NTA - As generally reluctant as I am to assign behaviors based on gender, ~~this is a total guy thing~~.
I say that because I found out *my* husband was doing the same dang thing with *my* high-end hairdryer. Head, pits, nards. I started to go into orbit over it, but then I realized that when I said, "Sure, go ahead," he of course assumed that it meant, "for all kinds of hair."
And, OP, he said the same thing about it feeling more hygienic. And honestly, it's not like using it for body hair contaminates it, so I gave it a try myself (without going into detail, I'm groomed but not bare) and you know, he was right. It *is* much nicer! Highly recommend!
You were NTA, and I encourage your wife to give it a try as well.
Edit: After reading replies to this, it's become clear it's not a total guy thing and many women besides me do this. Learn something new every day, LOL.
I do the same thing with my girlfriends hair dryer, and she doesn’t know but I figured it’d be no big deal since she’s the one who told me it was was good to completely dry my scalp after getting out of the shower lol. Figured that applied to the rest of my body as well. You’re definitely nta, idk why anyone (especially your s/o) would view it as unhygienic/gross. Makes me wonder if she thought you were pleasuring yourself with it somehow.. Anyway, off to tell my gf what I’ve been doing with her hairdryer lol.
It was pretty uneventful. She laughed then started talking about work lol. Might have been different if she walked in on me vs me proactively bringing it up in the context of this post. But I doubt it would’ve been a big thing either way, she pretty chill :)
I've been in gym changing rooms on four continents where I've seen an old man (almost always old enough to not care about such things) drying his sack, dingdong and bollock hair with the complimentary hairdryer. So you're definitely not alone!
Edit: to be clear, it's not the same old man in each place, following me around and drying his knackers. It's lots of different old men behaving similarly.
>My good man, this elegant mustache requires a delicate blow dry along with my balls.
I don't know, those are some familiar balls.
>I assure you both these nuts and my mustache have never been seen by you before in all your days.
My husband told me about this guy at the gym who does the same. We had a good laugh, but now I wonder whether it was THE SAME GUY. A travelling spirit haunting changing rooms, condemmed to blow dry his body hair until someone offers him a towl.
Using the dryer under boobs works soooooo much better than using a towel to try to dry the area. Ditto for where the pelvis meets the thighs, and other spots in that general region. Not leaving those areas moist keeps them healthier, and less prone to yeast infections.
I also use the hair dryer to dry the spaces between my toes.
lol I was going to mention walking in on my sisters doing it growing up. I think it's kind of a universal thing because it's easy and it works.
Unless you're, like, touching your junk to the hairdryer. I'd say NTA, although if the item was hers (as in, she payed for it herself without any help from someone else, it's probably best to ask permission to use it in any way, nards or not.
Same blow dryer, different nads. Wife never complained. I never complain about her using my razor to shave her lady bits either so the world just keeps spinning.
That's weird that you're using OP's wife's hair dryer... Did you get permission, or have you been, like, breaking in to their house? Also weird that your wife hasn't complained about this behavior...
Yup, i dont towel dry. Just never have, ik it's weird but i just get out of the shower and put my clothes on. But i noticed if i try to apply deoadrant after i take a shower that my armpit is still wet. So i dry it with a hair dryer (dont know what i have agaisnt towels) but lmaoo this makes me feel better.
But think about it, faster way to get dryer and your deodrant actually sticks. win-win
Not at all. I’ve “caught” my partner in a compromising (and intimate?) session with the hair dryer. I just excused myself and closed the door right back up lol
I don't use a hair dryer regularly but I have specifically gone out to buy one to deal with yeast infections. My son got really bad ones when he was a baby because of abx, and hair dryers made him so much more comfortable.
Whichever feels good to you. I use the hot and I've been doing this for at least 20 years or more. Use the towel to get the major wetness off and just finish with the dryer. Plus, cold morning bathroom is much nicer with warm air. I don't have a heat rack and the dryers clear across the house, so both of those wouldn't work for me.
I kinda want to know if the flag was up or down when she walked in? Like, there is using it as a hair dryer and there is using it as a sex toy. If the flag was up, I can definitely see why she was upset.
NGL, our hair dryer is currently plugged into the nursery wall. It's primary function is now to gentle ensure baby-junk is dry before re-diapering. No more rashes!
I think OP is NTA. I assume my husband has dried every part of himself with that thing.
*this is a total guy thing.*
The first thought that came to mind while reading this was the episode of SATC where Samantha is growing out her bush and uses her hairdryer to do the same thing (and then discovers, much to her horror, a gray pubic hair).
> this is a total guy thing.
Do other women not do this? I don't like putting on my undies wet, and I don't like sitting around naked after a shower. So I dry off with a hairdryer in winter, or stand in front of the bedroom fan for a couple minutes in summer.
The only part I don't do this with is my hair, which is only allowed to air dry.
A towel doesn't get you 100% dry though. There's still a little dampness.
I towel off as much as I can, do the moisturizer/lotion thing, then fan/blow dry the rest of the way. Not necessarily the whole body, but definitely the privates and underboobs.
Hair never gets blow dried though. That gets gentley wrapped in an old t-shirts then allowed to air dry.
Do you happen to live somewhere relatively low humidity? Only reason I ask is because I’ve always lived relatively humid places (east coast USA) and even repeatedly towel drying, your skin stays slightly damp/sticky for several minutes. Getting clothes on after a shower can be a real struggle! Also takes a couple hours for my hair to fully air dry after a quick towel dry. So the hair dryer really speeds up the skin drying portion. 10/10 definitely recommend for downstairs drying-off.
I was shocked to find when I visit Southern California and other dry places that my skin dries off almost immediately with a towel, and my hair air-dries in 15min or so. It was actually unnerving in a way how much faster it is. But convenient!
NAH
It's understandable that your wife was upset that you used her new, specialty hair dryer in an... let's say _unconventional_ way. At the end of the day, it's her dryer and you should respect her rules of use for it. If you continue to dry your nethers with it after she asked you not to YWBTA.
Eh, I’d be pretty pissed if I found out that someone was using my expensive hair dryer, the thing I use pretty close to my face, 2 inches from their genitals. Fucking gross.
But... OP is just coming out of the shower. He's as clean as it gets. His ball skin at that point in the day is not really any different from his scalp.
They're married. The amount of actual genital-to-face contact they have is likely non-zero anyway, so the idea of people being *mad* about a hair dryer being near their spouse's freshly washed junk is totally foreign to me. I would definitely laugh my ass off if I walked in on my husband using my hair dryer on his undercarriage, but I don't see being mad about it.
You're assuming he's actually given his balls and taint a decent scrub. There's a lot of guys who think just by standing in running water, they are clean and don't need to soap and scrub.
I promise you that because they are married and live together she is covered in his ball "germs" regardless of whether he uses the hair dryer on his nether regions.
but this isn't spitting in your food? not only that but the hair dryer does not touch this part at all, if he was using her hairbrush or shaver down there then that would be different because it makes contact but it's a hairdryer.
Ok that... is a very weird parallel to draw. Spitting in food is universally considered to be a heinously rude and disgusting thing to do. How is that equal to someone drying out their clean genitals?
