A woman on Reddit has shared her disgust at realising that her boyfriend doesn't wipe his backside after he's been for a poo, and the reason why he believes that he doesn't have to.
In a post shared on the website - which we'll just for the sake of argument assume is genuine - the woman explained how her boyfriend told her that his high-fibre diet means that wiping is completely unnecessary for him.
The 28-year-old doesn't use a bidet or anything else, he just does his business, pulls his trousers up, and gets on with his day.
Shameful behaviour, really.
Sharing the story on Reddit asking for help and advice from others, the 21-year-old woman wrote: "I lurk on Reddit a lot and my boyfriend doesn't, so I sometimes tell him about entertaining/interesting posts I see on here.
"Usually it's just memes or funny stuff, but sometimes it's threads on here that are about really wild relationship drama.
"The other day I read out loud a thread about someone whose boyfriend didn't wipe his ass after pooping and would get streak stains on his underwear.
"I expected him to laugh but he just kind of started at me for a second and said 'well it's because he doesn't get enough fiber'."
She continued: "I asked what he meant and was like 'if you have enough fiber, you have solid poop that breaks off cleanly and you don't need to wipe'.
"I was stunned. Sometimes he likes to troll me so I thought that was the case, but he was dead serious.
"I asked him if he doesn't wipe and he said he has good nutrition so there's no need.
"I kept insisting that there's always going to be some residue and that you need to use toilet paper after pooping, and he just got mad and said I need to take fiber supplements since obviously I must have loose stools and he said I was 'projecting.'
"I was just going to drop it, but he went grocery shopping the other day and BROUGHT HOME SOME FIBER SUPPLEMENTS FOR ME."
Yikes, imagine admitting that you don't wipe your arse, then doubling down in this kind of dramatic fashion.
The story went on: "He laughed and said that I should be glad he chips into the cost of toilet paper, since I'm the only one who needs it.
"I got frustrated and said he was being a d***, but he said he was joking (about the toilet paper, not the supplements) and that I was being too sensitive.
"I said I was really grossed out by him not wiping and I've felt unattracted to him since then... we've had sex twice since then but I wasn't into it at all and couldn't get turned on.
"I want to tell him this but I know he'll just get mad again and make fun of me.
"Should I just drop the subject or insist he start wiping? I don't want our sex life to suffer and I'm tired of him talking about f****** fiber, but now I'm wondering if I *am* just acting crazy."
Nope, there's only one person acting weird in this relationship. Luckily, most people on the thread agreed with that assertion.
One person said: "I think your boyfriend might be right, with the amount of s*** coming out of his mouth there can't be any left to go through his ass."
Another wrote: "You're not crazy, this is gross. And if he never wipes, how could he confirm that there's nothing there to wipe? Yuck."
In a follow-up comment, the woman confirmed: "I've never smelled anything, in his defense... he showers daily, so I guess any residue comes off then?
"It just grosses me out to think about him not wiping though."
Yeah, that's a perfectly normal reaction.
