Everything uses scarce resources. Let’s just let people do whatever they’re most comfortable with when it comes to their butts.

Prices will take care of that other stuff.

I read somewhere that they used a communal sponge in roman times.

That is unspeakably gross.

I know, but at that day and age, it was one of the more clean options.

I don't know. I grew up in the woods and it seems way cleaner to grab some big leaves than to share a sponge.

oh man, those poison ivy leaves. So soft!

We didn't have poison ivy, but we did have neddles. Fortunately, I never made that mistake.

Did you have to plant called milkweek? Or rabbits ear? That is very soft!

We have that where I live now. I avoid touching anything that I didn't grow up with. Better safe than sorry.

Prices will take care of that other stuff.

I agree to this point but letting people do whatever they wanna do with their butts may recieve lot of ramifications! 😜
