In the course of an average day our hands touch a hell of a lot dirtier things than our crotch.

And as Penn and Teller proved, your crotch is about the cleanest place on your body. Your hands and face are the dirtiest.

So.... rubbing your d1ck in someones face might be considered 'cleaning up'. I'm gonna try that next time a chick comes over to my place. 😛
 
sometimes i touch something nasty , like some people eat on their keyboard and i need to pee also.. i rather wash my hand and take a piss.. and wash again..
 
Oh, forgot another reason why i do it... sometimes i go in with the intent to just wash my hands, but then hearing running water makes me want to pee.
 
The guy wasn't handling chemicals; he's an IT guy like me.

However, the Muslim thing *might* make sense. He's from India; they have Muslims in India, right?

/edit Why should being Muslim make a difference, anyway? 😕
 
I do that if I'm messing around with dirty equipment. Today I have been playing around with a loudspeaker that has been in the factory for 12 years, so my hands were filthy. I wash them before I touch my pants so I don't get them dirty, either.
 
I wash my hands before and after using the bathroom. Do I really want all the germs that are on my hands getting on my "unit" or my ass? NO
 
ATOT is really fvcking amazing. The consensus seems to be that your penis is clean so you don't need to wash your hands after peeing, YET there's mass confusion when someone washes his dirty hands before touching his clean penis. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Huh? I wash my hands, touch my (albeit sterile) weener, flush the toilet that has germs on it, and then go on my merry way? That's better than just washing my hands after all is said and done? 😕

/edit Wait, so, we're assuming here that just before I go to the bathroom, my hands have accumulated germs despite being nowhere near anybody else? Geez, it MUST be OCD. :roll:

it only took you 5926 posts to figure out the members of this forum are out of their fvcking skulls?
 
I used to work as a cashier, touching $$ all day. No matter how bad I had to go, I made damn sure I washed my hands before touching the wang. We all know how dirty $$ is (plus you should see some of the people who handed the cash to me).

For the most part your weener and the toilet are quite sterile. So, they don't really get you dirty. Whatever is on them is most likely already on you (this is pretty obvious for the weener part if it is on your weener you are already infected with it). So washing your hands after doesn't really give you any additional protection. You are only washing off part of what is covering the rest of you.

But what you have on your hands before hand can easilly infect your weener. Your hands are covered with germs that can't get inside (skin protects you). But your weener has a large opening begging for them to enter your body. The warm, moist, dark environment inside your underwear is perfect for whatever germs your hands bring there to breed and multiply and enter your weener.

You may roll your eyes at it, but it is the truth.

Well geez, that's the only thing that's made a lick of practical sense so far.

Probably Pakistan if he's Muslim.
 
does it mean that if u wash ur hands after using the restroom only because ur genitalia is the dirtiest body part? of course not. vice versa, may it be a habit or for hygiene purpose, think whatever you like. 🙂
 
I never really did that until I started working on PC's. I've opened up computers where you'd swear there was a cat inside because there was so much dirt, dust and hair.

But after I opened the pet urined stained one with dead cockroaches and roach feces inside I made it a rule to wash my hands before going EVERY time.

In other cultures one is supposed to wash their hands before peeing. I understood this was true for muslims, but may apply to others (Hindu, whatever) as well.