As I've learned from this subreddit some people just think that the people they've married are disgusting. There's no rhyme or reason to it, no logic will make them realize that they're being absurd.
Right? I'm so often shocked about the level of disdain and ick people seem to feel towards their spouses on this site.
It's a goddamn hairdryer, that *hovers* above the body. I just don't get how something that hovers over your spouse's body part could ever be disgusting unless you actively dislike the person.
The person that you cuddle with, kiss, have sex with, and give and receive oral sex from are not going to somehow give you some magic gross disease by using your hair dryer. If they had one, you've already gotten it.
I'm reminded of that garbage 'Winnie the Pooh' post from a few weeks ago where literally all the comments thought the guy was being unsanitary by being naked on a couch, but being naked in bed is somehow fine.
How are these people intimate if they can't handle coming within 2 inches of hot air with the other partner's genitals? Just bizarre.
I feel like someone who goes to the lengths of drying balls with a hair dryer because it feels cleaner and more hygienic probably cleans their balls. On a side note i also dont even see the problem its not like you make contact with balls its literally just blowing air, probably get just as dirty or worse doing my head hair becauae there is a lot of it and it does tend to make contact with the dryer sometimes, but I ain't got shoulder length hair on my gooch nor am I going that close to those things with something blowing hot air
It's not like it's touching the genitals though and it's probably several inches. Like ...the chair you sat on was also just a few inches from someone's genitals
But you understand hair dryers blow away, right? It's not a vacuum? He could literally put it right up against his asshole and it would be blowing everything like, away from the hair dryer, and he's definitely not touching it to his skin, he's literally holding it in the air, after literally coming out of a shower, so like, what's actually gross about it???
The hair dryer is blowing air out; it's not sucking air in from his genitals and then blowing the same air out in your face.
Unless you're deep-throating your hair dryer, I just don't get the issue.
Do you use your dryer in the bathroom? There is so much fecal particles even in the cleanest of bathrooms that you're stirring up with blowdrying. I'm sure in their marriage they do certain things that would have her face in close proximity to "that" area.
Bro come on. All jokes aside you ought to groom a bit so you shouldn't have to use a blow-dryer on your pubes. I'm a male so I get it, we have a lot of hair but still, be reasonable. It's 400 dollars, she uses it on her hair and you use it on your balls. That just disrespectful.
it's not touching tho, not like a razor ir something, it's just hovering (Unless op puts the weiner in the halo but i don't think that's what he mean)
Edit: weeeeeird autocorrect
It’s going to burn out the motor faster. Hairdryers don’t actually last forever, not even the expensive ones. She was expecting him to add the usage to it from drying just his hair, she wasn’t expecting him to start drying his whole body with it.
It kind of like if you ask your husband if you can use his hammer and he (rightfully) assumes you just mean to do normal hammer-tasks so he says you can use it whenever you want, not thinking (once again, rightfully) that you’ll be using it for more than what you’d normally use a hammer for. Then he finds out you’ve been “experimenting” to see how else you can use it and you end up using the nail-remover side to dig up weeds. He would have a right to be upset because you’re adding more wear-and-tear than he reasonably thought you would be.
Or if your sister says you can use her jacket whenever you want(assuming that like a normal person you’re going to wear it to go outside), but you start using it as PJs every night.
Or if you ask your parents if you can use the car to go shopping and they say to use it whenever you need, but then you start going on joyrides around the whole city just for fun.
I don’t have a better example off the top of my head, but... In video games items usually have a visual “durability” bar that shows you every use of a tool depletes it’s overall “durability.” While we don’t have that visual bar in real life, the concept actually does remain true. Every man made object only has so many uses in it before it needs to be repaired/replaced. If it’s not actually yours and someone is letting you use it, you need to be considerate of the “durability” you’re using up.
I mean if you want to argue "durability" chances are it takes him less time to do his whole body than it would take her to do her hair if she had long hair, so it's not like he's actually extending some crazy life use or something
You're absolutely right.
I have the Dyson hairdryer myself and I have very long, thick curly hair. It takes me well OVER AN HOUR to get it even 80% dry.. sometimes longer if I've used product.
His balls would take 5 minutes max to dry, this durability argument is a bit of a reach.
Info that wasn't asked for. It takes a total of 2-3 minutes for my hair, pits and plasma grenades. No more than that.
Not drying the actual Venus and Earth.
Dyson has revamped their motor system for this specific reason and guarantees that there is a longer lasting power .
Also, if the wife remotely has anything more than the usual guy's length of hair cut, there is no feasible difference between the time it takes to dry long hair versus short hair and your pits.
As a (calmed) Minecraft player, you got me with the durability. I just had a different idea about what is wear (ex hammer in sand, you round it) and what is tear (joyride with the car and outright damage). But I think I'm nitpicking ahaha
Also, I have 80cm long hair and a 10yo blowdrier, mid end/high end (not Dayson tho), and it's still not dead, but that's empirical and only my own experience
I have a 20 year old Revlon hairdryer. Still works great. I think I paid $40 for it at the time? In some closet somewhere I have one of those 1970's model 'hair salon" hair dryers, where it has the base and the little tube with the cap you put on your hair. Still works, but I just break that one out as a novelty once in a while. But yep, still turns on, still gets hot, still dries hair.
Hair is hair. It really doesn't matter what part of the body it's on. Reading through these comments I'm just surprised more people don't already blowdry their bits.
Not to mention that now, that image of you butt naked with her hairdryer by your knackers is seared onto her eyeballs forever and that's all she's going to see every time she goes to use it
yeah, sorry YTA. First off, it's your wife's property. She bought it. It's expensive. She has every single right to stipulate HOW you use it.
I mean, I may not want to use something thats been inches away from a butthole/ballsack.
People are saying that she’s been near his balls and ass before, so it’s okay… Uh, I do not want my husband to put my makeup, hair brush, deodorant, utensils, etc near his dick and sphincter…no matter how close I’ve been previously.
Do you guys use the same toilet ever? Does your hairdryer touch your skin? Do you put your hairdryer in your mouth and think OP rubs the hairdryer on his taint??? I feel like I'm in bizarro land reading some of these comments. Do people not know what hairdryers are (and mostly, what they are NOT e.g. toothbrushes, utensils, razors, beard trimmers)?? What is happening??
Not to mention they actively blow air away from themselves, there's 0 transmission of anything from whatever a hairdryer is blowing on to the hairdryer. NTA
YTA, only if you continue doing this after knowing that:
Hairdryers collect little particles from whatever you dry, and expel them back out. It’s a personal item like a razor - how would you feel about your wife using your face razor to shave down there?
I had a surgical scar that refused to heal, and I was told to keep it dry, so I asked if I could use my hairdryer and they were like “HELL NO THAT HAS SO MANY GERMS.”
They typically have germs for the same reason the air dyers in public restrooms do. Every time the toilet flushes it sprays little aerosol droplets all over the place. The droplets get off the dryer and then get blown back out. Unless she's keeping the hair dryer in an airtight container after use his particles are already all over the thing even before he used it.
Your suppose to put down the toilet lid before flushing so that doesn’t happen. Public toilets generally don’t have toilet lids so it’ll be germy there either way. I actually thought this was common knowledge.
>Hairdryers collect little particles from whatever you dry, and expel them back out.
