Do you wash your hands after going to the toilet? This question is especially for men that think that going for a wee means that they don't have to wash their hands. I personally always wash my hands after going, and think that people who don't are lazy, inconsiderate, and damned right unhygienic. Also, in public toilets, I hate using urinals and always use the cubicles. I find it too strange getting 'it' out next to a stranger and ****ing right next to them. Even worse are men that talk to each other while they **** at the urinals! I just couldn't do it.

If we're just talking about micturation then usually I wash my hands, even if it is just a cursory rinse.

urine is sterile.

if you cut yourself badly in an inhospitable place and need to clean the wound to prevent infection, fresh urine is probably your best bet in the abscence of sterile saline solution.

And your hands are always dirtier than your genitals. But it's good common practice, since if you do always wash your hands after urinating then you'll probably do it three or four times a day at least, and your hands will be generally cleaner.

There is a little amusing appliction called the "Urinal Test" have you seen it? I think you might do well on it. Washing hands after the toilet is a must but the amount of men I see NOT doing this is obscene. How do you go on in a over crowded public toilet in say a pub for instance, do you always wait around for a cubical even though urinals are freely available?

Thank yourself you are not in Prison. I was required to take part in a exhibition in a prison one time. I noticed that the cubicals didn't have a door but a plank of wood going across the middle. Meaning that anyone using the cubicals would have their head and legs clearly visible to others, how embarassing.

its not if you have an infection

Urine would not be sterile if you had a urinary infection you mean.

Certainly, but if you don't, fresh urine is an acceptable substitute for sterile saline sol in an emergency.

I heard once there were more bacteria in a bowl of bombay mix at an Indian Takeaway, than down a toilet.

Interesting fact about urine, didn't know that.

You are right,washing hands is one of the basic practices in life and for anyone not to wash their hands after using the toilet is incomprehensible as well as disgusting. Also, there are a lot of perverts use public toilets and they do stand at the urinals looking for victims and other perverts, I know of one such incident when a young man was stood at the urinal for half an hour as he was still there when I went back for another wee wee. These days I do not stand at the urinal, as I prefer to go in the cubicle instead to avoid the disgusting perverts.

Gosh, I feel obsessed!! When I go to any public toilet I ALWAYS turn the tap on, wash my hands, get a paper towel, dry my hands, then get a couple more paper towels to turn off the tap and open the doors! If you think about the amount of people who go to the toilet then open the doors and turn the taps on, it's disgusting!!

Hal,

You must be an extremely handsome man if you fear that other men would find you attractive. I'm suprised you dare go out of your house. Perhaps if you kept your clothes on when you went into public toilets you wouldn't have so much to worry about.

I know this sounds strange but I sometimes wash my hands before touching the old man, don't want any cross contamination do we!!!

I also avoid door handles at toilets, If you see someone trying to open the toilet door with there foot or something, then its me.

I wish there were female urinals. There's nothing worse than standing in a long long queue waiting for a cubicle when you are desperate. Women's urinals would be awkward and clumsy. Women are badly designed for that sort of thing.

Oh yeah, I always wash my hands. Working in the catering/food/drink business you get into the habit of continually washing and rinsing them!

Ever since I trained as a chef when I left school I found out about different bacteria.
I realise that urine is in fact sterile, but when ever I go to the toilet I ALWAYS, ALWAYS have to wash my hands afterwards. In fact I'm constantly washing my hands when cooking too!

Better to be safe than sorry!

Ice cubes 'harbour toilet bugs'
Almost half the samples of ice taken by researchers from ice buckets and ice machines had traces of coliform bacteria - which comes from faeces. E.coli was found in one in 20 samples, say Health Protection Agency experts. They say that handwashing practices among bar staff needs to improve to lessen the risk of food poisoning outbreaks.- (BBC) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3110696.stm)

Ah, that's why I was feeling so rough on Sunday :P :o

Oh, I am, I am, I always keep my clothes on and filthy perverts will find anyone attractive, whatever their age or sex. Also, I go out of my house every day, but the trouble is, fighting them off at this age 32 next!!!

I work in a local high school and am constantly amazed by the lack of hygiene particularly amongst the girls as being female I do not enter the boys toilets. When I ask them if they are going to wash their hands they seem surprised and usually just let water dribble over their hands and thing that is enough.

Good practice starts at home. I live with an obsessive hand washer but I never worry about getting food poisoning from him. Compulsions can be good:lol:

Seriously though we should wash our hands never mind urine is sterile people aren't and they are touching handles, taps etc all the time and hand washing is a good way to avoid catching colds
