If you washed your balls clean enough, it doesn't matter. It's not like being a girl and having to deal with your period continuing while you wash and dry.

Who the fuck actually cares? Are straight guys so homophobic they can't even touch a towel that has touched their own freshly cleaned junk?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Nah, these guys ain't straight and/or cis. If touching their own balls makes them that uncomfy then they've got some stuff they're hiding and need to work through.

Edit: even so, tho, the OP doesn't look like they're a dude; which makes me wonder if she has a different towel for every part of her body. Like, damn bitch, granted I ain't straight or cis, but I use two towels, one for my hair, one for the rest of me. I may be a gal but I don't need more than that, and the hair one is mainly because my hair holds enough water that I kinda need a second towel.

For me it's more I don't want my head hair wrapped around my junk. It's uncomfortable, and behind deliberate about how I dry my body has made sure it doesn't happen anymore.

Count yourself lucky if a single guy has separate towels for handwashing and showering/bathing.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i'm single and i have two separate towels,,, but to be honest i only use the big one for everything, the small one is so guests don't dry their hands on the towel that dries my entire body

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

That's fair.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One towel is more than enough for bathing, hand washing, floor mopping, kitchen towel, car window washing, oil rag

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It is pretty fucked to make a guest use the towel you dry your ass with the dry their hands. I like to keep a seperate one just for that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm a single guy and I've got several matching body/ small towel combos. I wrap one of the small ones around my face bank robber bandana style when I wash my beard 2 or 3 times a week. On the other days I start with my head and work my way down with the same towel, hanging the unused small one by the sink as a hand towel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Why the bloody would you?

I put the tag in the same place every time and dry my ass with the opposite side as my face. It's my asshole I'm a little more "worried" about. It's mostly the thought of it touching the same place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Tag corner is for my face, adjacent corner for drying my hair, then the rest of my body gets the other end of the towel.

Plebs using towels? What is this? Caveman times?

My sexy robot servants blow me.

This tweet lives rent free in my head, often does the phrase "The towel forgets" pop into my brain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

But but guys if the cloth touches both your balls and your face then YOUR GAAAAYYYYY

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

I hate threads like this because it always reveals how many nasty motherfuckers there are in society.

....also, you've just stepped out of the shower 35 seconds earlier.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

I just shake my balls dry

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Finally, I can share my method.

  1. Start with the side of the towel that has the tag. Hold the towel so the tag is facing away from you (critical to a later step!)
  2. Dry hair with the top, then face in the next section down, followed by chest.
  3. Left arm is dried with the left side of the next section, right arm with the right side. At this point you should be about half way down the towel.
  4. Dry balls with the next section.
  5. Legs are next with the remaining section of the towel.
  6. Flip and dry the back and butt.

I got tired of finding head hair in my underwear so this method keeps the head drying section quite a bit away from the ball section, and keeps the ass drying away from hands arms, chest, face etc.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Are you me? This is almost exactly how I do it, with only some small modifications.

This is exactly how I've been drying myself for years! It's really simple, as when I'm done with the towel, I always hang it to dry on the hook the same way, and then grab it in the same way when I get out of the shower the next time. It takes no thought, and mostly ensures each "section" gets evenly distributed moisture absorption.

Might be better at reducing hair than just shaking the towel after drying the head, huh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Believe me, my genetics are already trying their best to remove what hair I have left on my head.

I use the center of the towel for the face, the ends for bottom half of my body and a separate one for hands outside of bathtime.

In all seriousness I wash myself with a exfiltrating scrub and clean enough where it doesn't matter how I dry myself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Pure truth.

Towels change when they smell

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

All you gotta do is follow the law, the law of gravity. Start at the top and work your way down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

And soap is ablative

custom bowling ball towel

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

I do have two towels but that's because of my long hair, the ball towel and face towel remain the same with the same rules.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It didn't make sense at first, but I realised bald men may indeed start with the balls or leg hair first and work up. Wherever has most hair holding most water, really