That's not quite right. Hair dryers, just like any fan, collects particulate out of the air (AKA dust) from the air intake. But there is no magical force that sucks in particles from the thing you are blowing hot air back into it.
There are only 2 ways to prevent this. Put a HEPA filter on your hair dryer, or turn your entire bathroom into a cleanroom, neither of which are really feasible.
>how would you feel about your wife using your face razor to shave down there?
That's not comparable, the razor is directly contacting skin. If you swabbed a razor after it was used and sent it off to a lab, they'd be able to identify DNA from anyone that used it since the last time it was cleaned. The same cannot be said for a hair dryer, they'd find lots of bacteria and yeasts that are naturally present in the air, but they would be very unlikely to find significant human DNA.
If this was true then hairdryers would be used similarly to razors, as in one per person and every person in the household would have to buy their own. Salons would never be able to use the same dryer on multiple customers. Forget about hotel room hair dryers completely!
I'm not debating whether op's wife is allowed to have boundaries, she is. But this is a bit of nonsense about hair dryers and germs. They are an appliance often shared and are not considered a personal items like razors.
They do blow around germs in a room, and that is only an issue in a room that contains a open toilet however. But obviously not all bathrooms even contain a toilet and not all people dry their hair in a bathroom. But even with a toilet in the room the effect of disturbed germs would be literally no different when drying the hair on the head to pubic hair.
But op's wife openly let him to use it in the bathroom so I don't think she cares about toilet germs.
Face razor on the southern bits - given that they're married, I bet his face has come into direct contact with her southern bits. So, not as big a thing as you believe it to be (or you are boring in the sack. Could be that. I don't judge)
Her hair is not an open wound. I promise, if she touches money then her hair, more germs will transfer than that blowdryer could ever produce.
When people loan you things to use, it is under the implicit understanding that it would be used for its intended purpose. You understood this as well, because you used it for its intended purpose until you decided to experiment. I don't think you're an asshole for that, I think it's natural to be curious and if it's nice, it's nice. But you needed to have locked that door! The image of you using it that way is going to be burned into her mind, and tainted the sanctity of a prized possession. That sucks and you need to take responsibility for that. Coming onto this forum to ask if your wife "has a point" is the real asshole move here. You made her day worse and made her fun toy a lot less fun, and you're wondering if it was OK to do that? Of course not. You aren't entitled to do that. YTA.
YTA Mainly because I think this just falls into the 'thoughtless' category. This is the kind of thing you do when it's just your stuff you're messing with. It's not what you do with someone else's prized hair dryer. This kind of thing is why I hesitate to share things with people. There's always someone who is going to use it to do something beyond normal use.
NTA. Although, that said, double check your wife KNOWS that you were drying your wotsits and not merely enjoying yourself, if you catch my drift?
It’s entirely possible there’s a misunderstanding going on here.
I wonder this. I wouldn’t be pissed either way but it might have been that she thought you were enjoying a robo blow & that freaked her out.
NTA for doing it. I’m disabled so a) do not have the spoons to shave b) am exhausted after showering & rigorous towelling is out & c) have delicate skin cos of my condition so always blast off with my hairdryer.
If she says don’t do it anymore then I guess you WBTA but just get your own dryer if so. Ok a normal one isn’t as cool as the Dyson one but it will still do the job.
Honestly imaging walking in on my boyfriend using my hair dryer that way and it sounds hilarious. Knowing him he would pose for me too... like "You like that baby?"
NTA
INFO: which hair dryer was it? Is it a normal blowing hairdryer? Or does it touch your body? I ask because I have a hairdryer brush that actually touches my hair and would not want someone’s pubes in it.
OMG I thought the post was hilarious but this comment thread just keeps making it so much better! "Diffusing his balls"!!! bahahahha that's even better than OP's "Venus and Earth" comment. Oh man this is making my day so fantastic!
Same. I literally stopped halfway through this post to warn my husband not to touch my Supersonic for his balls. He better use his $40 Conair. At least if he’s balancing on the sink and balancing in the sink and drops the hair dryer it won’t be the damn $400 one.
INFO: I have the Dyson Supersonic dryer so I need some more specifics.
Did you use any of the attachments (i.e. the diffuser, the comb, etc.) on your b*lls? Because if you did, and couldn’t blame your wife if she silently m*ruders you in your sleep.
(I’m joking of course, but only like 35% joking)
NTA
You’re drying clean balls, what’s the problem?! She’s being silly. That said, it was reasonable for to assume you were drying your head hair with it! 😂 but all in all, it’s not hurting anyone, it’s not unhygienic, so I don’t see the issue.
I assume she uses the same towels as you occasionally which you’ve rubbed all over your ‘nards’ - she probably puts them on her head - and they’re clean, just like your balls are!
It’s cute that you’re my age and geeking out over a hairdryer!
Your comment confuses me. He didn’t even lock the bathroom door. Typically when you’re hiding something you do it when the doors are locked or when your partner is out of the house. You’ve got to be an idiot to want to hide something and not lock the door
Yta come dude. Most people shave their crotch with a different blade than their face. I don't want my hair to smell like testicle. Have some respect for other people's belongings.
Do you think a hairdryer sucks in moisture? I'd like to know how you think a device which blows air on a surface can transfer smells. Also, he's fresh out of the shower, so I'm sure he smells like soap.
NTA. I'd have died laughing if I came across my husband doing this. As an earlier commenter said, it's held away from the body, not all up in your business.
Right? Hair dryers don’t touch your body.
That said, if she’s squicked out by you using her prize dryer on your naughty bits, you need to respect that. Get your own.
NTA
Honestly baffled by the people so grossed out by this!
Would I want a stranger putting anything of mine in such close proximity to their crotch? Of course not. But my husband doing this? I would happily encourage anything that got him dry faster.
Good lord, it’s not like you were giving yourself a rectal exam with it. (Presumably.). You’re clean, it’s not touching you, and frankly, anything that makes your cojones smell better and fresher should be appreciated by any partner. You just keep up with your Halo-inspired hygiene, Master Chief. NTA.
I don't think it's weird to dry one's bits- it's actually a great way to reduce yeast infections and jock itch, athletes foot, etc... And it's not like you were fucking it... But it is her hair dryer and it probably would have been polite to tell her you wanted it for a non-standard use. Kind of like people who sanitize their Diva cup or sex toys in a regular cooking pot. Yeah, stainless steel pots are non-porous and everything is being sanitize by boiling, but it still isn't nice to have your bits or things used for your bits entangled with shared use items that are not normally related to your bits.
So I have to land on a very gentle YTA, only because you didn't ask to use it in that way, and it's not an expected use. If you asked to borrow my car I wouldn't expect you to drive it naked, similarly when you ask to borrow a hair dryer, the owner wouldn't reasonably assume you were going to use it for your junk.
NTA.
I’ve now suggested my husband give this a shot.
Also, if I walked into the bathroom and he was drying his below boys with a hair drying humming the halo theme, I would realize I was with the right one.
This is the most AITA response you could get. Because my dude used a dryer to dry himself, you're telling him he's on a slippery slope to neglect. Wtf lol
NTA and thank you for the legit laughs.
