Truthfully, I don't get how people do this! My arms are not that long. Unless I'm wiping from over my butt (instead of between my legs), it's just not physically possible.

I still wipe back to front, but have only ever had one uti, and that was at 37.


Oh God oh God oh god, you're making me feel sick. I didn't know wiping back to front was a thing. It sounds so disgusting.

Did you find this out on your tv show with your first husband? If so, hi Jessica!

Almost always? I think you’re a little off with that assertion.


Ask your college kids. They will all tell you that every guy or girl has had at least one same sex experience.




Maybe now. But this was not at all the norm in the past, I never experimented with the same sex and I was pretty sexually adventurous I must say.

This made me think of the old movie

Ha! I thought exactly the same thing. I love that movie.

What??? Must be the Bethesda moms.


Agreed. I will never allow this in my home - I don’t care if I’m not a “cool” parent

I would totally allow it if the other parents are ok with it. Would make sure my son knows how to use condoms, bonus points if the other parents are open to the pill for their daughter (would still have my son use condoms).
It is much better if the kids release their sexual tension in a safe environment. They will find a way to do it anyway but who knows how and where.


You are horrible. I bet you get your rocks off listening to your son and his girlfriend

My son is only 9! You are the pervert, I didn’t even think about what you suggested.
But in theory I have no objections. If they have figured out the sex thing, they need the place to do it, no? I remember so much hassle looking for a place when I was young...


Right? That's kinda the point.


‘Looking for a place’ besides my parents house (ugh) is what made it extra exciting for me. I’m a women, btw.

First it was - no regular AM daily pooping, and now people stand up to wipe their butt.

Ugh!!

Until one day I was standing in CVS with one of my daughters and I was buying some new plastic headbands. I pulled 2 off the rack. My daughter told me she didn't like them. I said they weren't for her, they were for me. She looked at me really oddly and asked why I didn't want the lady headbands. Sure enough the lady headbands are bigger than the little girl headbands.

Headache problem solved. Duh.

I didn’t know that people didn’t!


When we were building a new bathroom my DH and I had to discuss the layout and somehow this came up. Apparently he stands, though he didn’t teach the children to stand as far as I know.


Really? Who stands to wipe? That seems so unclean somehow ...


I was, until this very moment, utterly and completely unaware that people were even anatomically capable of wiping their asses while standing up.

I think someone is doing some wishful thinking. No way this is true. I’m sure it’s more prevalent for girls but still not common. But no way for boys.

My millennial laughed her head off about this. She says only girls desperate for male attention at parties are experimenting in college. Everyone else bicurious handled that back in middle school and either are really bi or figured out they aren’t.
