    How often do you wash your hands? I never wash my hands. They get wet when I do the washing-up and I dry them. When I defecate I don't make contact with my anus so why wash? Let your immune system do its job, don't destroy it.

    Toilet paper is porous. You most definitely do make contact with fecal matter which has been on your sphincter.

    Wash your hands man, people don't want your bum germs on their fingers if they shake hands with you.

    Hand washing is vital after using toilet facilities, before washing up. Cooking, eating and often as there are many germs to be passed on without you being aware just what damage you cause.

    Fecal matter on hands + Food preparation = E. coli infection

    Doesn't matter if you use a bidet, wipes or toilet paper. You still need to wash your hands too.