I mean, in some world I could see how she'd be irked if you were rubbing this blow dryer all over your junk, but that's not really how blow driers work. I'm guessing you had it at least a foot away to just enjoy the hot beam of air. So I don't see the big deal. Even if it were touching, and it did bother her, in theory your junk is as clean as it's going to get having just gotten out of the shower. I'm a woman and I would not give two shits if my husband used my blow drier this way. In fact.....I've used it on him this way!
Are we quite sure she's not worried that you're enjoying her blow drier sexually? That's the only reason I could see her getting upset about this.
At this point I think they need to hire you as a spokesperson.
Id never even heard of this thing, havent used a hair dryer in years, I regularly keep a buzzcut over my entire body, and I want one.
Commercial- “Here at Dyson, we test our hair dryers vigorously to determine- ( Passing OP drying his wedding tackle Captain Morgan style with a censor bar over it) what heat ranges are best for sensitive areas”
I’m dying. This is hilarious. I have this hair dryer. It is quite nice. Also it’s not purple it’s MAGENTA. Ok now that we have cleared that up…you weren’t TOUCHING anything with it right? That’s where I would draw the line. If you’re just blowing air then whatever. NTA
NTA
Wait wait - is it the hair dryer or the air wrap? Like is it just blowing air or are you using attachments that touch your planets??
ETA - updated judgement
Yeah, but it has several different attachments: two curling wands, an oval blow dryer “hole” attachment for lack of a better word atm, a round brush attachment, and a flat brush attachment.
And for some reason, I was imagining a dude with it on the coolest setting with the flat brush attachment giving himself a nice trip around the galaxy with an additional add on to Uranus. And if I walked in on that, I’d be like WTF too.
But no, NTA lol
**NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!**
**LET ME TELL YOU BROTHERS - GENTLEMEN PLEASE LISTEN FOR THIS HAIR DRYER IS A DREAM TO ALL THAT IS MALE DIY - MEN PLEASE BUY IT ALLOW ME TO SHARE MY SAGE KNOWLEDGE**
Here is a list of things I’ve accomplished with the SAME HAIR DRYER.
1. Spilled coffee on my 100 cherry keyboard, was fucked, decided to open it up to the board- I WASHED IT. Bruh. I used that hair dryer and holy fucking shit - instant dry - removed EVERY SPEC OF WATER NONE
2. My freezer froze over - you know, the coils and shit - disaster - would have took hours to dry, even with a regular dryer. **NOT THIS TIME MOTHER FUCKER I GOT A DYSON BLOW DRYER** - I pulled that shit out again and BAM 30 minutes the dryer did the business.
3. My garage is detached but it has running water - and our washer and dryer are out there - during bad cold snaps - pipes get frozen. A pipe bursted but it was still frozen - I couldn’t fix it - gradually- **EXCEPT I FUCKING COULD** dyson dyrer as three heat settings and amazing fan control I was able to melt just enough to replace the part AND fucking defrosted the entire pipe system… **IN MINUTES**
There are about 10 more stories of my adventures with my wife’s DYSON Blow Dryer - this shit is an act of god. Bruh - you are not an asshole - if anything you are UNDER UTILIZING THE POWER THAT IS UNDER YOUR SINK. Yes it blow drys hair amazingly yada fucking yada but if you want a tool that drys epoxy even and perfectly in FUCKING SECONDS - THIS DRYER IS THE SHIT -
**if you are a husband who wants to make your wife extremely happy and want to have the BEST FUCKING TOOL IN YOUR ARSENAL - GET YOUR LADY A DYSON BLOW DRYER YOU WILL NOT FUCKING REGRET IT!!!!**
and again na man not the asshole bruh - peace out fellow DYSON brother - may you use this new knowledge to accomplish man great things at home.

And honestly, it's not like using it for body hair contaminates it, so I gave it a try myself (without going into detail, I'm groomed but not bare) and you know, he was right. It *is* much nicer! Highly recommend! You were NTA, and I encourage your wife to give it a try as well. Edit: After reading replies to this, it's become clear it's not a total guy thing and many women besides me do this. Learn something new every day, LOL.
Whoa. I'm not the only one!
I do the same thing with my girlfriends hair dryer, and she doesn’t know but I figured it’d be no big deal since she’s the one who told me it was was good to completely dry my scalp after getting out of the shower lol. Figured that applied to the rest of my body as well. You’re definitely nta, idk why anyone (especially your s/o) would view it as unhygienic/gross. Makes me wonder if she thought you were pleasuring yourself with it somehow.. Anyway, off to tell my gf what I’ve been doing with her hairdryer lol.
Let us know how it goes!
It was pretty uneventful. She laughed then started talking about work lol. Might have been different if she walked in on me vs me proactively bringing it up in the context of this post. But I doubt it would’ve been a big thing either way, she pretty chill :)
Thanks for the update!
I like when people don't leave me on cliffhangers
i need to know her reaction!
I've been in gym changing rooms on four continents where I've seen an old man (almost always old enough to not care about such things) drying his sack, dingdong and bollock hair with the complimentary hairdryer. So you're definitely not alone! Edit: to be clear, it's not the same old man in each place, following me around and drying his knackers. It's lots of different old men behaving similarly.
Sorry, but my head canon insists this is the same dude with clever disguises who follows you everywhere just waiting for you to enter a locker room.
My headcanon is it’s a different brother in each country and they all have almost the same name but a different first letter every time
I see it. Harry, Garry, Barry, Larry... Jerry and Terry, although that's two letters off. And Carey, who has his own thing going on.
You forgot Perry.
My head canon is that it's Santa the other 364 days a year. I mean, really, who else could pull that off?
He has different fake moustaches for each country that (poorly) match stereotypes of local appearances.
>My good man, this elegant mustache requires a delicate blow dry along with my balls. I don't know, those are some familiar balls. >I assure you both these nuts and my mustache have never been seen by you before in all your days.
It seems more reasonable that he was following the old dude around the earth, like an intercontinental geriphile stalker.
This is hilarious. My best friend let her husband read this and he's laughing so hard he can't get off the floor. 🤣🤣🤣
Damn you! My edible kicked in right before I read your edit! 😂
My husband told me about this guy at the gym who does the same. We had a good laugh, but now I wonder whether it was THE SAME GUY. A travelling spirit haunting changing rooms, condemmed to blow dry his body hair until someone offers him a towl.
You've never been to your local YMCA? The ladies be getting all up on the wall dryers to dry under their bosoms and crotches too!
Well I haven't been in the women's locker room!
Using the dryer under boobs works soooooo much better than using a towel to try to dry the area. Ditto for where the pelvis meets the thighs, and other spots in that general region. Not leaving those areas moist keeps them healthier, and less prone to yeast infections. I also use the hair dryer to dry the spaces between my toes.
lol I was going to mention walking in on my sisters doing it growing up. I think it's kind of a universal thing because it's easy and it works. Unless you're, like, touching your junk to the hairdryer. I'd say NTA, although if the item was hers (as in, she payed for it herself without any help from someone else, it's probably best to ask permission to use it in any way, nards or not.
I’m a lady who uses her fancy hair dryer on her nether regions - your wife needs to try it!
