Japanese Toilets: The Future Called 30 Years Ago
I think OP meant that washing is good for personal hygiene i.e. not carrying pathogens smeared around on your skin/clothes.

That's a valid point, but not one that directly supports the argument for bidets. Since most people (at least in my neck of the woods) shower at least once a day, personal hygiene is usually accomplished.

But to prove that claim OP would have to show that people who just wipe their asses are more often sick than those who wash it each time.

So personal hygiene is a no-no until you can prove that you can get sick?
