Honestly, cold water is fine, even that cold.

Here's why. First, your bungholio is one of the hottest spots on body, so while there might be a moment of surprise if the water is really cold, it will only be a moment. Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren't particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes. But temperature, they just don't pick up that kind of sensation as well as even the glutes themselves. Test it some time. A splash of cold water on you butt cheeks compared to your butt hole, it just won't bother you as much on the hole.

Also, depending in how your bidet is set up, you might not ever get warm water at all. There are definitely bidets that warm the water in the bidet, but most of them just run a pipe to the pipes under a sink or wherever. Which means the warm water has to come from the heater, through the pipes, and to your poop-pipe. It only takes a few seconds for the majority of a healthy poo's worth of residue to be gone. Even less healthy, or unhealthy poos won't take minutes of time.

So, you end up with your end only experiencing the cold anyway, unless you run it to get it warm before sitting down. Which isn't a good idea for other reasons, what with the water being a mini fountain.

Plus, the cool water feels nice.

Haha! It actually taught me those folks in the ER are definitely fulla crap cuz there's no way it's going in there without your explicit consent (and probably some deep breaths)

Seriously, cold water feels fine back there. Refreshing, even.

PSA: for anyone inferring things from this comment:

While the nerves around the asshole may not be super temperature sensitive, the rectum (which should not really be involved in your bidet usage, ideally you fully evacuate your bowels and use the bidet only to clean the anus externally) is important to your core temperature. Something like a cold bidet (which is by necessity at least 0*C) is not a problem, a cold buttplug is. You can safely use a refrigerated (or even frozen) dildo, but don’t involve temperature play in your anal play.

So what you’re saying is if someone is going through heat stroke, save them by giving them an ice buttplug?

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

Nice catch! I wouldn't have thought of it since I was focused on the bidet aspect, and I tend to forget that people will try anything with their butts if they don't know better. Thank you.

[-] don@lemm.ee 28 points 14 hours ago

As an unheated bidet user, yeah, this tracks.

[-] brokenlcd@feddit.it 4 points 12 hours ago

Then you have european style bidets, you may not be bothered by the cold water on your ass, but your hand will be an ice block by the time you are done.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Tbh, I've never needed a hand involved.

We have two, one that's handheld, the other that's an add-on to the toilet.

Both produce enough pressure that what little might be left after a brief spray can be handled by a second. Never need a second with the handheld, since it can be moved around.

Worst case, i pat dry with some tp and need a third spray.

Never been to Europe, So i wasn't aware it was common to use the hands to help the spray. The water pressure here is high enough in most places it wouldn't cross my mind.

Thank you for that info :)

[-] brokenlcd@feddit.it 2 points 5 hours ago

In europe bidets are different.

They are meant more as a 'general privates washing' thing. So it's not aimed at the asshole. So you either have to angle yourself in weird ways, or just use your hand to divert the water.

[-] feannag@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago

Plenty of bidets have a storage tank with pre heated water or heat the water prior to spraying your butt hole.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 hours ago

And in the UK the storage tank has hot tea.

Made my day, thanks!

[-] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 12 hours ago

Yea. In Japan I've never used a bidet that didn't heat the water. That's the standard here as far as I can tell.
