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.

As an unheated bidet user, yeah, this tracks.

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.

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.

[-] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

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

[-] feannag@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months 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.

[-] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 10 months ago

And in the UK the storage tank has hot tea.

[-] Welt@lazysoci.al 2 points 10 months ago

Made my day, thanks!

Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren’t particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes.

Ok yeah i was bout to say my A&GF were particularly sensitive that time i sat down on the shampoo bottle

“I tripped and fell I swear!”

[-] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

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)

[-] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 months ago

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

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.

Probably saw the ceiling up close

You might mean achieving sudden vertical velocity, but I like to think he stayed put while achieving eyesight superpowers even if for a brief moment before reacting, saw things the way the camera did in that famous shot in Jaws of Roy Scheider's face getting the dolly zoom treatment.

Thusly.

... give an ice dildo or buttplug a try ...

[-] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago
[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Don't knock it until you've tried it

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

So maybe do a little?

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I've only ever used cold water since I have one of those that go on the supply line. It just gets colder the longer you use it.

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 8 points 10 months ago

That's why even if you use bidets, you need toilet paper as backup.

[-] chemicalprophet@slrpnk.net 8 points 10 months ago

Cold shock proteins healed their ‘roids.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You do not need to use water heaters for your bidet! I have used the cold only, in below zero degree weather, and it’s fine, pleasant even.

[-] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

We will never be able to get along with such fundamental core differences.

[-] Droechai@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Some parts of the population has fundamental differences from the majority that inspires fear and loathing, but we should strive to rise above such affects (if that's the right word) and realize that they can be reintegrated into society by camps where they relearn how to proper wash their bung with proper warmth

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Iced the ol' vovos, huh?

It's worse if your cold water piping heats up in summer. So much worse.

[-] Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Rude, I think you miss gendered Jesse.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

How do you know their gender?

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

It's my super power

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Not sure what it was (written as) before, but Jesse identifies as a cis het white neanderthal-ish guy.

He's hilarious on probably science, and it's been a couple years but his "Jesse versus cancer" podcast was a highlight of my week when he was making them. Glad his ass didn't kill him
