Some american men refuse to touch their own penis while washing, due to a fear of it making them gay. I’d tell them they need therapy, but they’d tell me that therapy is for the weak.
There are valid concerns with regard to bidet use. They do result in aerosolized particulates in greater number than results from wiping, which means you are literally breathing more feces.
Is it enough to be problematic? Probably not, but that may also depend on how aggressively/frequently you use them.

There are a large number of Americans that think:
I know someone who thinks it just sprays shit over everything
I know a lot of people think the same thing. I’ve even seen people say so on here/reddit, on other bidet posts.
Because unfortunately, even stupid people know how to use the Internet.

What a cool country!
It’s the republicans. They push this moral filth on everyone.
I only have anecdotes, but as an American, it’s #1. It was my initial off the cuff thought. Buttholes are verboten here. Full stop.
Right? It’s really weird though because a lot of those same people talk about eating ass, a LOT.
Everybody, touch your asshole. Just once and from that day on you will be different
CUZ EATIN ASS FUCKIN RULEZ

As an American who’s unsure.
I don’t like the thought of water spraying into my ass
It doesn’t spray INTO your ass. I mean, I guess it could, but you’d have to REALLY try to make it happen.
You just need good sphincter control! It’s quite refreshing.
I’ve just been traumatized by water jets before 😅
I started using them in my adult life so maybe I can give some insight
it feels a little uncomfortable the first time. Not because it’s necessarily uncomfortable, but more because it’s a foreign feeling.
You get used to it after the 2nd or 3rd time though. Once you use a bidet it’s hard to go back to TP
Its really the first one tho.
Striaght american men will fight you before they will let water spray on their dirty asses.
