It seems as though this thread is kind of dead, but I'll post what I know of bidets for y'all. My parents' house has a bidet. Once, just after we moved to the house, I was about 8, my friends and I decided to test how high the fountain thing went. It hit the ceiling. It is used to wash feet and "yer backside" to quote that Australian actor of the Crocodile Dundee movies... Paul Hogan? Anyway... You can't lose control of the pressure thing... though it's not a good idea to just straddle the thing without checking to see if it's off first... have you ever turned the water on in the tub to find that the last person who used it didn't switch from the shower back to the tub fawcet? Surprise! Only, I guess with the bidet, it's a bit more of a surprise... :) As for washing - it can give women urinal tract/bladder infections because of the pressure... but if the water pressure is kept low, it shouldn't be a problem (or maybe try peeing afterward). I used my folks' bidet a lot... I liked it, but maybe not just for the clean feeling... But my cat liked to drink from the fountain thing too, so maybe Golden Boy's on to something.

i am a big fan of bidets..... the one i am most familiar with is at my pal luci's house. it has perfectly working controls and very ***NICE PLEASANT***** warm stream of water.... it feels awesome! and when i say awesome, i mean... "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that feels goooooood!" yeah, i suppose if you are stupid and turned it up all the way,it would hurt you. but i can't imagine why anyone would do that...unless maybe if you had a bad broken one where you couldn't control it. otherwise, a bidet is a gal's best friend....

...and a guy's. Ya'll don't get to have all the fun!

Ok, but is there a special "ass towel"? that's obviously set aside for bidet use? I've always wondered. I mean someone could come in, use the bidet, dry their nether regions off and hang up the towel. The next poor sucker (who would probably be ME) would come in, wash his face and use the same towel that was just dragged acros someone's ass. or maybe you just drip dry? Help me out here.

There's usually an ass towel. Actually, when I was in France, I had an ass towel assigned to me.

But, isn't you ass supposed to be _clean_ at that point?

Yeah, but it's all wet. Ad, you know, I don't like the thought of rubbing anyone's butt in my face, clean or not.

Yeah, rim jobs disgust me too. (shudder)

yes. each person has their own towel ASSigned to them.....and yes you are already clean, but a towel is for drying, like when you get out of the shower.

I visited a pro dom who had me use the bidet. I was gagged, bound, blindfolded, pretty helpless but having someone aid you in using the bidet has qualities surpassing all ordinariness.

I don't believe you.I need to see pictures,to substantiate your claim.

yeah, you're full of shit joy. no one really does those kinds of things, people just like to say they have for shock value. ok fine, you're interesting joy. you're a fetishist , your unique. superfuckingDOO!

What shock value? It's like having someone help you use the toilet. Plenty of time for that when you're 80.

I have a friend who works in a nursing home,she says it's a "shitty" job.

i dont think she was being helped to the potty sem. water spigots and female genitalia go hand in hand....especially in a BSDM environment

Wouldn't know a damn thing about that.

you've never heard of women squirming under the water faucet in the tub top get off? damn...you need New Orleans more than I thought.

I meant the BSDM environment. Don't personally like it. Goes against my nature.

oh yeah, i think it silly too. those people take their sex way too seriously

Something about pain and being immobilized in conjunction with sex really bothers me. I guess it's probably great for some people, but would be particularly horrifying for me. But I have a particular horror of being unable to move. Not claustrophobia so much... I can handle little tiny places, if I know I can move around and get out. Movies/shows/etc in which a big brother would torment a little brother by rolling him up in a carpet REALLY scared me as a little kid. Even when it was done in goofy comedy, the thought kept me up at night. Add sex to that, and I'd probably go into hysterics. The bad kind. No BSDM for me, thanks. But add sex to just about anything else, and it's a bonus.

I like a little bit of BSDM mixed up with my sex. But then I'm a bad girl.

how can you have sex after someone has rolled you up in a carpet?

It's very tricky and I don't like it.

How can you have sex without being rolled up in a carpet first?

I can't believe this thread is still going. I started the so and so thread. Still haven't used a bidet. Wonder if they got em in NOLA.

I rented a place that had one once,it was nice, once I figured out what it was.

Civilised man was meant to walk the earth with a clean derriere

Civilised man was never meant to revive dead threads.

Or use bidets for washing there feet.

Ah! Love my bidet-I had it put in the bathroom so I can feel "fresh" and I get more licks with it too =) I would think you guys would know what it's for by now! Now let's freshen-up....shall we?

There is a bidet store right next to I-95 in Hallandale, Florida with a big sign that says something like "Have a happy tush! Mr. Bidet" facing all the motorists whizzing past. Nothing was mentioned about animals drinking from it. Maybe you could call them up, arrange an in-store demo, and report back here.

Here we are in the 21st century and most people still know nothing about the bidet! It is almost a criminal offense that we don't use them! I have been using one for 5 years and my only problem is travelling. How can you stand to have feces smeared all over your butt? With a bidet say goodbye to hemorrhoids. I have actually written the first ever book on the bidet - actually there are several devices called the bidet. Everything known is in it. The benefits are immense: cleanliness, health, economy and ecology. Do you realize we produce 100 million rolls of TP a day? That is tens of millions of trees a year! This book will change your life and blow your mind, but you will also have a good laugh! "I have read with great interest the copy of "The Bidet" you kindly mailed me. You boldly deal with this subject which seems to be the victim of a long-standing conspiracy. You have covered all the different aspects of the bidet that need to be known by the consumer... Your work will be very helpful to wake up Americans to the reality of the bidet." – Jorge Rebagliati, Bidematic Bidet System To find out more check out my website: www.bbruneau.com

I agree that bidets are the 2nd greatest invention since toilet paper itself. (Because TP has other uses a bidet can't compete with... & let's just leave it at that.) If the swank hotels here in the states had put bidets in their bathrooms, they'd have caught on here ages ago. But the hotels aren't gonna spend the $$ to retro-fit all their bathrooms with bidets just to popularize them. If I ever have a house built to spec, there will be a bidet in EVERY bathroom. -RC

no shit. try wiping a civilization of spoaty off your chest with a bidet. awkward at best.

The bidet was created for the same Europeans who have never heard of the word "shower."ehe A recent study found that only 47% of French bathe on a daily basis!eh But alas, who needs an expensive bidet when you can create your own?eh After my brown parachutes land with a splash (ehe), I then hop onto the porcelain wonder. As my TUSH extends into the sink, I SHPRITZ away my rectal snot with cold, soothing water. eh I come away smelling like M&Ms. eheee -D, NYC "I love New York. I celebrate every day in this city.

Circumcision was created for people who have never heard of the word "shower".ehe

That's somewhat true! eh As the man said: "The proponents of not circumcising stress that lifelong penile hygiene is essential. This acknowledges that something harmful or unpleasant is happening under the prepuce." An uncircumcised PUTZ traps gunk at every turn, regardless if it comes into contact with soap! A circumcised man can abstain from bathing for two whole weeks, and he will still be able to retain the "appearance" of cleanliness. The same cannot be said for an uncircumcised man, who may find everything but the kitchen sink hiding inbetween his fugly foreskin folds!ehe While penile hygiene is said to protect against the complications against the uncircumcised state, there is actually no study to show any benefit to penile hygiene, nor any practical way to do such a study, considering the problem of documenting scrupulous hygiene over long period of time. Soap (irritant) has been known to exacerbate the existing foreskin condition, causing the bacteria (smegma) to multiply! When you have two moist folds of skin that continually harbor bacteria, "cleanliness" is nothing more than pure "fantasy." -D, NYC "Born imperfect, made perfect on the eighth day and onward"
