    If this has already been discussed, then send it to the crapper.

    First off this is a shameless plug, to help my fellow plumbers out for future work.

    Cold water can have a temporary anti aging effect for the mature gentleman in your life, and for thousands less than cosmetic surgery. Just imagine how youthful you'll feel 5 seconds after your morning (and afternoon and three times that night if you had tacos) rinse!

    Cheaper than the alternative!

    Scrotoplasty, the name alone makes my eye twinge.. Sounds like the alternative method is a better option.

    Cold water.... chilled water would get a better pucker factor.

    Market a bidet with a chiller unit and call it the Fountain of Youth.

    Brilliant idea thanks for your help.

    I'm definitely thankful to have a bidet, and I don't want to ever return to dry wiping.
    The best part is, I don't have to buy a squatty potty now.

    That's my best option at the moment.

    When the TP crisis hit, I told my wife looks like you're getting that bidet you wanted when we remodel the bathroom.

    So, which is best? Drinkin' fountain style or hand sprayer?

    Also, I gotta disagree with an implied assumption in the first post - water running over your skin alone doesn't do all the cleaning. If that were so I wouldn't need soap or shampoo when I shower nor would I need a washcloth.

    Also, TP does more than just spread the poo around, although there will always be a trace left over no matter how much effort goes in. That's why I always follow up with a shower and not just a stream of water.

    If you have "bowels as regular as a German trail schedule--Dr. Sheldon Cooper; Phd." then a shower afterward is the way to go, but sometimes that is impossible. Then TP and a wash cloth is the best.

    If you're talking about a hand sprayer that has a cold water supply only, then IMO the actual fixture is better. However, installing a plumbing fixture is more expense versus a hand sprayer that gets it's water supply from a water closet. The hand sprayer keeps all fecal matter in the water closet. The bidet will need to be periodically cleaned.

    Some folks prefer the bidet seat. These come with many different options but they're not cheap when supplied with a heater, blow drier, heated seat.

    The point being made is that using water is better and cleaner than dry wiping. Some people use water alone, some people dry wipe once before using a bidet, some people dry wipe use bidet with soap and water. I'm sure somebody has some other method.

    Nobody is implying that water alone is the cleanest method just that it's cleaner than TP.

    Even if you use soap, it's the water that cleans you. Otherwise, you would just be left soapy.
