If you're scared enough, even wiping your ass is gay.

That's outright disgusting.

If you need to regularly scratch your anus, go see a doctor.

Also, even if you do need to scratch your anus, why wouldn't you be able to eat with your hands? SURELY you sanitize them properly RIGHT? RIGHT?!

Eat with the right, touch anus with the left and always wash hands before you eat. Developed cultures have done this for ages. And they have clean bumholes because they wash instead of only smearing with toilet paper. That shit is disgusting.

Washing can also help against the itchiness. As well as non-synthetic underwear. If those don't help, do indeed see a doctor.

People who think like this don't wash their hands after going to the toilet, so of course it's disgusting for them.

If you need to regularly scratch your anus, you probably have parasites. That's one of the prime ways for some species of parasites (roundworms, I think?, probably tapeworms too?) to spread.

If you have a tenia, you are never alone.

Has this man never eaten a sandwich? Pizza? French Fries? Tacos? What is this nonsense?

Eating food with your hands is unsanitary?

He really posted about his itchy anus on twitter?
