Hardly -- I backed away from the discussion because its very difficult to convince someone to be LESS clean than they are, especially if they're female (no penis-holding). That said, punji sticks were irrelevant to the discussion at hand..

Feces -- of course feces is harmful to you, I've never argued otherwise. It contains all the BAD bacteria that you're excreting, including e coli. It had nothing to do with poop, but the fact that men DO NOT need to wash their hands after urinating.

These same bacteria are hanging out on the surface and in the pores of your skin in your genital area. They can't be washed off; they're normal flora. So long as they stay there, we're all fine. However, whenever you touch yourself down there, you're picking some up. If you then touch something you're going to eat, or something someone else is going to eat, or another surface that someone else is going to touch, you're spreading your germs around.

Certainly there ARE coliform bacteria, but they're almost entirely located around the anus. Yes, Cecil got this one wrong too. An argument from common sense that corrobrates this? Men and women alike put "dirty" penises in their mouth all the time, suck on them, lick them, and do all sorts of other dirty things.. why don't THEY die of the coliform bacteria? Sucking a penis or licking a vagina spread the virus (and purported illness) far quicker than your hands would, and yet we do not see this? I fail to see how the four fingers required to hold the penis in position during urination are becoming are such huge disease-spreaders if direct contact with your mouth does not contract a similar illness.
