I guess you need me to list them. ( this is just getting funny.. telling people that cleaning their bum after number two is a positive thing.. i thought we covered this in pre-school, next up.. why you should use a washcloth or equivalent and not stick the bar of soap up your... crevices ) - smells - dirty laundry - Comfort (not wallowing in your own filth) - sweat does tend to flow.. bringing with it.. you guessed it. But onto your point about "disinfection". I don't know which alcohol baths you take, but full disinfection isn't the goal. But since you need evidence.. "How effective is soap over plain old water? It works, but all else being equal, water has a greater marginal effect.

If you actually cared about hygiene you'd be using something like wet-naps, since bidet nozzles aren't sanitary (would you rinse your mouth with a bidet nozzle?)

  Just no. I really don't understand this irrational, baseless fear. Water does clean. - Fatbergs ( danger in flushing them ) - Hands touching excrement, then you touching other surfaces. - No, an active nozzle can't get soiled the way you think. This is almost akin to thinking that a faucet can get dirty. The force of flow is a LOT larger than projectile acceleration no matter how bad those tacos where. In any case, most bidets have self cleaning, and anti microbial surfaces. But sure, keep on smelling. it's your choice after all.

    You're calling me irrational, but you're using folk pseudoscience to justify using bidets over wet-naps, which are superior to bidets. You can even get the scented ones that make your asshole actually smell nice.

      Why are creating an artificial either/or straw man situation and arguing it so vehemently?

        Well, the bidet discourse isn't actually about hygiene, as you can see. It's a bad faith culture war discourse used to establish cultural superiority over other people. There's no point engaging with bad faith discourse and treating it as if it's in good faith.
