Also You cannot judge Asian toilet culture by Western standard of thinking.

Well, when I was in Japan, I saw the most disgusting public Japanese style toilets. Like people couldn’t even aim straight when they were squatting and shit was literally all over the place. I walked the hell out and held my crap until I got to my friend’s place. You gotta love those Toto washlets!

I’ve been in Japan last year and I could see by myself how clear all toilet seats is!!! It’s unbelievable!
You couldn’t imagine how disgusting is to use a public toilet in Brazil, even in the most “civilized” places.

And just as curiosity I watched on “Mythbusters” that the seat properly isn’t the place where germs are. There is a lot in the latch, in the tap, even much more in your keyboard at this moment instead of the toilet seat.

I never sit on the seat. I just hover above it so I don’t come in contact with seat germs.

For the 49.5% of Q3, including probably several percents of the 62.1% of Q2, they should know that heating the seat would increase the activity of the bacterias of the “little unhygienic” seats. But I feel that despite huge pride and manners more rigorous than anywhere else, for Japanese self-comfort primes.

That’s an interesting survey! Personally I think the bum washing difference is related to the prostate … what do you like and think, WJT readers?
