  • Because the tradition of wiping until it’s red is deeply rooted in american toilet culture.

    It’s refered to as “better red than dead”

    • I have never heard that and it deeply disturbs me because this does seem like it'd be an American thing...

      • It's a joke. The phrase is "better dead than red" and is an anti-communist phrase.

      • “better red than dead” is a joke - that’s usually a play on political parties or football teams. But what isn’t a joke, something that I’ve heard from american women, is that they’ve dated some american men who:

        • don’t masturbate because touching a penis is gay
        • don’t wash their penis with soap and water, just water, letting the water run down the penis, but not touch it, because you’d be holding a man’s dick in your hands.
        • if they do masturbate, they might just leave their mess on the floor, even if it’s carpet, for years and never clean it. Stains under a computer desk should be treated with a hazmat suit. This is different from the american men who save their mess in jars.. I have no comment for that.
        • don’t touch their penis when they pee. that’s what the zipper in the front is for. I mean, doing this in public would mean other men see you with a man’s cock in your hand. That’s .. uh you know…
        • don’t get prostate exams (this one may be more self-explainitory, doesn’t make it right though).

        And then they (guys who say this stuff) wonder why american men have a mental health crisis. Well (addressing the guys who say this stuff), buddy, part of it is you.

  • IDK because they rock. I love mine. I'm even cool with the water being cold.

    • I turn the heat off in summer when it's 28c inside. Nothing like a cool blast of water to help lower your core temps a bit.

  • I don't know if I'm extremely disappointed or extremely impressed that nobody on this thread seems to have commented on the word choice of "widespread" when discussing the use of bidets.

    Also, the only legit answer here is that there are fragile, ignorant men who think that a bidet makes you "gay" - these men are idiots with dirty, stinky assholes and stains on their underwear that their poor wives routinely clean for them.
