I've always wondered how effective ass gaskets are against butt fungus. I mean, they are awfully thin...

I've heard that fecal bacteria can penetrate through something like 6 layers of toilet paper.
Only if you taunt them.

Penn & Teller did an episode about this on BS.. the conclusion was that our faces are dirtier than our asses. And that there are very few germs on the surface of our ass that we sit on.

There's a joke about tossing salads and e-coli in restaurant salad bars there somewhere.....

I've also pointed out in the past that your keyboard is likely to be dirtier than your toilet, according to recent studies. Not to mention, your toilet is capable of spraying a fine mist over everything in the bathroom when flushed.

I took a crap only once in a public bathroom. In 3rd grade. I avoid taking a crap in a public place, I'd much rather hold it until I get home.

I've never used them, even when available. And you know what? I don't care. On top of that, I've never gotten sick after using a restroom. Whenever I go to the doctor, I've always been pronounced "unusually healthy."

I'm not germ-obsessive and have no idea why some of you are.

Nope, even in really "public" toilets like in airports and what not.

I've done this for 21 years and never had any "butt fungus" or any sort of problems, that's what skin is there for. It's protection against that kind of stuff. Unless you never shower, nothing sits on your skin long enough to cause problems. Unless of course someone will be licking your ass, then it's just common decency :D

Most doctors call that "priapism". :laugh:

There is a subtle technique that enables one to avoid the splash.

I have a built in assgasket, and a technique... it's called Skin and a Shower.

You really think that thin piece of paper is going to protect you?

Seeing as I'm not some kind of paraniod germophobe, no I don't use them.

Number of public toilets I've sat on: lots.

Number of diseases I've caught from them: zero.
