    Any house with a toilet is covered in a micro layer of shit particles so most likely.

      Do you press your mouth against the toilet and flap your tongue around on it?

        Here’s the beautiful part: you don’t need to. Shit particles go everywhere.

        Is your ass always covered in shit? Maybe wash more dude.

        Again people do that to each other’s mouths which have way more bacteria and decaying food in it.

          That is still another level than actual shit though. No one argues mouths are hygenic. But to compare it to your butthole, I mean, no. There is a reason stuff like handwashing or flushable toilets increased life expectancy quite a bit, people stopped getting sick from all the stuff that comes out of our shit.

            Hand washing stops stuff getting in your mouth and eyes. There’s also way more bacteria in your mouth. Both are bad. You’re more likely to catch something from kissing.

              Ok dude, you do you.

              Not all bacteria are bad and there are big differences between mouth flora and butthole flora. That handwashing stops getting stuff into your eyes and mouth is exactly what I say, so thanks for confirming that. By doing that you prevent anything (or most of it) that comes from your shit to get into your mouth. But you still got bacteria there, just not the shit-kind.

              If you don’t want to accept that, fine.

                It’s not something I do personally btw. But people massively blow how dangerous it is out of proportion. As long as you clean yourself it’s really not very different to kissing.