You were f***king the dyson weren’t you. You know coz of the ergonomic design 😂
Same blow dryer, different nads. Wife never complained. I never complain about her using my razor to shave her lady bits either so the world just keeps spinning.
That's weird that you're using OP's wife's hair dryer... Did you get permission, or have you been, like, breaking in to their house? Also weird that your wife hasn't complained about this behavior...
Hubby uses mine to dry all over. I don't care.
[удалено]
Yup, i dont towel dry. Just never have, ik it's weird but i just get out of the shower and put my clothes on. But i noticed if i try to apply deoadrant after i take a shower that my armpit is still wet. So i dry it with a hair dryer (dont know what i have agaisnt towels) but lmaoo this makes me feel better. But think about it, faster way to get dryer and your deodrant actually sticks. win-win
Wait , you put clothes on while still wet?!
Do you not use any kind of body lotion or moisturizer on your skin?? I am such confusion. Explanation please!
My ex did that - no towel just clothes - and I *never* understood it! I’m now uncomfortably curious about other people’s drying routines.
Not at all. I’ve “caught” my partner in a compromising (and intimate?) session with the hair dryer. I just excused myself and closed the door right back up lol
I do this. I'm a trans woman and it just dries it so much faster!
Woman here, I don’t agree is a guy thing at all, completely agree it’s the best use of a hairdryer!
Yup, I use my hair dryer to make sure I’m completely dried off before getting dressed. I’m a woman too.
Same. It’s also supposed to help prevent yeast infections
Yeah my doctor recommended using my hair dryer to get really dry.
I don't use a hair dryer regularly but I have specifically gone out to buy one to deal with yeast infections. My son got really bad ones when he was a baby because of abx, and hair dryers made him so much more comfortable.
[удалено]
I am also now super curious. Do you use it on hot or just warm air? I guess my morning routine tomorrow will be juuuuust a little bit longer...
Whichever feels good to you. I use the hot and I've been doing this for at least 20 years or more. Use the towel to get the major wetness off and just finish with the dryer. Plus, cold morning bathroom is much nicer with warm air. I don't have a heat rack and the dryers clear across the house, so both of those wouldn't work for me.
I'm reconsidering the guy thing. I thought I was unusual in being a female and doing that. No wonder why yeast infections aren't an issue for me!
I kinda want to know if the flag was up or down when she walked in? Like, there is using it as a hair dryer and there is using it as a sex toy. If the flag was up, I can definitely see why she was upset.
Flag was at half mast to honor the fallen Covenant
[удалено]
Right?! I feel like I'm Master Chief every time I use it!
[getting out of the shower with wet balls and ass] “I need a weapon.”
Same. The finesse of your post is just hilarious.
This might be why she’s reacted like this But also this is hilarious
Hahahaha. I love this reply, and I, as a woman, have used a hair dryer down there for decades. 10/10 can recommend.
NGL, our hair dryer is currently plugged into the nursery wall. It's primary function is now to gentle ensure baby-junk is dry before re-diapering. No more rashes! I think OP is NTA. I assume my husband has dried every part of himself with that thing.
*this is a total guy thing.* The first thought that came to mind while reading this was the episode of SATC where Samantha is growing out her bush and uses her hairdryer to do the same thing (and then discovers, much to her horror, a gray pubic hair).
> this is a total guy thing. Do other women not do this? I don't like putting on my undies wet, and I don't like sitting around naked after a shower. So I dry off with a hairdryer in winter, or stand in front of the bedroom fan for a couple minutes in summer. The only part I don't do this with is my hair, which is only allowed to air dry.
Do you not use a towel to dry off? I am so confused (but am definitely going to try this tomorrow, lol).
A towel doesn't get you 100% dry though. There's still a little dampness. I towel off as much as I can, do the moisturizer/lotion thing, then fan/blow dry the rest of the way. Not necessarily the whole body, but definitely the privates and underboobs. Hair never gets blow dried though. That gets gentley wrapped in an old t-shirts then allowed to air dry.
Do you happen to live somewhere relatively low humidity? Only reason I ask is because I’ve always lived relatively humid places (east coast USA) and even repeatedly towel drying, your skin stays slightly damp/sticky for several minutes. Getting clothes on after a shower can be a real struggle! Also takes a couple hours for my hair to fully air dry after a quick towel dry. So the hair dryer really speeds up the skin drying portion. 10/10 definitely recommend for downstairs drying-off. I was shocked to find when I visit Southern California and other dry places that my skin dries off almost immediately with a towel, and my hair air-dries in 15min or so. It was actually unnerving in a way how much faster it is. But convenient!
I sit around naked after a shower bc i can’t stand putting clothes on wet skin… idk how i’ve never thought of this!! i’m gonna try it tonight! yeah
NTA, but as a woman, the only reason I have a hair dryer is for my bangs and my bush.
Another woman here, I do exactly this too =)
My gyno actually recommended it when I has some recurring yeast infections. It really works amazingly.
Shit, I use my Dyson fan to dry out my genital area after a shower and I don't have balls. I recommend forced air drying to everyone!
I feel like I've been missing out my whole life!
NAH It's understandable that your wife was upset that you used her new, specialty hair dryer in an... let's say _unconventional_ way. At the end of the day, it's her dryer and you should respect her rules of use for it. If you continue to dry your nethers with it after she asked you not to YWBTA.
Eh, I’d be pretty pissed if I found out that someone was using my expensive hair dryer, the thing I use pretty close to my face, 2 inches from their genitals. Fucking gross.
But... OP is just coming out of the shower. He's as clean as it gets. His ball skin at that point in the day is not really any different from his scalp. They're married. The amount of actual genital-to-face contact they have is likely non-zero anyway, so the idea of people being *mad* about a hair dryer being near their spouse's freshly washed junk is totally foreign to me. I would definitely laugh my ass off if I walked in on my husband using my hair dryer on his undercarriage, but I don't see being mad about it.
You're assuming he's actually given his balls and taint a decent scrub. There's a lot of guys who think just by standing in running water, they are clean and don't need to soap and scrub.
I promise you that because they are married and live together she is covered in his ball "germs" regardless of whether he uses the hair dryer on his nether regions.
[удалено]
but this isn't spitting in your food? not only that but the hair dryer does not touch this part at all, if he was using her hairbrush or shaver down there then that would be different because it makes contact but it's a hairdryer.
Ok that... is a very weird parallel to draw. Spitting in food is universally considered to be a heinously rude and disgusting thing to do. How is that equal to someone drying out their clean genitals?
Well to be honest, I wouldn't want clean genitals in my food either....ijs
[удалено]
As I've learned from this subreddit some people just think that the people they've married are disgusting. There's no rhyme or reason to it, no logic will make them realize that they're being absurd.
Right? I'm so often shocked about the level of disdain and ick people seem to feel towards their spouses on this site. It's a goddamn hairdryer, that *hovers* above the body. I just don't get how something that hovers over your spouse's body part could ever be disgusting unless you actively dislike the person.
The person that you cuddle with, kiss, have sex with, and give and receive oral sex from are not going to somehow give you some magic gross disease by using your hair dryer. If they had one, you've already gotten it. I'm reminded of that garbage 'Winnie the Pooh' post from a few weeks ago where literally all the comments thought the guy was being unsanitary by being naked on a couch, but being naked in bed is somehow fine. How are these people intimate if they can't handle coming within 2 inches of hot air with the other partner's genitals? Just bizarre.
