Before the weird dystopian phases of the coronavirus, when toilet paper supplies were ridiculously low, and few of us could be sure where our next roll came from, bidet discussions were as inevitable as sour appetizers.
During this period of time, you may have such thoughts: “Wait, should I have been washing my ass?” The answer is yes, even if you have done this before, the possibility of you doing it wrong is not trivial anyway. of. But don’t worry, it’s really not your fault.
“The reality is that no one teaches us these things,” said Dr. Evan Goldstein, a well-known anal surgeon and founder of Bespoke Surgical and the sexual health brand Future Method. “No one taught us the correct way to poop. No one taught us the correct way to wipe. No one told us that we should not use wet wipes,” he told InsideHook.
Fortunately, Dr. Goldstein is here to teach you everything the toilet trainer missed, not just bidets and flushing. We discussed all the issues of anal hygiene with the chief hip doctor himself, because no matter who you are or what your hip is, it should be clean.
I hate to say that, but anal hygiene begins before you even consider entering the bathroom. According to Goldstein, a clean anus begins with a good diet.
Find inspiration and look at your dog. “Think about when you watch a dog shit,” Goldstein said. “Their diet is high in fiber, and you don’t even need to wipe it after you have a bowel movement.”
“Wipe less,” Goldstein said. “Everyone wipes from front to back, which is obviously the way we are taught. But the skin in that area is very, very fragile. So many people are overwiping, especially if your stool is not super-shaped.”
The first step in getting a good shape of a stool? fiber. Goldstein recommends a high-fiber diet, but if you are different from your dog and cannot get enough fiber in your daily meal plan, then supplements are your next best option. Goldstein recommends Pure for Men, a fiber supplement designed for anal hygiene.
Goldstein explained that these supplements work best when taken at night. He said that by drinking a lot of water before going to bed, fiber supplementation “starts to work when you sleep.” “The result is that most people start defecation first thing in the morning. When you stand up, it changes the angle of your pelvis. When that angle changes, you feel the urge to defecate, and then you empty everything. .”
It sounds disgusting, but regular “evacuating everything” is the first step in health and hygiene, and it can actually save you more thorough cleaning measures.
As mentioned earlier, if your fiber condition is under control, there is no need for active post-fecal cleansing anyway. But even if it does, you should aim for more stains instead of wiping, Goldtstein said. And please don’t think about going back there with a wet tissue.
“A lot of people, especially heterosexuals, are using wet wipes, which is horrible for you,” Goldstein said. “When people wipe or use wet wipes excessively, they will produce more irritation and remove beneficial bacteria. The accumulation of moisture and harmful bacteria causes a lot of problems,” he explained. And, as Goldstein said, “When you have anal problems, it’s really fucking pain in the ass.”
So, if the wiping is not good, and the wet wiping is worse, then what should a person do after shit?
“You should take a shower or clean yourself with water after defecation. It minimizes wiping irritation and minimizes residual feces that may cause some pollution,” Goldstein said. “If you have time to take a bath, it would be great to use a mild exfoliating product. It can promote many real health in the area and soothe it, and it can also remove any fecal matter.”
In other words, most of us cannot always jump into the shower every time we defecate. This brings us to the bidet. Goldstein recommends TUSHY as a simple and relatively inexpensive option, which you can connect to an existing toilet seat (and we do too).
Historically, anal irrigation has been associated with the gay community, or at least with anal sex. But should straight men flush?
“Obviously, I want heterosexuals to start more anal sex,” Goldstein said. “When you sexually stimulate the prostate, it is much better from an orgasm point of view, and the reality is that most men have never had this type of orgasm before,” he explained. “If heterosexual men get rid of their phobias instead of treating them as’homosexual’, I think they will really bring them more happiness from a sexual perspective.”
Obviously, the butt thing has long been unfolding outside the exclusive domain of homosexuality. In the past ten years or so, butt games have largely occupied the spirit of the sexual zeitgeist, and various anal activities have entered the bedrooms of people representing different genders and sexual identities. As Goldstein said, “This is a very interesting time to learn all about the anus. The anus is a thing. Now everyone wants to have an anus.”
But as interest in anal sex increases, so does the awareness of anal hygiene. Naturally, in this age of ass, anal irrigation is suitable for everyone…not anyone. Let Dr. Goldstein explain.
“If you don’t need to rinse, don’t rinse,” he said. And, statistically speaking, you may not need it.
“If I put 10 men or girls in a row and we had anal sex with all of them, and they did not do so, 9 out of 10 times, there would be no bowel problems,” he said.
“I think in sex culture, whether it’s homosexuality, heterosexuality, or something like that, everyone is very afraid of getting dirty,” he said. “But nine out of ten, most people will actually become super, super clean. If you have a good diet, you are using fiber, and you shit often, then I don’t think most people need to reach that level. .”
Having said that, Goldstein understands that due to social pressure, many people may have an urge to make sure they are super clean before playing anal games. In this case, he recommends that you check your own situation first.
“Use toys to show yourself that you are clean,” he suggested. “Put a toy in it and prove to yourself that you are really clean. If you are not, or if you want to feel super clean, then yes, I think rinse with the right product and use the right solution that will not cause harm, It’s a good choice.”
This is why Goldstein designed a safe anal irrigator for Future Method. The product’s pH balance, isoelectronic solution, and small bulb are designed to prevent damage and excessive flushing that most other products can cause.
In other words, Goldstein insists that the golden rule of flushing is not to do it if you don’t need it. In most cases, he said, “fiber supplement, good diet, and good exercise” are what you really need to make sure your hips are prepared for whatever you might encounter.
After all, no matter who you are, no matter who or what your anus is, it should be clean. Fortunately, for most people, all you need to keep a clean bastard is a lot of fiber, and maybe a bidet.
