Mandet Mandate?


I poked around a little for fun. And I also did a quick online search. "Mandet" is a neologism in modern English, but bidets designed for men exist. 

I thought that all bidets were meant for post-potty cleaning. There's so much more. I learned that man-bidets could be used before or after sexual intercourse (presumably with someone else), treating hemorrhoids or jock itch, or even nobler goals. I remain too unsophisticated to appreciate the added value over a wet washcloth. Also unclear why any bidet couldn't be used by any sex, gender, or junk. 

These are images from a quick online search. Notice anything these men have in common? 

Rate them on a 1-5 scale for:

Youthful
Successful
Handsome
Physically healthy
Manly
Not-nerdy

But all products aimed toward men use such men, right? No. Wilford Brimley. Life Insurance. Senior living. Oxygen machines. Timeshares. AARP. Manpons.

"I read a business paper. I wear nice clothes, even on the toilet/mandet. I have the hair, beard, and build of a model."

--If I buy one, will I be cool like you?"
 
"I just shit my pants."

--"Do you offer same-day shipping?"

This "bidet for men" claims 80 reviews averaging 4.9/5 stars. I see how it could work without any installation. Squat over the pipe, this guy raises his right arm, and you no longer need toilet paper. That guy would, but that's his problem. They instead have a video showing how it's *meant* to work - with *water*.

I bought this bidet. Then I realized there's no room in my bathroom.

This guy's face looks like mine probably did after the sadist sink assaulted me. That was 2 days ago. Lefty remains resentful. 
This guy has a great video on male bidet use:

Thumbs-up! Not to convey approval. This is part of my action schema for using my mandet.


Yes. Moss.
Moss.