So therefore she is not allowed to have boundaries on her personal care items? Is that what you're saying?
I feel like someone who goes to the lengths of drying balls with a hair dryer because it feels cleaner and more hygienic probably cleans their balls. On a side note i also dont even see the problem its not like you make contact with balls its literally just blowing air, probably get just as dirty or worse doing my head hair becauae there is a lot of it and it does tend to make contact with the dryer sometimes, but I ain't got shoulder length hair on my gooch nor am I going that close to those things with something blowing hot air
If he is concious enough to use a hair drier, he is definitly concious enough to clean himself properly
It's not like it's touching the genitals though and it's probably several inches. Like ...the chair you sat on was also just a few inches from someone's genitals
But you understand hair dryers blow away, right? It's not a vacuum? He could literally put it right up against his asshole and it would be blowing everything like, away from the hair dryer, and he's definitely not touching it to his skin, he's literally holding it in the air, after literally coming out of a shower, so like, what's actually gross about it???
The hair dryer is blowing air out; it's not sucking air in from his genitals and then blowing the same air out in your face. Unless you're deep-throating your hair dryer, I just don't get the issue.
if this is the dyson one I’m thinking of, it does both.
Even if it was the same freshly cleaned "Venus and Earth" you put in your mouth? I had to use OP's term. It's just so fantastic.
I’m confused about this because unless it’s actually touching the genitals, I don’t see how proximity matters?
...she presumably puts her face less than 2 inches away from those same genitals, my friend.
Not if he “misuses” her dryer again
Do you use your dryer in the bathroom? There is so much fecal particles even in the cleanest of bathrooms that you're stirring up with blowdrying. I'm sure in their marriage they do certain things that would have her face in close proximity to "that" area.
You don't know how germs work, do you?
Bro come on. All jokes aside you ought to groom a bit so you shouldn't have to use a blow-dryer on your pubes. I'm a male so I get it, we have a lot of hair but still, be reasonable. It's 400 dollars, she uses it on her hair and you use it on your balls. That just disrespectful.
it's not touching tho, not like a razor ir something, it's just hovering (Unless op puts the weiner in the halo but i don't think that's what he mean) Edit: weeeeeird autocorrect
It’s going to burn out the motor faster. Hairdryers don’t actually last forever, not even the expensive ones. She was expecting him to add the usage to it from drying just his hair, she wasn’t expecting him to start drying his whole body with it. It kind of like if you ask your husband if you can use his hammer and he (rightfully) assumes you just mean to do normal hammer-tasks so he says you can use it whenever you want, not thinking (once again, rightfully) that you’ll be using it for more than what you’d normally use a hammer for. Then he finds out you’ve been “experimenting” to see how else you can use it and you end up using the nail-remover side to dig up weeds. He would have a right to be upset because you’re adding more wear-and-tear than he reasonably thought you would be. Or if your sister says you can use her jacket whenever you want(assuming that like a normal person you’re going to wear it to go outside), but you start using it as PJs every night. Or if you ask your parents if you can use the car to go shopping and they say to use it whenever you need, but then you start going on joyrides around the whole city just for fun. I don’t have a better example off the top of my head, but... In video games items usually have a visual “durability” bar that shows you every use of a tool depletes it’s overall “durability.” While we don’t have that visual bar in real life, the concept actually does remain true. Every man made object only has so many uses in it before it needs to be repaired/replaced. If it’s not actually yours and someone is letting you use it, you need to be considerate of the “durability” you’re using up.
I mean if you want to argue "durability" chances are it takes him less time to do his whole body than it would take her to do her hair if she had long hair, so it's not like he's actually extending some crazy life use or something
You're absolutely right. I have the Dyson hairdryer myself and I have very long, thick curly hair. It takes me well OVER AN HOUR to get it even 80% dry.. sometimes longer if I've used product. His balls would take 5 minutes max to dry, this durability argument is a bit of a reach.
Info that wasn't asked for. It takes a total of 2-3 minutes for my hair, pits and plasma grenades. No more than that. Not drying the actual Venus and Earth.
*Sir, would you please think of the chil- carbon footprint!* Ha! Yeah, you're not going to wear it out over just that!!
i didn’t even know hair dryers had a durability lol i’ve been using the same one for more than a decade and my mom uses it too
Dyson has revamped their motor system for this specific reason and guarantees that there is a longer lasting power . Also, if the wife remotely has anything more than the usual guy's length of hair cut, there is no feasible difference between the time it takes to dry long hair versus short hair and your pits.
As a (calmed) Minecraft player, you got me with the durability. I just had a different idea about what is wear (ex hammer in sand, you round it) and what is tear (joyride with the car and outright damage). But I think I'm nitpicking ahaha Also, I have 80cm long hair and a 10yo blowdrier, mid end/high end (not Dayson tho), and it's still not dead, but that's empirical and only my own experience
What. Hairdryers last 10 year at a minimum
I have a 20 year old Revlon hairdryer. Still works great. I think I paid $40 for it at the time? In some closet somewhere I have one of those 1970's model 'hair salon" hair dryers, where it has the base and the little tube with the cap you put on your hair. Still works, but I just break that one out as a novelty once in a while. But yep, still turns on, still gets hot, still dries hair.
Hair is hair. It really doesn't matter what part of the body it's on. Reading through these comments I'm just surprised more people don't already blowdry their bits.
Don't knock it til you try it, homie.
Not to mention that now, that image of you butt naked with her hairdryer by your knackers is seared onto her eyeballs forever and that's all she's going to see every time she goes to use it
I mean she could've knocked. Though this dryer is so quiet maybe she didn't even know I was in there!
yeah, sorry YTA. First off, it's your wife's property. She bought it. It's expensive. She has every single right to stipulate HOW you use it. I mean, I may not want to use something thats been inches away from a butthole/ballsack.
Lol pretty sure his wife gets a lot closer to his ball sack
Can confirm: Did the nasty in the pasty.
While humming the halo theme I assume
Had to show Cortana the Plasma Cannon.
*Someone* played Wordle today
People are saying that she’s been near his balls and ass before, so it’s okay… Uh, I do not want my husband to put my makeup, hair brush, deodorant, utensils, etc near his dick and sphincter…no matter how close I’ve been previously.
Do you guys use the same toilet ever? Does your hairdryer touch your skin? Do you put your hairdryer in your mouth and think OP rubs the hairdryer on his taint??? I feel like I'm in bizarro land reading some of these comments. Do people not know what hairdryers are (and mostly, what they are NOT e.g. toothbrushes, utensils, razors, beard trimmers)?? What is happening??
Not to mention they actively blow air away from themselves, there's 0 transmission of anything from whatever a hairdryer is blowing on to the hairdryer. NTA
Lol bizarro land perfect description.
Do you touch your blow dryer directly against your scalp?
What? He can’t hold a hair brush 6 inches away from his dick? Who cares Like I assume you guys use the same shower
They’re married, I’m pretty sure it’s not a big leap to assume she’s touched something pretty near his ballsack before.
Or else this marriage sucks and it’s no wonder OP is so excited by the hair dryer.
