all your doping up on antibiotics
hmmm seems i did a bit of a rant there sorry
Staph is one of MANY things that could be communicable from your hands. While certain things like the cold/flu virus need a certain environment to survive, like mucous membranes, washing your hands may keep these things from transmitting to your mucosa when you touch your face, nose, mouth, eyes, etc without thinking about it through out the day.
Go to a third world country and look at some of the horrible things that are communicable from poor sanitary conditions.
One of the new generations in science and health came when we discovered hand sanitation, proper cleaning techniques of instruments and protective things like gloves in surgery.
I am glad you don't work for the CDC (Center for Disease Control) going around saying Staph is the only thing spread by not washing your hands. There is also MRSA. E-coli, Klebselia, and a million others. I've read articles about how acryllic nails have been responsible for spreading harmful bacteria in hospital settings by the neo-natal nurses to the babies accidentally because they were getting these bacterium under their nails and unable to wash them out properly with antibacterial soap.
My daughter doesnt get sick at all when school is out for the summer but gets horrible bouts of things like pneumonia the first couple of months of school. Kids are renowned for touching things after touching their mouths and not washing hands.
Some people who are germphobes might be getting sick anyway, but our immune systems are all different. Which is why washing your hands frequently is probably a good thing in general for human health.
The HAND is a medium for transferring these bacteria/microbes and since we have no way of seeing them on our hands or knowing how high the bacteria count is on something we just touched, it would be foolish to go into a restroom and not use it as an opportunity to wash your hands as well as going to the restroom.
Compromised immune systems are everywhere around you, you dont know who those people are and you could be one of them one day. So washing your hands is important for everyone else you might be touching off and on in your day.
Like the Dial Soap commercial says "Arent you glad you use Dial? Don't you wish everybody did?"
I used to know a guy who washed his hands before he took his dick out to pee. I thought it was sort of odd. But I guess it was a good habit to do.I wash before I handle my junk
I especially do this at a gas station/ convenience store if I fill up on fuel for my car. Afterwards, if there's a restroom I'll wash hands first before using the restroom especially considering I don't want to get gas residue on package to say the leastI used to know a guy who washed his hands before he took his dick out to pee. I thought it was sort of odd. But I guess it was a good habit to do.
This totally makes sense. My dick is probably cleaner than a lot of things I might touch in public. Just think of all kinds of handles you touch when opening doors or using public transport, or all the goods in shops touched before by all kinds of people.I wash before I handle my junk
Ill agree with you that sanatision has improved our way of life but i think its gone too far.... studies are showing that a lot of the immune deficiency diseases are being brought about due to over sanitisation.
I believe in proper hygien for food handlers and for staff working in an environment where there are people suffering from weakened immune states like hospitals and doctors offices and so forth.
but a lot of people take this too far and as a result we are getting sick from our own fear of sickness, the body was designed to live in an environment where germs exist we have natural defences against it. We were not designed to live in a sterile environment and the fact that there are people out there trying to make it that way it having an adverse effect on our population.
During a childs life they will get sick a large number of times..... that is the way its supposed to be children are designed to get sick so that their immune system can develop immunities for later in life. Trying to keep our children sterile will only prapare them for an adult hood full of illness and isolation
So yeah i agree with you for the sake of others we should try to be a little conscious of our sanitary habbits but i also seriosly believe that alot of people need to dial it down a little and not worry so much because our fear of disease is making us ill
Why is it considered unsanitary not to wash my hands after pissing?
Several years ago I had an acquaintance who washed his hands before taking his penis out to pee and washed afterward too.I've always felt that we do it the wrong way around: we should wash our hands before we go to fish our cocks out of our pants, as our hands carry far more germs than our penises, as long as we practice good genital hygiene.
