Honestly probably the best written post I’ve seen on Lemmy.

        Any house with a toilet is covered in a micro layer of shit particles so most likely.

            If you leave the toilet lid up when flushing and keep the toothbrush out you’re not far from it!

            Is your ass always covered in shit? Maybe wash more dude.

            Again people do that to each other’s mouths which have way more bacteria and decaying food in it.

              That is still another level than actual shit though. No one argues mouths are hygenic. But to compare it to your butthole, I mean, no. There is a reason stuff like handwashing or flushable toilets increased life expectancy quite a bit, people stopped getting sick from all the stuff that comes out of our shit.

        They only really covered STIs. But there’s a huge range of things in your mouth. Colds and flus are big ones obviously. But also things like mono etc.

        Any exchange of fluids is a risk. Just have to be as clean as possible and choose your partners well.

          In that second comment they talk about the normal stuff that comes with oral/vaginal and how it’s not like what’s in/around the butt. STIs are called out as an exception, they aren’t what the comment is really about.

          The jist is that you can get some temporary inconvenience with a new partner, but it’s unlikely to be anything serious.