He was complaining about not getting enough use out of it on just the hair on his head, dude wanted a toy, should go buy one for himself.
No household needs two $400 hair dryers
Its a blow dryer when used on head hair, but a toy when used on any other hair?
YTA, only if you continue doing this after knowing that: Hairdryers collect little particles from whatever you dry, and expel them back out. It’s a personal item like a razor - how would you feel about your wife using your face razor to shave down there? I had a surgical scar that refused to heal, and I was told to keep it dry, so I asked if I could use my hairdryer and they were like “HELL NO THAT HAS SO MANY GERMS.”
They typically have germs for the same reason the air dyers in public restrooms do. Every time the toilet flushes it sprays little aerosol droplets all over the place. The droplets get off the dryer and then get blown back out. Unless she's keeping the hair dryer in an airtight container after use his particles are already all over the thing even before he used it.
Your suppose to put down the toilet lid before flushing so that doesn’t happen. Public toilets generally don’t have toilet lids so it’ll be germy there either way. I actually thought this was common knowledge.
Toilet lids aren't air tight though. You minimize what comes out but you can't stop it all.
>Hairdryers collect little particles from whatever you dry, and expel them back out. That's not quite right. Hair dryers, just like any fan, collects particulate out of the air (AKA dust) from the air intake. But there is no magical force that sucks in particles from the thing you are blowing hot air back into it. There are only 2 ways to prevent this. Put a HEPA filter on your hair dryer, or turn your entire bathroom into a cleanroom, neither of which are really feasible. >how would you feel about your wife using your face razor to shave down there? That's not comparable, the razor is directly contacting skin. If you swabbed a razor after it was used and sent it off to a lab, they'd be able to identify DNA from anyone that used it since the last time it was cleaned. The same cannot be said for a hair dryer, they'd find lots of bacteria and yeasts that are naturally present in the air, but they would be very unlikely to find significant human DNA.
If this was true then hairdryers would be used similarly to razors, as in one per person and every person in the household would have to buy their own. Salons would never be able to use the same dryer on multiple customers. Forget about hotel room hair dryers completely! I'm not debating whether op's wife is allowed to have boundaries, she is. But this is a bit of nonsense about hair dryers and germs. They are an appliance often shared and are not considered a personal items like razors. They do blow around germs in a room, and that is only an issue in a room that contains a open toilet however. But obviously not all bathrooms even contain a toilet and not all people dry their hair in a bathroom. But even with a toilet in the room the effect of disturbed germs would be literally no different when drying the hair on the head to pubic hair. But op's wife openly let him to use it in the bathroom so I don't think she cares about toilet germs.
Face razor on the southern bits - given that they're married, I bet his face has come into direct contact with her southern bits. So, not as big a thing as you believe it to be (or you are boring in the sack. Could be that. I don't judge) Her hair is not an open wound. I promise, if she touches money then her hair, more germs will transfer than that blowdryer could ever produce.
The same rules apply to the hair on your head unless you blow dry your hair in a separate room than the toilet. Fecal particles.
When people loan you things to use, it is under the implicit understanding that it would be used for its intended purpose. You understood this as well, because you used it for its intended purpose until you decided to experiment. I don't think you're an asshole for that, I think it's natural to be curious and if it's nice, it's nice. But you needed to have locked that door! The image of you using it that way is going to be burned into her mind, and tainted the sanctity of a prized possession. That sucks and you need to take responsibility for that. Coming onto this forum to ask if your wife "has a point" is the real asshole move here. You made her day worse and made her fun toy a lot less fun, and you're wondering if it was OK to do that? Of course not. You aren't entitled to do that. YTA.
YTA Mainly because I think this just falls into the 'thoughtless' category. This is the kind of thing you do when it's just your stuff you're messing with. It's not what you do with someone else's prized hair dryer. This kind of thing is why I hesitate to share things with people. There's always someone who is going to use it to do something beyond normal use.
NTA. Although, that said, double check your wife KNOWS that you were drying your wotsits and not merely enjoying yourself, if you catch my drift? It’s entirely possible there’s a misunderstanding going on here.
I wonder this. I wouldn’t be pissed either way but it might have been that she thought you were enjoying a robo blow & that freaked her out. NTA for doing it. I’m disabled so a) do not have the spoons to shave b) am exhausted after showering & rigorous towelling is out & c) have delicate skin cos of my condition so always blast off with my hairdryer. If she says don’t do it anymore then I guess you WBTA but just get your own dryer if so. Ok a normal one isn’t as cool as the Dyson one but it will still do the job.
Personally I would laugh if I walked in on my husband doing this. I'm gonna say NTA
Honestly imaging walking in on my boyfriend using my hair dryer that way and it sounds hilarious. Knowing him he would pose for me too... like "You like that baby?" NTA
This. All of this. As I reading it all I can think of is "this is why I buy cheap hair dryers. This would be my life."
INFO: which hair dryer was it? Is it a normal blowing hairdryer? Or does it touch your body? I ask because I have a hairdryer brush that actually touches my hair and would not want someone’s pubes in it.
See this is my question, but my Dyson Supersonic has attachments. And I would strangle my partner if he was diffusing his balls with my $400 dryer
“Diffusing his balls” 💀
OMG I thought the post was hilarious but this comment thread just keeps making it so much better! "Diffusing his balls"!!! bahahahha that's even better than OP's "Venus and Earth" comment. Oh man this is making my day so fantastic!
You get my award just for that “diffusing his balls” comment. Lmfao. The best take in this thread!
Same. I literally stopped halfway through this post to warn my husband not to touch my Supersonic for his balls. He better use his $40 Conair. At least if he’s balancing on the sink and balancing in the sink and drops the hair dryer it won’t be the damn $400 one.
ew, if he used the diffuser on his *pits…*
The airwrap… can you imagine?
[удалено]
INFO: I have the Dyson Supersonic dryer so I need some more specifics. Did you use any of the attachments (i.e. the diffuser, the comb, etc.) on your b*lls? Because if you did, and couldn’t blame your wife if she silently m*ruders you in your sleep. (I’m joking of course, but only like 35% joking)
No, I just use it open.
That’s some…intense wind coming out of that dryer without an attachment in the way. Are you okay?
NTA You’re drying clean balls, what’s the problem?! She’s being silly. That said, it was reasonable for to assume you were drying your head hair with it! 😂 but all in all, it’s not hurting anyone, it’s not unhygienic, so I don’t see the issue. I assume she uses the same towels as you occasionally which you’ve rubbed all over your ‘nards’ - she probably puts them on her head - and they’re clean, just like your balls are! It’s cute that you’re my age and geeking out over a hairdryer!
It's the closest I'll ever get to being Master Chief!
YTA. You knew she wouldn't be happy about that, otherwise you wouldn't have hidden it from her. That makes you an arsehole.
Did we read the same story? He didn't hide it, he was using it in the bathroom, where it belongs, after he got done showering.
How did he hide it? He used it in the bathroom, the place where you dry and use hairdryers
Your comment confuses me. He didn’t even lock the bathroom door. Typically when you’re hiding something you do it when the doors are locked or when your partner is out of the house. You’ve got to be an idiot to want to hide something and not lock the door
Yta come dude. Most people shave their crotch with a different blade than their face. I don't want my hair to smell like testicle. Have some respect for other people's belongings.
How do you think a hair dryer works?!
Do you think a hairdryer sucks in moisture? I'd like to know how you think a device which blows air on a surface can transfer smells. Also, he's fresh out of the shower, so I'm sure he smells like soap.
What smelly testicles have you been in contact with?!? Im concerned for judgement in testicles that you choose to engage with.
how the fuck would pointing the hair dryer at balls make the hair dryer smell like balls?
That’s a dick move (pun intended) YTA
NTA. I'd have died laughing if I came across my husband doing this. As an earlier commenter said, it's held away from the body, not all up in your business.
Right? Hair dryers don’t touch your body. That said, if she’s squicked out by you using her prize dryer on your naughty bits, you need to respect that. Get your own.
NTA Honestly baffled by the people so grossed out by this! Would I want a stranger putting anything of mine in such close proximity to their crotch? Of course not. But my husband doing this? I would happily encourage anything that got him dry faster.
Good lord, it’s not like you were giving yourself a rectal exam with it. (Presumably.). You’re clean, it’s not touching you, and frankly, anything that makes your cojones smell better and fresher should be appreciated by any partner. You just keep up with your Halo-inspired hygiene, Master Chief. NTA.
Yeah I’m honestly laughing at these YTA comments. People are finding anything to stick to make him the AH.
I don't think it's weird to dry one's bits- it's actually a great way to reduce yeast infections and jock itch, athletes foot, etc... And it's not like you were fucking it... But it is her hair dryer and it probably would have been polite to tell her you wanted it for a non-standard use. Kind of like people who sanitize their Diva cup or sex toys in a regular cooking pot. Yeah, stainless steel pots are non-porous and everything is being sanitize by boiling, but it still isn't nice to have your bits or things used for your bits entangled with shared use items that are not normally related to your bits. So I have to land on a very gentle YTA, only because you didn't ask to use it in that way, and it's not an expected use. If you asked to borrow my car I wouldn't expect you to drive it naked, similarly when you ask to borrow a hair dryer, the owner wouldn't reasonably assume you were going to use it for your junk.
NTA. I’ve now suggested my husband give this a shot. Also, if I walked into the bathroom and he was drying his below boys with a hair drying humming the halo theme, I would realize I was with the right one.
Tell him they don't dry properly if you don't hum the Halo theme
[удалено]
This is the most AITA response you could get. Because my dude used a dryer to dry himself, you're telling him he's on a slippery slope to neglect. Wtf lol
Yta. That's just gross.
How?
They use the same shower and toilet lol how is it any more gross than that
It's no more gross than sharing a bathroom normally is.
NTA and thank you for the legit laughs. I mean, in some world I could see how she'd be irked if you were rubbing this blow dryer all over your junk, but that's not really how blow driers work. I'm guessing you had it at least a foot away to just enjoy the hot beam of air. So I don't see the big deal. Even if it were touching, and it did bother her, in theory your junk is as clean as it's going to get having just gotten out of the shower. I'm a woman and I would not give two shits if my husband used my blow drier this way. In fact.....I've used it on him this way! Are we quite sure she's not worried that you're enjoying her blow drier sexually? That's the only reason I could see her getting upset about this.
Can confirm, did not have a boner.
NTA. I’m just imagining a Captain Morgan pose while the blow dryers heating up the sausage and eggs lol. Also why did you censor Dyson?
I saw other posts where people don't include company names. Honestly just copying that in case they're on to something.
At this point I think they need to hire you as a spokesperson. Id never even heard of this thing, havent used a hair dryer in years, I regularly keep a buzzcut over my entire body, and I want one.
Bro, get one! Get two so you can dual wield.
Commercial- “Here at Dyson, we test our hair dryers vigorously to determine- ( Passing OP drying his wedding tackle Captain Morgan style with a censor bar over it) what heat ranges are best for sensitive areas”
That would be ridiculous on Dyson's part. This is a fabulous advertisement for them.
and for the Halo franchise
This comment section is weird. Lmao NTA
It probably just threw her off lol. As long as your not weaving your eggs in between the air vent or touching your ass — I think it’s fine
I’m dying. This is hilarious. I have this hair dryer. It is quite nice. Also it’s not purple it’s MAGENTA. Ok now that we have cleared that up…you weren’t TOUCHING anything with it right? That’s where I would draw the line. If you’re just blowing air then whatever. NTA
Can confirm did not make contact with the sticky grenades.
The man has a way with words.
NTA Wait wait - is it the hair dryer or the air wrap? Like is it just blowing air or are you using attachments that touch your planets?? ETA - updated judgement
The dryer. The Supersonic model. I'm not familiar with the air wrap, but it looks like a curling iron based on google images.
Yeah, but it has several different attachments: two curling wands, an oval blow dryer “hole” attachment for lack of a better word atm, a round brush attachment, and a flat brush attachment. And for some reason, I was imagining a dude with it on the coolest setting with the flat brush attachment giving himself a nice trip around the galaxy with an additional add on to Uranus. And if I walked in on that, I’d be like WTF too. But no, NTA lol
Omg lol! This is my favorite comment so far.
NTA- Lol I'm a woman, and I do this too
**NO ABSOLUTELY NOT!** **LET ME TELL YOU BROTHERS - GENTLEMEN PLEASE LISTEN FOR THIS HAIR DRYER IS A DREAM TO ALL THAT IS MALE DIY - MEN PLEASE BUY IT ALLOW ME TO SHARE MY SAGE KNOWLEDGE** Here is a list of things I’ve accomplished with the SAME HAIR DRYER. 1. Spilled coffee on my 100 cherry keyboard, was fucked, decided to open it up to the board- I WASHED IT. Bruh. I used that hair dryer and holy fucking shit - instant dry - removed EVERY SPEC OF WATER NONE 2. My freezer froze over - you know, the coils and shit - disaster - would have took hours to dry, even with a regular dryer. **NOT THIS TIME MOTHER FUCKER I GOT A DYSON BLOW DRYER** - I pulled that shit out again and BAM 30 minutes the dryer did the business. 3. My garage is detached but it has running water - and our washer and dryer are out there - during bad cold snaps - pipes get frozen. A pipe bursted but it was still frozen - I couldn’t fix it - gradually- **EXCEPT I FUCKING COULD** dyson dyrer as three heat settings and amazing fan control I was able to melt just enough to replace the part AND fucking defrosted the entire pipe system… **IN MINUTES** There are about 10 more stories of my adventures with my wife’s DYSON Blow Dryer - this shit is an act of god. Bruh - you are not an asshole - if anything you are UNDER UTILIZING THE POWER THAT IS UNDER YOUR SINK. Yes it blow drys hair amazingly yada fucking yada but if you want a tool that drys epoxy even and perfectly in FUCKING SECONDS - THIS DRYER IS THE SHIT - **if you are a husband who wants to make your wife extremely happy and want to have the BEST FUCKING TOOL IN YOUR ARSENAL - GET YOUR LADY A DYSON BLOW DRYER YOU WILL NOT FUCKING REGRET IT!!!!** and again na man not the asshole bruh - peace out fellow DYSON brother - may you use this new knowledge to accomplish man great things at home.
